headfullofdread Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) Why are my light armors out classing my heavy? What are the best upgraded weapons & armor, Unique items vs crafted? I just finished alchemy/enchanting/smithing gear and potions and am in the process of upgrading my gear with smithing gear & potions. I have full sets of daedric, dragon plate & scale as well as the deathbrand set as I'd been using it and figured why not upgrade it. 5/5 on each armor, all perks besides the 10% perk on each, no additional armor perks/ench. Armor stats after upgrade -Deathbrand 913Dragon scale 920Dragon plate 893 (smithing potion might have run out)Daedric 903 (did first, smithing potion def in effect) I can see the unique having a little extra ummph, but scale better than daedric...really?

JimmyRJump Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Since we don't have a clue which mods you use and what other voodoo-magic you employ, how are we supposed to answer your questions? Personally, I don't care too much what my character is wearing, as long as she looks good. If the resistance gets a touch overwhelming, I add tgm to the console and down go the suckers. "Blasphemy" I can hear you shout, but, I'm in it for the fun and exploring, not for the "challenge" of beating a crooked A.I. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabdez Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 You know that physical damage reduction by armor is capped at 80% which can be achieved with WAY LOWER armor ratings already?

For more details on armor: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:ArmorI knew there is a cap but just wasn't sure what it was. That still doesn't explain how the light armor have a higher armor rating than the heavy, regardless of caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
