man, i spent hours updating this page and adding in every single heavy armor item available and updating outdated info for some shmuck to revert it back to the old version because they didn't bother to see if the page was updated in the time they had been sitting on it.

I cant be the only one that feels like Gear/armor/weps selection is lackluster....

Missing the Armor of Persistence that you can buy from Dammon in Act 3, automatically gives you "blade ward" and "Resistance", all incoming damage -2

Why does heavy armor thats worse than medium armor even exist? Especially the medium armor that you get at the start of the game? Is it for 8 dex heavy warriors that just got unlucky with loot?

Does anyone know if a negative dex modifier would effect yor AC in heavy armor. Read from DnD 5E that heavy armor af doesn't allow for any dex modifier bonus nor does it subtract from the AC should you gave negative Dexterity score.

All gear in this game is seriously lazy. So many items share the exact same models as the most common gesr despite supposedly being uncommon up to rare/very rare. Like it's some Elderscrolls level of lazy when it comes to differentiating gear.
Especially when the most items tend to differ is by being a slightly different hue or some arbitrary, ultimately pointless "effect" that's so specific it might as well not even be on said item.
This is a game that will end up greatly benefiting from mods. Assuming the modders can stop cooming long enough to make non sex/nudity based mods to begin with.
