Shield Weaver

[PaulKrawitz]

This shield armour feels kinda... underwhelming...

The "Nora Silent Hunter Master" armour modified with "Insulated Outfit Weave", "Heat Sink Outfit Weave", and the +3 "Stealth Weave" seems to be one hell of a lot better.


Insulated Outfit Weave:

+25% Resist Shock
+25% Resist Fire
+25% Resist Freeze


Heat Sink Outfit Weave:

+34% Resist Fire
+20% Resist ranged attacks


Stealth Weave:

+14% Stealth
+15% Resist Corruption
+6% Resist Melee attacks

It's been a bit since I've used it, but isn't the gimmick of the shield armour is that it gives you a second, regenerating health bar as a shield?

I guess it depends on your preferences, but I feel having way more health that regens on it's own can be more useful than damage resistances, depending on what difficulty you're playing on.

I always use stealth and attempt to take out the trash quietly... so... I feel like this armour is made for those who prefer a more... obvious approach.

You are comparing something from the BASE game with something that was added later in the DLC. Neither of the first two weaves existed in the base game.
Of course DLC stuff is "overpowered" compared to the base game.

I use the SW in forced boss fights, rest of the game I used Stealth.
