Armor of the Blighted Legion: One-Sided.
🕑 Added 2022-05-14 22:30:01 +0000 UTCGreetings All!
I really like big armor. Purposefully marked plate for - Breastplate, Half Plate, & Full Plate.
I wanted something that didn’t match the armor of the dead from DA, while still carrying over the look of the previous helm. This was the result, falling onto one shoulder pauldron and letting it be the core breastplate.
For Rare, this is pretty powerful, but considering the resource cost I think it is relatively balanced with attunement since they do not share a charge pool. That might actually weaken both of the items more than benefit from a set. So I chipped away at some interesting options, including the retaliation which was a new take for me. Something about a survivor harnessing what was hurting them tickled me.
Updates: Highlight swaps and changes.
Truly, as always and ever sincerely, Thank You.

Description:
Few armors remain of the mighty souls that plunged headlong into the unspeakable. As the story tells, a legion of brave souls under the command of Alastor the Fated rode to face a dire evil. Whatever happened upon this journey and its conclusion twisted and broke countless and burdened those who managed to return until the end of their days. Of those original few that had seen the heart of the Far Reaches, these relics remain. Having brushed against corruption, they returned resilient enough to have survived in spite of their adversities.
