Powerful armor vs of the Traitor

[Dammur]

Elemental BP drops off of Xegony. (Legs drop off Fennin. I have no problems with legs and BP being god loot.) The only elemental that I have been having a problem getting to drop is PLATE bracers. Not sure why.

What I am talking about is breastplate of the traitor. It is supposed to drop off of Ventani the Warder. He has 6 drops, including the BP according to magelo. He drops 2 drops each kill, x ~12 or 13 kills, = 24 to 26 drops, no BP. Multiple times I get 2x resistance stones in 1 kill. My guildmate has killed him more than I have and he has not seen it drop either. I was hoping that someone could check Ventani and see if the drop rate was not bugged- ie if it was supposed to be a 17% drop rate and got accidentally put in as a 1.7 % drop rate, etc.

or can it be put on the Sleeper with a decent drop rate?

Vesk finally got the BP of the Traitor from Ventani we had to have done more than 40 kills to get that one. It is pretty rare.

[Lillu]

where's the fun and the achievement if everything is common? :p

[Aruun]

No complaints here. I could have done without the couple dozen double days with the 2 stones dropping and the shouts of congrats Rot!

[Dammur]

I second the motion to put the Traitor Breastplate (and robe) on Sleeper.

I got lucky with the Traitor BP last weekend. It is really rare... I think it was around the 30th kill I've been on before it dropped. Tell you what though, I've had a lot less luck with the CoH orb considering every other boxer in the guild seems to have one. After over 30 LadyM kills, I called it a day and got Arion for my sos rogue and never looked back.

I completely agree with Lillu's statement. It was tougher back on live cuz getting things you absolutely want took forever. My war's PoFire petsword took 2 months to finally get (almost everyday I camped it), it was not even that useful... more for vanity. At least the warders here on THF spawn daily.

BTW, Traitor BP has lower AC than both ToV BPs (Frozen Gladiator's BP & Chestplate of Fiery Might), so there is a slight tradeoff. Dunno if this was intended by the devs. I wondered about that since the other Traitor armor pieces (mostly) seem to have higher AC than ToV counterparts.

I bump this one as I got BP for War / Bard / cleric & shamy.

AC is not an upgrade from ToV for war (-5 AC compared to ToV BP) & same AC for plate classes (bard/cleric I have), no +12% 1HS modifier, zombie range usefull for Shm/Clr & Pal, just a cliky we really do not use for melee classes...

I would recommend to create a 3rd BP: Tunic of the traitor for Chain classes for AC. (As Traitor BP is an AC upgrade for Shamy for example, have no other chain character and lazy to o through DB right now)

It makes sense to review it, a little bit much AC (for plate classes), maybe effect like chromatic Arc V to get rid of ToV range (you can put arc III on ToV as you did with Ring/shoulder for brillance og miht I vs II) once you reach Full ST gear (getting BP is so long you are full ST or nearly - depends on the toons number, I got 8 toons and except bracers they are prolly ST geared).

AC increase or nerf ToV ones
1HS modifier 12% at least or better if you do not nerf ToV to +6%
a usefull focus effect (All ToV effect are usefull, example healers with mana decrease on main heal at that level).
& a cool clicky.
... would be great. No need to be OP, just an upgrade from ToV considering how easy it is to get ToV BP compared to ST BP (& Robe also).

Thanks for looking into it, that's really needed & whished by lots of non Xegony killers.

PS: Edited with other possibility, some ToV nerf as it was what you already replied.previously.
