Featherweight

[Shmerrick]

Remove this item from the game. It completely breaks the armor load out tiers. This item is disgustingly OP that everyone in the game runs it with their light armor builds that is as defensive as a full heavy. Elden Ring wannabe MMO light armor god tier.

Ohh that looks lovely. How do I get it? Is it a drop from somewhere? As a solo player it would be nice to be able to wear an all light load out. Thanks for the tip.
Eldenr Who?

Not true, while I'd agree this is a key item for healers, it is not for everything else. And even for healers Attuned Leather Pants is a very powerful artifact that allows for really powerful builds.

This is why it's broken.

That is not broken, that is the intended purpose of Featherweight, it is an artifact that enables having more armor. Every artifact has an unique property that gives variety to what you can build on the game, just like Attuned Leather Pants gives you the equivalent attribute increase as having 6 armor pieces, Featherweight gives you the ability to build more armor. That is the point of artifacts.

It is broken. It is giving light armor users access to tank only exclusive illegal perks. It also allows you to use kite shields in light armor. Armor does not scale linearly. Light armor is 70% of what full heavy is. You don't understand math.

If the intention is to increase armor, then have it where it says increases armor by 25% when in a light armor load out and not its current implementation.

Its amazing a the load options make it so. Been here forever . not going anywhere

[Taro]

how can you compare a ~1,2k Armor-set including Feathweight to a ~2,3k Armor in Full heavy and tell the people its "almost the same". And even then, theres not an artifact involved in that ~2,3k or even a shield.
Full heavy reaches way more armor than a featherweight build and you pass on another artifact-effect for the weight reduce resulting in more armor. Whats the problem with that? I dont get the complain...

Glacial Tarn's Frigid Dawn set (Enchanted Ward + Elemental Aversion) was introduced after Featherweight artifact, why not just remove that "illegal" set instead?

nah all the heavy armor using tanks or soloers need such frigid armor after all the nerf plate armor was granted since eternity.

not all care much about pvp balance always nerf this or remove that just leave pve alone please.

a lot of daily soul tries include being able to facetank nasty bosses without any support dont more nerfs for the next years.
