Glad you guys like my idea so much! Keep the feedback coming!

Well, I think we should be giving the weaponsmiths a market. So I think our damage should be higher with VK's...

But it would perhaps be nice to lower the randomness, yes.

I use my VK only against Targets with Armor or Resist against Kinetic, because of the AR 1 on the VK

How about this....

Let's say you hit for 350-400 with no VKs.

Now, make the VKs have a lower minimum and a higher maximum, instead of stacking. something like, say, 200-500, or whatever. (you get the idea, i hope)

This way, if you don't wear VKs, you have a constant high damage weapon, and about the same DPS as someone with a VK, who can indeed hit harded, but may also hit a lot softer at times....

Just something i thought about. Tell me your thoughts. Feel free to add to it, too.

I don't think AP1 has any effect on something with Kinetic resist. If you fight a boar wolf ravager, you do 25% more damage with VKs, since they have no armor, but your overall damage is cut in half because they have 50% kinetic resist....

I only use the VK if I am tanking something and not using specials, which is what I'm doing now that dizzy is broken again. Feh.

What's broken about dizzy? nvm... i'll go read the "Dizzy Broken" thread. heh. But i also only wear VKs when tanking in full armor. I start the fight out with my debuff macro, then UH3 twice, and as i am spinning i hit my armor macro and my VK macro, and let the fight run its course.

Now imagine if you used your fists alone. You're now limited to a 50% armour penalty using AP0 fists vs AR1 mob, then another 50% on top of that for the kinetic resist of the mob.
So if you hit it for 100 damage without VK's.
It resists 50+25 = 75 damage. Total Damage dealt to Mob: 25

If you hit with VK's. It resists 50 damage total. Total damage dealt to Mob: 50

correct me if i'm wrong though please, as my figures might be incorrect.
