"Elemental versions of the body armor"
"Take a normal BG armor ... and then try to enchant it"
"All the same on the user end"
No indication of the BG armors not receiving stat bonuses.
Yes, you can use other elements on physical classes. You have yet to tell me something I don't know. elements have a far greater impact on magic.
read the last line, it was half an idea. I expanded on it later on in other posts talking to themes.
The elemental percentage change is the same for magic and physical. Now let me blow your mind a bit. Ready? Wizards can change elements at will. Wizards can stack their damage (say SG+ LoV+ MS) Wizards never need to worry about bypassing GR/immune/DR (infact it helps them). Wizards are not affected by Asprikas - instantly putting physical attacks at a 30% less disadvantage.
For every time someone confronts a wizard with an element, there is the ability to instantly change that element to the wizards advantage or neutralize the disadvantage.
Where as your melee/sniper has to use a convert of limited supply or get an endow.
Now, stop it. It's going to be ok. And even if nobody would listen to my suggestion because it was me that suggested it and you're too busy flipping out over my avatar - other people want elemental armors in anyway.... so you are going to have to deal with it.
edit: forgot. you played on Ymir. Everyone and their mother had elemental armor then. Perhaps you didn't WoE, but it was a fact of life on ymir. (a little birdie tells me you didn't WoE until a certain someone on Classic got you into it really). So why was it ok on Ymir and not okay here? You are legitly fighting just to fight and I wish you would stop. If I wanted to "target" you, I'd talk about ET farming, or AI bugging, or something similar. You occupy almost zero room in my thoughts. So please, stop thinking everything is about persecuting you.
Yes, wind armor is annoying. BUT! Meteors aren't affected by it. And ES does between 5 and 9k with hibram in WoE. So SG might take a bit of a knock, but as I said, just get an FAS sniper buddy, or a grimtoother, or a BBer. WoE is a group dynamic, it isn't all about what affects just squirrel.
Water armor might make you a bit sore, but it's worth the 40 JTs? Sit back, laugh, and enjoy abusing the elements. It really is nbd when one attack is halved at the cost of another being doubled.
The major concern with your posts is that you comment on Earth spike not being able to wipe whole guilds. You're one guy. You shouldn't really be able to sit back from a distance and "wipe a whole guild" without a major derp on their part. From a balance point of view, no single player should ever be concerned that their skills don't "wipe a whole guild". Everyone wants to be the hero, sure... but it really isn't right to think about yourself in WoE without considering the impact on the group mechanic. It's not really logical the way you're talking...
