    I tend to ignore ore armor in general since it’s such a pain in the butt to gather and then smelt. Iron isn’t so bad since it’s a 1:1 but bronze armor needs 3:1 and silver requires you to get lucky with a metal detector item. So for me, at this point I’m just sticking with light armors and prioritizing health foods

  • @BeezerGutlr
    @BeezerGutlr 5 месяцев назад +8

    Armor happens to be one of my biggest gripes with Valheim. I think they need to buff the armor rating of heavy armor or give them minor passives. As it is right now, heavy armor feels way too underpowered when compared to light armors (this becomes even more apparent on harder difficulties). On top of that, the root harnesk is far too overpowered, despite being obtained quite early in the game. Imo, the root harnesk messes with the armor progression of Valheim, since once you unlock it and start using it, you will most likely never need to replace it (and no, the fire weakness doesn't make it more balanced, since you can completely ignore it with barley wine).
    Here's an example of what I'm talking about: Reworking the root harnesk to provide 25% resistance to blunt and pierce. Then reworking the carapace armor, to provide 5% resistance to ALL physical damage types, per piece. This would allow the root harnesk to stay as a relevant option, while keeping it from being as OP as it is now. Passives for other heavy armor pieces, would provide more flexibility and creativity when mixing armors as well.
    I'm not a master of game design and obviously a lot of the armor pieces would need to be reworked, but I think doing this could give the player more options and freedom when selecting armor, as well as eliminate the overwhelming presence of a meta in Valheim.

    • @SpazzyjonesGaming
      @SpazzyjonesGaming  5 месяцев назад +5

      i totally agree. I never use heavy armor hardly. just feels worse most of the time. I agree, a small passive for heavy armor sets could go a long way

  • @tyraelpl
    @tyraelpl 5 месяцев назад +5

    6:31 i disagree here. In theory maybe but in practice? No way one can consistently make this armor. It required quite a lot of mountain caves explored and rng on your side to drop the cultist trophy which is probably one of the rarest in the game due to how rare cultists themselves are. Not a great choice imo. Deer hide cape doest protect vs cold so it's useless in the mountains. Make wolf/lox cape.

    • @SpazzyjonesGaming
      @SpazzyjonesGaming  5 месяцев назад +2

      yeah thats fair. To achieve level 4 across the board you will need to find a lot of frost caves and then the fenris hair and cultist trophy as you mentioned.
      I don't bother with the wolf cape in the mountains a lot of the time if I have already crafted the wolf chest piece or fenris coat as each of those already provide the frost resistance.

    • @tyraelpl
      @tyraelpl 5 месяцев назад +2

      @@SpazzyjonesGaming the thing is those armors are hard or expensive to make. Cape should be probably the very 1st thing to make just to get the resistance vs cold/freezing for farther mining of silver or exploration of the biome for caves (which i high advice against when on curve with progression). Fenris is a great armor but it's too hard and annoying to make and it's usefulness is imo very short lived. It's nice to get eventually for exploration of the 1st 4 or 5 biomes once one gets skills higher up and gets used to the game mechanics.

    The biggest downside of the root armor is that it's a one hit wonder with pierce resist and instantly becomes one of the worst armor pieces in the game the moment you pop bonemass since the effect does not stack and it has very low armor rating, a built in weakness, and a movespeed penalty. It also leaves you extremely vulnerable in the frost caves to cultists, where you typically do not try have access to barley wine. Very good though for deathsquitos and star level draugr archers and spear wielding goblins that are known to chunk you from offscreen.

    I stick with the hybrid armor even with fenris because each article works independently and the drake helmet is a very significant upgrade over the fenris hood and it still gives me a +6 movement speed. In fact, I went into the ashlands still wearing the fenris coat and it turned out that with the carapace helmet and leggings I actually had more armor than the ask set until it was upgraded; which is a total commitment because the buffs only work when the whole set is equipped.

    Since i found SpazzyGames i started to watch all Valheim content one by one. I have always skipped the first 2 armour sets after my first play because they did feel like doing nothing you actually need. Just make sure you eat 3 types of food (i prefer stamina over health) and make 2 weapons in different classes with one being in pierce class (my lazy 2nd class weapon is flint axe because you need it to chop trees anyway) and you should be fine to hunt trolls and go for a full blue set and get the sneak bonus. Also bronze and iron i never spend on armour. First time i do that is with silver, i think getting materials for the benches, boats, cart and a weapon is already enough mining work.

    While I really favor movement as you do, I often make a compromise and wear the highest available Heavy Helmet and Heavy Pants, Root Chest, and Feather Cape. The jump and stamina boosts of the cape, combined with only minor speed loss of the pants, and the best stamina food you have available makes me pretty maneuverable and well armored. Ive only just got into the mistlands, and havent gotten enough materials for more than the Feather cape (first thing I made) and the mist sword, so I havent tried magic yet. Admittedly, I'm VERY nervous about giving up both armor AND heath points to use Eitr armor and Eitr food.
