Armor durability

[Daddyflapjacks]

lvl 75 heavy armor with full ebony set and after 10 hits it gets broken.....it literally got worse after i got the durability perks, wasn't this bad in the beginning. Its almost like the perks are doing the reverse of what they say and making me take much MORE durability damage after getting them

10 hits from what? The more powerful attack from enemy the more armor gets damaged. If you get hit by either daedric weapons from enemies or GRUMMITES in Shivering Isles your armor pretty much crumbles to dust against them. Also, the game kinda expects you to use repair hammers to fix your armors after each fight. That's just how it is.

Edit: It can of course be a new bug...can't tell myself yet.

Were you hit with a weapon with a armor decay enchantment?

I'm sure it's a bug. Any armor crumbles after 4 enemy hits.

Eh my chainmail takes a beating tbh i forget to repair till it says it's broken and it really dont happen to much, your game must be glitched. Or i'm not high enough level for enemies to be able to destroy it in 3-4 hits.

My ebony armor that I got from Umbra (currently lvl 5) has held 20 hits and is still at 95%.

My armor can take a beating. Playing on hard in light armor. Even leather takes a good amount of punishment

Pretty sure you're getting hit by a Destroy Armour spell/enchantment. They're quite effective.

My armor gets broken in half a dozen hits by fur suited bandits on the Xbox PC version.

Use expert difficultly, master needs to be fixed its way too unbalanced

I'm honest to god not having that experience at all. Very odd

PC gaming is just like that, different specs cause different issues and console deals with that less at times. Spend like 30mins on each beginner mines area because i had to keep kiting and exiting

Expert is broken too, villager 3 hits a wolf with punches and I had to swing at it about 15 times

[Nite69]

thats cause you are still early game that will get easier when you get your skills up, also you need repair hammers for your gear

i don't know, guys. Seems off to me. I'm Level 12, Armorer 53, Heavy Armor 46, and I just had a normal Wolf hit me 3 times and my fully repaired Steel Armor Set was down to Helmet 65, Greaves 69, Cuirass 88, Rest was 100. Might be some negative scaling bug or something.
Edit: I remember that at lower Level this wasn't this pronounced, that's why I said negative scaling bug.

Odd... What's your difficulty level?
