Hey I have an updated Mistlands Sequel to this video! Check it out! - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/fn-onYeYaWuV1HU.html&ab_channel=TerraTanzanite

Giving padded armor a resistance to blunt to really tank/shrug off certain threats could be fun

Once you put Fenris armour on you don’t want to drop it. The best Pyjamas in the game. The speed boost and light weight are OP!

I was kind of disappointed that padded armor gave you no frost resist. It definitely should.

The "Tank" term itself is kinda not applicable in Valheim. Since the whole "just stack armor and nothing can hurt you" thing doesn't exist. Stacking armor just means you don't get one-shot by something sneezing on you. So until we see some actual tank sets just get just enough armor to take 1 or 2 hits and Git Gud

Since mistlands, i play carapace helmet, root harnisk and fenris leggings. 72 armor (i think), good movement and also the pierce resistance

The root chest is godly. Who dies to melee? It’s the damn surprise spears and arrows that get people. All in all there’s no one way to tank and I love that. I usually do a mix of armors and almost always keep the root chest on because of what kills me 9 times out of ten are surprise arrows, or poison. It differs by biome and what you plan to do that determines what gear to bring. It’s perfect

Really would like stagger resist to become the default thing that comes with any heavy chest and legs, then have each metal chest have its own special resistance that helps newer players overcome the biggest danger of the biome it unlocks in. For example a bronze chestplate could have blunt damage resist only, which would make it way more forgiving to fight trolls in the early game and be pretty good against the elder. Legs would have stagger resist to let you block for longer. As it is now bronze armor is a complete waste Iron scale mail = faster movement in deep water (swamp traversal) Wolf armor chest = fine as is Padded chest = very high stagger resist (taking damage or blocking multiple starred fulings isn't a death sentence), Immunity to nighttime Cold (but not Freezing) Carapace chest = ???

I like using the fenris legging instead of the padded. I like the mobility better than the extra armor.

This is a really creative topic that I've thought about myself. I think they should really encourage players to try on different combinations of armor other than providing set bonuses. I think one day or another, the game SHOULD give us a way to use old armor later in the game without the consequence of armor value. Let's say, all the heavy armor are basically biome-specific armor and they provide the best armor value in the specific biome. But once you've conquered the biome and defeated the boss, all the armor sets except heavy armor, receives an upgrade that standardizes their armor values to that of the light armor of the next biome. It's a big topic, but an interesting one. Hope to see you talk more on this

This kind of breakdown is neat to run into. I've always thought you didn't get any bonuses from set pieces unless you wore the whole set.

Random question. At what level does my aiming time with the bow becomes lower? Do I have to use some full set or is it just about leveling up the skill ?

It would be nice to get jewelry slots with resistances or other buffs on like necklaces , bracelets, and rings.

Skaal and hati with carapce legs and chest and fenris hood plus feather capes what im using now i like the way it looks too

At most I just use the three main Padded Armor sets and the Lox Cape Armor (because I might still need Silver). For the Mistlands... Eitr-weave or Carapace?

Agreed 100%. This is a recurring issue with MOST games - LMGs, heavy armour, and 2 handed weapons are "balanced" to be slow and heavy - but they're not balanced with how any game works - if your enemy is fast, hits hard enough, and can attack more frequently (all bonuses of light armour & weapons) then being slow an heavy is a death sentence, becase even if you get 1 hit in, the weapon is never THAT strong. The 2h axe in valheim, for instance, it still takes at least 2 hits to kill most enemies with the axe, and it's achingly slow to swing, so why not use a spear that allows you to stun lock most enemies and stab about 6 times in the time it takes for an axe to swing twice? The heavy armour in Valheim gives you more protection, but enemies hit so hard, if you get caught out, you'll die maybe... 1 second later than if you had light armour, and you almost certainly will die because you move so much slower, with Troll armour I can run rings around enemies, and it's so much easier and more effective than tanking in armour.

I use full heavy and stack stamina food, it’s always worked well. I’ll have to try some mix and matching

Looking forward to applying this as soon as mistlands drops in 2028

This is exactly on point. Give me the choice of 150 armor or +8% base movement: I take the movement everytime. Who needs ac when u got mobility and huge forgiving s?

Armor just needs to work around the resistance aspect of the game like heavy armor having a resistance to blunt but they need to nerf bonemass to compensate and also not have it get above 50% dmg reduction

how do you deal with the tar abominations?

How many hours do you have in valheim?

sadly mistlands cape again gives frost resistance...
