Light padding replacement (LPR)

[flameDjinn]

Please could you change it from percent based to flat values? I.e. "reduce armor fatigue by 7".

Because now the heavier armor you have, the more benefit you get. And after last nimble nerf, seems game wants, that we wear only coat of plates. LPR gives 9 fat on coat of plates and only 3 fat on Noble mail, which not very fair.

Also recently i saw golden scale famed armor 299/31 fat/30k gold. But i have coat of plates with LPR - 320/33 fat/9k gold. And what the point of buying it if my coat of plates are better?

Also it allows to wear Noble mail on nimble characters without penalty.

I agree that light padding is a bit unfair to noble mail, -3 seems like a very small benefit. despite this I am using light padding on my only two noble mails in my current game. it feels like a much better use the one light padding that I have on a coat of scales. To be honest though, I already feel like light padding is the best choice for nimble and noble mail, so pushing for a buff feels like a tough sell, even though it is a good point that -3 is very small. so I guess what I would suggest is change it to be either -4 or go by it's current percent, whichever is bigger, that way it stays the same for battleforged bros and gets better for noble mail, but doesnt get too huge of a buff.

What's the point of -4 fat?
I don't see anything bad, if Noble mail + LPR will require 8 fat. You can wear 130/7 helmet for other part which is definitely not overpowered :)

Anyway, current 320 coat of plates which have only 33 fat is a more overpowered (and better than many famed armors), than 8 fat Noble mail.

I agree that coat of plates and coat of scales get far more benefit from light padding than noble mail, but they've just nerfed nimble twice, and you think they would go for buffing light padding on noble mail by more than double? in a situation where I had a noble mail with only -8fat I think I'd use a barbute helm with it(isn't that -9?). right now using a -5 sallet and noble mail with light padding (-12) comes out to -17 and that is not much penalty (but -16 or -15 in this setup would be nice). I agree that battleforged is better than nimble right now, but if they wanted to change that balance I'd argue to buff nimble, not nerf light padding for battleforged and overbuff it for nimble, remember, they sold us on the brawny nerf because of light padding...
