Iron Halos and Specialized Iron Halos are way to expensive and not worth the PA cost / LP Cost. Being Fabulous has a price. 600 LP actually
All 600LP rank 5 items are pretty TERRIBLE for the cost. For that kind of cost one would expect them to be at least on pair with actual armor for 400lp, yet they are inferior. Well, that goes from faction to faction as they have different stats and secondary bonuses, but overall, only 400LP items are worth it with 600LP being terrible, even as an "upgrade" to 400lp armor.
I'd prefer iron halos to act like an iron halo, it should negate all damage up to a certain extent, a bit like the storm shield where a stronger weapon will wear it out quicker, but unlike the storm shield it has much longer regen time when depleted. That way it balances out the loadout cost because you'll still have to take poor armour and no upgrades because you're trading them for total invulnerability for a certain time. It also means when the shield does get dropped you'll be pretty vulnerable.
The Major Problem is the fact the LP Cost aren't growing in a Linear Way but in some completly unbearable way. Nothing can Justify +15 Armour = 50 Lp / +25 armour = 150 Lp / +40 = 400 LP / +60 Armour +20% Regen Speed = 600Lp (Seal of Forging / Plated Generator / Iron Halo / Iron Halo of the Stalwart) (LSM GA) +15HP = 50 Lp / +32HP = 150 Lp / +40 Armour = 400 LP / +40 Armour +20HP = 600Lp (Seal of the Medicae / Icon of the Medicae / Iron Halo /Iron Halo of the Savior) It's really unsensitive regarding the progression. You don't progress, you are just stuck with new toys that remain in the Inventory cause you can't use them. I can understand that the lack of proper Matchmaking has favorized this choice to prevent Advanced Players to completly RofloStompSquiggothStyle360°MLGNoScope players that are news or that are re-rolling in another faction. But damn, the only progression feeling I had was when I was unlocking my Weapon Mastery and Few others tools like the melta bomb/ Healing Kit / Ammunition Pack. Outside of RNJesus giving me TRUE things from the box... And let's be clear, I'm not talking about that Scam that are Re-Skinned Weapons / Master Crafted Stuff that are not changing anything. So, it's not the Cost that make no Sense. It's the Progression system in it's design.
Yeah keep using the halo guys! Not like it makes you a giant glowing focus in the middle of every fight or anything!
This is just with rank 3 armor, not rank 5. Also using the cheapest heal spell (foul regen) along with Flickering Fire. Sword mod is 20 LP for 50% charge regen.
I had no idea that Chaos were this powerful. Pretty obvious now that space marines need all their high tier equipment reduced 100lp at minimum. Thanks for posting it.
I wouldn't say I feel any more powerful as a (Veteran) Sorcerer at all. It would be nice if I could fully load out with Rank 5 armor and all slots filled, ignoring costs, since I only spawn twice. This build will let you eat 4 Bolts every few seconds. You still die to 3 power sword hits just the same as anyone else.
