Feedback talk:User/Konig Des Todes/Cracked Armor

One comment that comes to mind is that it does seem to be a deliberate design decision on ANet's part that professions that can inflict cracked armour lack skills to exploit it and vice versa - thus requiring cooperation or multiclassing in order to make the best use of them. ("Finish Him!" is an exception, of course, but most opponents don't last long after that triggers anyway...)

That said, I'd certainly agree with adding it to Backbreaker - that's an 'elite' that could really use a bit of a boost. Draxynnic 15:17, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Good point on the co-operation concept. I'll revise when I got enough things settled. (Busy busy day). -- Konig/ talk 23:37, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * After looking at the Cracked Armor page, there are five professions which give the condition, and there are 3 professions which benefit from it. Paragon being in both cases. Funny thing is, is that the caster professions are the one who give cracked armor while the attacker professions are the benefitters. I will have to think about how to revise this to allow co-operation. -- Konig/ talk 00:42, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Better put it on this skill is complete useless right now, 45sec warmup and ends if you use fire magic, only defense vs melee!  or  are much better and respamable... it's a possible way to make Watermagic more interesting in PvP if "Armor of Frost" do about 60 damage + cracked armor, also unknown why watermagic has 3 armors and no real damage --Kali Shin Shivara 01:02, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Water Magic is meant to be defensive, it's not really about offense. They have 3 other lines for damage. Previously Unsigned 22:38, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

I think Cracked Armor is supposed to be rare since it's so powerful. What other skill/condition takes away 20 armor? Previously Unsigned 22:38, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * None, but Cracked Armor is also limited to being unable to go under 60 ar. Daze is also an extremely powerful condition (capable of shutting down 5 professions completely and 2 others partially) and it has 19 ways to apply it (compared to the 14 ways to apply Cracked Armor). Blind too is also a powerful condition (capable of shutting down half of the professions) and has 27 ways to apply it - 1 version being solely on self - and 4 skills which utilize/require blind. Disease is the strongest degenerating condition and is in the same boat as Cracked Armor. Cracked Armor (and disease) lacks compared to the other powerful conditions. -- Konig / talk 22:46, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Regarding disease, any suggestions? ^_^ --Falconeye 05:10, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
