iksar planes gear

[Rais]

They added it because they were too lazy to put it in during Kunark and was crunched for time in releasing Kunark. Sony/Varent put off so many things just to try and disprove what the player base said.

Example
Players: There's a exp penalty for hybirds
Sony/Varent : No there isn't.
Many months/year later " Oh yea, there was. We are removing this since it was never intended."

You can make a 1000 word essay on things they didn't intend and changed after the fact and said it was suppose to be classic.

Right, so post the sources and see what up.

I played an Iksar warrior for a little bit live and got some of the planar armor.

Iit was called Legionnaire Scale armor if I recall correctly. I could be wrong on this.

The stats weren't as good as cobalt, but it closed the gap ALOT.

I found some information on the iksar warrior armor. Not sure how accurate it is.

Greenmist was the SK armor.

Gotta see what their reason for adding it was, but still dates will probably reign supreme.

I believe their reason for adding it was that originally the iksar had the innate AC bonus, which would make up for them not being able to wear plate. The AC bonus wasn't as great as to be expected, and with new armor sets and new mobs that hit harder coming out, that AC bonus just wasn't going to cut it so they put in armor with higher AC and stats that Iksars could wear.

should be about a year until you see planar armour on iksars

The thing with the iksar armor being added as planar drops only in velious is that by the time we can get it, the high level iksars will already have or will be trying to get velious armor, which is much better. I know I will probably try to collect it, but more as an artifact than as a needed item. I know that from a practical standpoint, I would simply skip the armor if it is only released in velious. Like Rais said, it was a mistake on Verant's part to not include those armors until velious. When they finally did fix it, noone cared, because even the thurg armor or the PoG armor is arguably as easy to get as the PoF/PoH armor and is better.

That being said, it is classic and I've already accepted the fact that the armor will probably not be available until Velious.

I would like to see what the gap is between an iksar SK and a regular SK with the greenmist armor atm tho. Currently, if the regular sk is best in slot or close to, I will probably be behind by about 200 ac, while I will be about 100 ac behind a regular well geared SK.

When velious is released iksar planar armor is pretty much junk. The true farm for the iksars will be plate house in kael. Thurg armor has more ac, hp, and saves than planar. In all honesty if people are to desire it, it needs in now. Following the classic timeline is one thing, making the same screw ups sony did is just retardation. This falls in line with greenmist being active quest for 4 years, but broken/bugged before they finally got around to fixing it. I realize making the same mistake as sony is following the timeline, but thats like getting kicked by a mule because someone else did.
