From the TWID posted June 26th: [quote][b]ARMOR ARCHETYPES [/b] One of the major focuses for us when redesigning how armor works in The Edge of Fate was clarity. Not only do these changes help newer Guardians acclimate to more complex buildcrafting, but they also help experienced players quickly evaluate individual armor drops and decide what is the best fit for their build. Armor archetypes are a key part of that effort. Each Armor 3.0 drop has a randomly selected armor archetype. Each of the six available archetypes are themed around a specific playstyle and determine the two highest stats on each piece of armor. Each piece of armor will also roll with a tertiary (or lowest) stat randomly selected from the remaining four stats. The primary (highest) and secondary (second highest) stats determined by your Archetype make armor reliably spiky. We’ve also updated the Armorer Ghost Mods to increase the odds of a specific archetype dropping, to make seeking out the best armor for you easier. Overall, we’ve found this system makes it much easier to earn armor where its stats are landing where you need them to be, rather than in stats you don’t want for your build. • Paragon: Super primary, Melee secondary • Grenadier: Grenade primary, Super secondary • Specialist: Class primary, Weapons secondary • Brawler: Melee primary, Health secondary • Bulwark: Health primary, Class secondary • Gunner: Weapons primary, Grenade secondary [/quote] There are currently [b]six[/b] Armor Archetypes in game, each of which feature fixed Primary and Secondary Stats as well as a randomized Tertiary Stat*. As a result there are a total of [b]twenty-four[/b] Primary/Secondary Stat combinations that are not obtainable on any Armor pieces at this time. [i]* Exotic Class Items in particular receive fixed Stat combinations based upon their Exotic Perks, with the Archetype determined by the Perk in Column 1 and Tertiary Stat by Column 2.[/i] It is possible that additional Archetypes may be added at some point, but I’m not aware of any statements in which the devs have committed to doing so. It’s worth noting that to make every Primary/Secondary Stat combination available under the system as it currently functions would require an additional twenty four Archetypes be added to the existing six.
