How much is it now with your armor? Is that really “virtually useless against anything except the easiest NPCs”? Since dodging is supposed to be a light armor user’s main defense, the number showing on your Statistics screen is the amount your damage gets reduced when you screw up a dodge. Take a look at your total damage reduction on the Statistics tab. The difference between the best light and the best heavy wasn’t very big, and since dodging is much easier in light armor, there was little point wearing heavy. On the other hand, with the best light armors (with one piece of medium) you could get to ~65 % damage reduction. Increasing that much more would be difficult. You can get around 80 % damage reduction with the best heavy armor and stuff. The problem here is, they can’t increase the ratings of medioum or heavy armor much more or they risk making heavy armor players invulnerable. Wouldn’t it make more sense to increase the protection of medium armor and then the protection of heavy
