I think a warrior tattoo armor would be sweet. they could call it berserker armor or something like that

Sure, if it gives you an AL of 60 max... but then you could just play a caster anyway. Whats the point of this? Oo
Or is it the naked amazon warrior thingie again?

Gladiator's armor for the win?

derrtyboy69 · Aug 16, 2005, 04:04 PM // 16:04

thats basicly being a monk, as any tatoos would have a low armor rating

Mithie · Aug 16, 2005, 05:18 PM // 17:18

Yes, because fingerpainting your naked chest is going to stop an aataxe claw.

Well for the non-smarta$$ed posters - its obvious the tattoos for monks are imbued with some type of protection abilities, otherwise (like normal tats) you might as well be running around naked!

What's the problem with applying the same idea to another builds armour?? Sure knock the AL down a lil but add some boost to an attribute for balance. Not a bad idea on the surface but it does muddy the waters when you factor in that another class already uses this type of armour design.

I was thinking mabye a lower AC but you gain more adren or someting along those lines

Jigs · Aug 16, 2005, 06:33 PM // 18:33

or maybe tattoo just to distinguish our characters from the rest. just yesterday, i went to storage and saw this character standing next to me and we look very the same. red hair, same face, same complexion and the same silver platemail armor. the only difference is our cape.

I don't think Warrior would look likk Warriors with body armor.It is different with Monks and Necros as for the most part they are casters.

That's kind of a cool idea, having warrior tattoos/scars that give you more adrenaline when hit there.

Look at Conan, he kicked ass and only wore fur skinned jockey shorts.

I had the same idea of some type of "beserker" armor. I like the more adrenalin idea for the armor too.

Remember the barbs from Diablo II?

Make some Celtic designs, like ones from Braveheart.

yup, barbarians. in some stories i read, they use tattoos as additional incantations for protection or for enhancing their attacks

Halmyr · Aug 16, 2005, 09:18 PM // 21:18

but they did not work did they, nope, keep painting to the caster, warrior are made for a weapon, an armor, and thats about it.

Nope never played it this is my 1st RPG and Beserkers wore armor unlike the other Viking warrior which had better armor.It was the frame of mind that the beserker was in when fighting and there weren't that many of them.They fought along side the other warriors.

No.

If you want tatoos, be a monk. If you want more energy for your warrior, get Gladiator's Armour. There's no way in hell a tatoo would stop a sword, arrow or anything of the sort.

lets face it, warriors in this game looks more just a knight or soldiers(except gladiator). they embodies knight but what about other kinds of warriors. There are several kinds of melee warriors.

when we see ppl w/ tattoos, kinda makes them look they are tough ppl (even chicks w/ tattoo looks tough and sexy

)

in some cultures, it's their warriors who have a lot of tattoos as a badge of honor or whatever

if it didn't work b4, maybe the Devs can make it work. Anythings possible in this game

Aside from all the people concerned about the looks, I've always wanted more diversity in the armor selection. Some serious balancing should also be done with the armors, as there should never be 1 specific combination that's always better than the others, for instance, the popular warrior combo: +1 attribute hat, glad chest, glad pants, knights boots and stonefist gaunts/glad gloves.

With some balancing I'd like to see some diversity, and this tattoo idea for example wouldn't be bad, if lets say it only offered the basic 60 AL any caster would have, but offered an attack bonus of lets say, 1.5 per piece (maybe smaller bonuses on the hands/feet to satisfy the low hit percentage on them vs. the universal bonus they add, which should also count for all energy boosting pieces).

Sure, I throw ideas like the one above out when it's intention is just to look cooler, however I do see more diversity for the future if dmg adding armor was implemented, and what would hopefully result in a more strategic armor selection, rather than just thinking about defense vs. energy.

what does the tattoo do for the monk in this game? more energy or whatever, I don't have a monk character. Maybe the tattoo for the warrior will improve something. Does the monk's tattoo stop a sword, arrow or anything of the sort?

The same question applies to all.
