*theory*

My theory (not fact, not backed up, just purely speculative), is that cracked armor is a new name for deep wound. If you look at the skill torturous lash, you'll see that it doesn't include deep wound, poision, disease, or burning. The last three I can understand, since it would lead to immidate max degen on the target. But why wouldn't/shouldn't that skill cause deep wound as well?

No need to be rude.

Random thoughts on "cracked armor" since I'm not allowed to reply without being on topic:

It could be a monster affect that you can't remove (most likely).
It could be a condition which is pointless IMHO as it will be easily removed (somewhat likely).
It could permanently destory your armor and "Oh NOES!" there goes your FoW with Sup Vigor (wouldn't that be special)!
It could force your char to morph into a naked W/Mo, cast mending on yourself, Leeroy Jenkins into a huge aggro, and then rage quit (wow how awesome would this be).
It could be the answer to all the SR nerfs so necros finally get some love: While under the affects of cracked armor your char suffers -40 AL but gains 1 energy for every 5 damage recieved. If a char dies while under the effects of this condition all members of your party receive 50 energy but also suffer from disease, poison, and weakness for 25 seconds. If a necromancer dies while under the affects of this condition a level 55 bone dragon will be summoned from his corpse that moves 3000% faster and strikes all nearby foes for 500 vampiric damage every second for each level of soul reaping.

Wow imaginative entertainment is kinda fun actually! Now I can't wait to finally find out what "cracked armor" will actually end up being!

LOL Awesome ideas! I approve.

I actually took your comment to be alittle rude though I should have perhaps had a please in my post.

Hopefully they bring in decay etc, then my decision to quit will be easier. LOL

Bwhahahah Sam, <3. But really, this condition appears to be pretty cool. Maybe there's going to be a single elite skill which can bring a warrior's heavy AL down to that of a monk's tatts? Anywho, they're never going to allow the breaking of actual armor, that's absurd.

MirageMaster · Apr 10, 2007, 10:31 PM // 22:31

you realise that it would be the death of all warriors then?

Creates the potential for a new Warrior shout...

"You Want a Piece of Me!" (requirements TBD)
All enemies attacking you suffer from Cracked Armor and Weakness for 5 - 17 seconds.

Can't we just wait till the game is release?

Eldin · Apr 10, 2007, 11:09 PM // 23:09

Crack armor? Maybe rip armor. But what about scar/ascetic necros and monks? Paint remover?

onerabbit · Apr 10, 2007, 11:25 PM // 23:25

Repairing Cracked armor for 1k! (2k at trader)

Zexion · Apr 10, 2007, 11:29 PM // 23:29

I suppose it will be a condition that either reduces your effitive armor by 20 AL or turns your armor into 60 AL (thus effectively ignoring the armor)

I remember this idea being suggested in Sardelac Sanitarium, err, multiple times, but it was a while ago... This was before I got completely fed up with that area. :S

ensoriki · Apr 11, 2007, 12:52 AM // 00:52

If it reduces armor by 30 I'd be super happy

Go A/N hopefully having a cracker armor skill

Weaken armor+ cracked armor

And have a monk cast Judges insight

Your basically 2hko Every monk ^.^

arcanemacabre · Apr 11, 2007, 01:29 AM // 01:29

Simple, Cracked Armor is a condition that causes all non-armor-ignoring damage sources to have added 20% armor penetration.

That's some bad maths right there..

What would blind do to ritualists, for that matter?

Sometimes you just have to suspend your disbelief a bit.

Not true.

Let the normal running speed be 1.

1 x 3000% = 30

The running speed with a 3000% increase is 30 speed.

30 - 90% = 3

The running speed with a 3000% increase and a 90% snare is 3.

With the 3000% increase and a 90% reduction, you end up running at 3 times the normal speed.
