Okay, so the global damage reduction from knights isn't a glitch right? - Guild Wars Forums

I'm about to get fissure knights boots for my war, which is very expensive for me...so I just wanna make sure A.nerf won't nerf this feature.

No one except Anet will know that. The global reduction has been there since Guild Wars was released.

Maybe if Anet change the Knight's set the way that damage reductions from the each part stacks but armor is lower like 70 plus maybe 10 vs physical. Chest knight armor would give -3, leggings -2, boots -1 and gloves -1

technically speaking, it is indeed a "bug", as only knights (warrior) and performers (mesmer) armor bonusses are global. But it has been like this since forever, and Anet is well aware of it, yet they haven't "fixed" it.

i took the glads armor with knights boots combo for my fissure, it's by far the best combo, and even if they ever "fix" it, you only lose 1nrg anyway

During the release of Factions, they changed the description of the Knights and Ascalon armor at the crafter to read "not stacking", thus implying that the reduction was global. Thus, the bug is no longer a bug, but a feature of the armor set.

Nothing is wrong with Knight's. What do you want, to have to put an absorption rune on every piece of armor too? Absorption is global. Life goes on.

eek!
no thx
I wouldn't want to apply so many sup ab runes lol

But this does make the full set of knights useless which may piss off the guy who made the knights set...

And by that time you'll have enough for some new boots anyway. ^^
