Hello,
I have a question about the URUK damage strong against Heavy Armors made by special troops like Boernings, Black Uruk, Khazad-Dûm Vets with Morning Stars.
They are usually well-balanced but there one thing I find a bit weird.
When troops purchase Heavy Armors, they gain additional health points are therefore far more vulnerable to URUK damage.
But when Heroes gain armor (Nazgul battle armor, Dwarven Mithril coat or Ring Heroes), they do not gain more health points but are more resistant to every damage except from the URUK damage. It passes from 65 % to 100 % in the armor sets of the Edain wiki.
That is funny that a Nazgul when it has not its battle armor take less damage from those type of units than when it gets the heavy armor. Not only in that case Uruk damage ignores Heavy Armor but they do significantly more damage to Heroes with the Armor.
Therefore when I play Dwarves against Lothlorien, I never put on mithril mail on my Heroes because the AI makes a lot of Beornings, so that mithril mail can actually make my Heroes weaker which is a bit "bizarre" when it so difficult to get mitrhil mail and then not that rewarding.
The upgraded heroes are vulnerable at 43 % to SLASH and SPECIALIST damage, therefore I think they should be vulnerable to URUK damage at 65 %, but not 100 % so that it ignores the armor without doing more damage to them.
Is it something to be fixed, or are URUK damage a super powerful counter to armored Heroes and Ring Heroes and meant to be like that ? And maybe in practice there is no problem, I had just take the data of the Edain wiki to put this comment, and I have not really tested out these stats.
Thank you very much !
