Knight's Armour doesn't stack anymore?! - Guild Wars Forums

Medion · Jan 19, 2006, 06:01 PM // 18:01

In the PvP-character creation screen, the description of Knight's Cuirass:

Armour 80
Reduces Dmg from attacks (non-stacking)
Armour +10 vs Physical Dmg

Does anyone know this about the characters that were created before the update?

I am at least happy that it now is 'normal'.
Thanks Anet

It never has stacked.

It's why I usually use like just the Knight's Boots with an Absorption rune on it with my other Full Gladiators or Platemail armour on my Warrior.

It never did stack, Anet is just putting in text to clarify that.

The question is - is it still global?

Hrmmm maybe they are finally nerfing the "global" stacking of knights gear. That's the way I'm reading it. Will have to go out and do some tests where I take 0 damage and then put on some regular gear without the dmg reduction and see if I get hit for 1 or 2 points.

"Stacking" and "global" are two different things. If it stacked, the absorption from each piece would be cumulative so that you could get some pretty nice reduction.
