Leather armours vs metal armours
Posted: Thu Oct 14, 2021 2:59 pm
So, I am slightly bummed, and hoping someone can slightly shed some light on the situation.
I have recently started training metal armours to see how I'd like them.
I have 2 pieces of steel armour, both dwarven made.
When putting the helmet and the chainmail on, and checked combat, it showed that they encumbered me a bit.
This includes a wooden shield.
I also, removed my warglove, and started to use a normal leather gauntlet.
With the rest of my armours remaining leathers.
With this new setup, my combat speed went from much slower then average, to slightly slower.
However, on the other hand, my weight went from 6 points up to 11.
I didn't think this would have so much of an affect.
However, I went from being able somewhat handle hobgoblins, orcs and goblins with somewhat ease to practly 0.
Even tackling groups of nibblers was horrible.
I feel like I went from having some kind of progress back down to completely newbie status with thildens.
My strength is far from strong, and my agi is far from swift.
Is there really that much difference between combat speed when typing combat, and weight under the vitality command?
I mean, I can hardly hit anything, and everything is just putting me in my place.
I am wondering maybe its just the lack of training in metal armours?
Or is this like a life long issue?
If someone can maybe shed some light on this, I'd very much appreciate it.
Thanks.
