So there had been several mentions of previous tier armor having a penalty vs. current tier armor.

For shields this was obvious as you can put on a fabled T7 shield with higher stats in everything and then put on a treasured T8 shield with lower stats but see your avoidance go way up (particularly in block).

However it was mentioned the same went for armor. I was looking through my bank and found two bps with the exact same mitigation of different tier:

LootDB.com | EverQuest II Item Database - Hurricane Forged Cuirass
LootDB.com | EverQuest II Item Database - Breastplate of Ravaged Onslaught

Putting them on I saw no difference in mitigation. So was just curious if the tier penalty/bonus applies only to shields? Does fabled for armor make a difference to bring it up a tier? Do weapons get affected also? Just seeing if there is a definitive answer out there.

hold your mouse over the mitigation number and take a look at the % of damage mitigated between the two pieces of armor

hold your mouse over his post and read again.

He stated he did.

No he didn't, he said that he "saw no difference in mitigation" - he didn't say if he saw no difference in the number, or the percentage - so Treggar gave good advice.

Troll much?
