[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 9820545, member: 6786252"] I think so many people kinda just... assumed that Armorer was good, just because its 2014 version was good, and they didn't change a ton of it. If anything, they probably thought there was a slight buff, because of the expected Homunculus Servant on top of everything else. At a surface glance, it looks good. Strong spell list, the attacks come with pseudo-masteries, extra attack is good, damage output is consistent with martial weapons. Its only when you dig in and do testing that all the flaws start appearing. Speaking of changing models... it takes an hour to use change which model you're using if doing it with the same armor. Doffing an old model, putting on a new armor and transforming it into an Arcane Armor model takes 10 minutes (5 if medium armor) and 1 round. Crazy, huh? .... you know what? I completely missed that Savage Attacker would work with guns. I was so used to thinking of it as "Fighting Style for Greataxe Barbarians" that applying it to a ranged weapon never occurred to me. And the fact that so many optimization circles hate on it means people never really talked about what it could do that was interesting. Huh. Thank ye. [/QUOTE]
