Hey,
Lovely game still going strong after 20+ years. D2R brought awesome new graphics and nice looking armors for all of the characters. However, due to the unnecessary faster run walk penalty for medium/heavy armors only 15/45 armors are used at all, or 5/15 from Elite versions. The game would benefit by just removing the FRW penalty to medium and heavy armors, bring more cool looking options and combinations.
The armor type itself doesn’t add anything to the game or break/create any new builds. It only limits most of the armors unusable especially on Bnet.
Please remove FRW penalty from medium/heavy armors in a future patch
