Eof inq. armor...

[ronboga]

<DIV>Any one have any info on the new EoF inq. armor?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Kadurm]

<P>I have a set of this armor given to me from a dev and spent alot of time in the looking testing and feedback,bug, and whatnot. they have changed the look of it for a 3rd time and I guess with the NDA lifted, I can now post some SS of it, Will get some made with the newest look. and post them soon.</P> <P>And for the record, this does look alot more like plate armor now and that makes me happy!..alot better than the original design.</P> <P>Screenshots with stats coming soon.</P>

[ronboga]

Cool can not wait.

[ronboga]

Sweet remember what the stats or benefits were for having 3 or 6 parts of the armor are?<p>Message Edited by ronbogard on <span class=date_text>11-05-2006</span> <span class=time_text>02:16 PM</span>

<P>Updated with more photos and whatnot, and try as I might, I just could not talk them out of the blue and silver colors, I was trying to get black and gold or black and red, No dice, its gonna be silver and blue. BUT</P> <P>at least it looks like plate now. </P> <P>I made mention that none of the class or POPE hats would really look good with the first or second set, and those being the Hoo's or the Relic or the Black coat crown, the colors and style just didnt match. So that along with other reasons may be why the helm might or might not be included at release.</P><p>Message Edited by Kadurm on <span class=date_text>11-05-2006</span> <span class=time_text>02:26 PM</span>

<P>Thanks for the post =)</P> <P>Smoka</P>

[ronboga]

Thanks for the info Kadurm.

[Kadurm]

Hmm sorry for all the darkness in the pics, they looked alot better on the other puter...I need to take some in a very bright spot so you can see it all better...

[krrr]

3 words: Looks like crap. Only thing that`s not as bad is that it is Legendary set, and maybe there will be better one (i hope)

[Catseyes]

Dunno but....that does look too much for me about chain armor... and the breast is very close to wood samourai one ...  it should be close to vanguard full plate ,with pikes on it !! something inspiring fear in the hearts of our enemies !! Yeah, looks to me to much paper and chain armor. Even at second look. Ymrir, 70 inqui befallen<div></div>

<DIV>I hope set bonuses will be retroactive to old armour sets, at least some time in the future. I'd love to see multiple sets available which reinforce different aspects of the class.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Perhaps Blackcoat could reinforce the battle-priest theme (considering SK also has to share it, but maybe a unique cleric final buff since only we can wear the crown) with physical mitigation and offensive buffs. Relic could support the offensive casting theme (I was going to say traditional healer, but this new armour set seems to do that) with some spell crit buff and broad resists.</DIV>

[Gobbwin]

<P>I'd love to see this applied to some of the old armor sets.</P> <P>Common Crafted armor from every tier.</P> <P>Rare Crafted armor from every tier.</P> <P>Fabled sets from epic mobs (Blackcoat in particular).</P> <P>Just to name a few.  However, I vaguely recall hearing that this would only apply to the new armor sets and they wouldn't be retrofitting the old suits.  Which would make sense, they have to show that new armor in the expansion is better than our current armor.  This is made difficult by the fact that they didn't raise the level cap.  So if the new (which Blackcoat is defiantely better than that) is not an upgrade, why persue it?  </P>

From the first version to the 3rd, there was a massive improvement to the plate look. And this may not be the final look. Feedback and such is still a good idea, and im still talking to them about it. So there may yet be more changes.

[Gobbwin]

<P>The one thing that has been nagging at me is the name and description of the armor, it looks more like something from DOF.  (Yes I realise this is likely to change and has little bearing on the armor as a whole, just a random thought).</P> <P> </P> <P>BTW, I remember reading something from one of the devs stating that w/ the new TS lines, you will be able to break down existing armor and add adornments or other such things to enhance it.  Will adding adornments or other such things add similar stats/abilities such as having several of the same armor pieces like the above set?</P>

<DIV>Any one in beta figured out or been told where we get this gear at?</DIV>

And apparently they changed the bp look again, will get a screenie of it up as soon as I get back home, not sure if I like it any better.

There is a better set of actual fabled, it's actually quite nice, miles ahead of the [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ty relic we have now. I think 6 of the 7 pieces have a good chunk of wis and all of them have 150ish hp/power. I wish I could find where beta dumped my screenshots so I could post it.

[Ssinu]

I got the gloves last night off the final boss in Freethinker's Hideout. For me (I was on balanced) the gloves were chrome and very very shiny. Not sure what setting you run at Cimmee but maybe they either changed the look or it looks chrome on higher graphics settings.<div></div>

[Chanah]

<DIV>me wanna see those fabled!!! legendary ones suck <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

Cause the screenshots I took that I have here are on one higher than balanced, Had I know they would show up so dark on the forums, I would have bumped up my gamma. But thats the only thing I can think of as far as the look.</P> <P>I might not ever get to see a set again as of now test server has been down since release of EoF.</P>

well what guild mates tell me labs is hard now so looks like this armor is going to have to do it till soe does something.

WTB evil-er looking armor.... Inquisitors should not be givin the same look as templars imo, I like how they did it with the Black coat armor in Labs and had Inq/SK and Temp/pally I want to see some armors that look a bit more "Fearsome". Not to say I like the old T5 armor graphics over these but I think something like the Oldschool Ebon look would suit an inquisitor kindof good  maybe with some highlites on the upper edge of the sholder piece and have some more edges and maybe some small spikes near the top. nothing too excessive like the stuff i heard WoW has with the largly oversized pads and other Caricature-istics <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span> //NOTE please don't take this as a comparison im just trying to give a perspective of what im describing//)) Ok my 2 cents is spent..... <div></div>

I think the mechanics of that was beyond them.</P> <P>But considering all the love templars got with EoF, im not suprised to see it geared towards a look suitable for them.</P> <P>I even suggested black and gold rather than silver and blue, its just to *nice* looking, we want intimidating and fearsome armor. Not something that needs a good polishing.</P>

<DIV>Hey guys i have a little info on the Inquisitor Armor. Seems that the class specific armor drops randomly in a master chest you get from killing a final boss in the new instances in EoF. What i have learned so far -</DIV> <DIV>Tuesday night my guild ran the new instance "crypt of valdoon" and received the templar/inquisitor bracer drop</DIV> <DIV>Wednesday night my guild ran the crypt again and received the Berzerker/Guardian bracer drop ----this leads me to believe that the bracers drop in Crypt of Valdoon</DIV> <DIV>Friday night (tonight) my guild ran the Obelisk of Blight and received the foot armor drop for Berzerker/guardian--if this follows the same principle as the bracers then maybe this instance is where the class specific foot armor drops (edited by Scottman355).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>plz post more info as we find it on this thread plz</DIV><p>Message Edited by scottman355 on <span class=date_text>11-18-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:11 PM</span>

<DIV>You'd be safe in those assumptions.  Here are my observations thus far after over half a dozen trips through most of the instances / t7 group content.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Helmet: Unknown at the moment.</DIV> <DIV>Shoulders: Named mob in the Mistmoore Catacombs.  I've totally forgotten his name at the moment, but he's in his own room with some kind of attendant as his PH.</DIV> <DIV>BP: Unknown at the moment, assumed to be raid dropped.</DIV> <DIV>Bracers: Drops from the Count (end mob) in the Crypt near Castle Mistmoore.</DIV> <DIV>Gloves: Unknown at the moment.</DIV> <DIV>Pants: I've seen these drop in conjunction with the boots from the end mob in the Obelisk of Blight.  3 of the last 6 chests I've seen drop in there had pants and boots.</DIV> <DIV>Boots: Final mob in the Obelisk of Blight.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I would assume that a piece or two drops in Castle Mistmoore itself, but I haven't been able to venture very far in thus far.</DIV>

I just got the boots this morning.:smileyhappy:

[Mesmer01]

I have seen the Inq boots drop twice in OOB.
