Why is Nimble so popular here? Don't you need to wear light armor to maximize it? Is it worth giving up heavy armor for?
Porky:
a) You need good heavy armour to actually make a bro more tanky than a nimble bro with decent health - and you don't have that early (usually)
Around 200 AP per piece IMO and you will get around 80% mitigation. If you play really aggressive you can get from bandit leaders early game, bring tons of nets.Porky:

What's the cut-off point? Like is early mail enough (around 90-110 armor)?
It does not make any less sense than shield bonus applying to both flanks of a character simultaneously.Oh, right. It is just an abstraction (thanks for telling us, we'd never guess otherwise), but it makes perfectly sense because "Say a berserk orc comes up with a 2h axe and does an overhead chop. If you move only slightly and it comes down on your collar bone--probably dead--if you move slightly more and it lands on your arm, you might get a very deep cut but live." Stop trying so hard.
GOD-tier perk on any specialised tank for its ability to control the battlefield, what the fuck are they spending stamina on anyway but shieldwall (when engaging multiples) and taunt?I never pick it, because it was so inconsistent in the past that I found it to be effectively useless. Having it cost any amount of stamina to be able use it, is a cherry on top, considering how valuable stamina is overall. Does anyone else have a different experience with it?Also, I never pick taunt, because it's for faggots. :D
Hey, you are the one who pulled out the realism card with your retarded talk about moving your collarbone a hair away from a mortal blow and getting a 'deep cut in the arm' instead (which by itself says a lot). I did not want to touch the military realism thing with a long pole, since it really makes no sense.It does not make any less sense than shield bonus applying to both flanks of a character simultaneously.Oh, right.

Do you refuse to use shields, too, because it breaks your imursi0n and makes the game too easy? How is someone with a 2h sword supposed to hit two people in a line at once and do any damage? Can someone with a wooden stick really stun a fully armored knight? Nimble makes more sense than battle forged thematically—do you refuse to use any damage mitigation talents because in some situations they don’t make perfect 1:1 simulationist sense?
Hmm... I don’t care what you use, but if you’re going to be a dick I’m going to point out how stupid you are.
Just responding to what you said.you seem to be unable to let go
Have you ever been in a fight? Have you ever been in a fight with a drunk? A drunk man will move much slower out of the way of a blow than a sober one. It is not ridiculous at all that a nimble person will be hit less vitally than a slow person. As for realism, you're the one who said it doesn't make sense for a lightly armored person to be able to move out of the way of a blow faster than a heavily armored one.your retarded talk about moving your collarbone a hair away from a mortal blow and getting a 'deep cut in the arm'
Go ahead and keep dying to RNG because you refuse to take RNG mitigating talents for "personal reasons" and then complain about it on the internet.Nimble does not make much sense mechanically. I've written more than enough about it.
That's a stupid question, since it's easy to go through stamina very rapidly, even if all you do is shieldwall (which is why I tend to pick Recover for any designated shield brother).GOD-tier perk on any specialised tank for its ability to control the battlefield, what the fuck are they spending stamina on anyway but shieldwall (when engaging multiples) and taunt?
You really have some trouble grasping the difference between 'doesn't make sense in terms of realism' and 'doesn't make sense mechanically'. There's already Dodge for "being able to move out of the ways thanks to wearing lighter armour". Nimble is not "moving out of the way", unless it's "moving out of the way but not quite, each time". In other words, it's unlimited Stoneskins (3th ed.) on steroids without the vulnerability to adamantine weapons . No management, not tied to anything, just select the perk and it works under any circumstances, no matter if you are dazed, goblin-poisoned, chilled, shellshocked, staggered, trapped in vines, trapped in web, with sand in your eyes, swarmed with insects. You might be netted, but hey, a mere net cannot restrict your Shaolin monk body-twisting. You might be fleeing in panic, but your body is not afraid, and it will dodge so precisely that you'll take only half punishment or so. Stunned or horrified? Ultra-instinct here we come. A hexe might possess your mind, but your body has a mind of its own and it will keep doing the Harlem Shake in spite of her diabolical powers. Got broken leg, pierced leg muscles, injured knee-cap, cut leg muscles, sprained ankle, broken knee, and maimed foot? Ha, still half-dodging!Just responding to what you said.you seem to be unable to let go

That's some next level projection, Porky. But you shouldn't let your obesity ruin your life, otherwise you'll be still at level 5 on day 100+, and become the laughing stock of the entire BB thread.Two fat nerds that need a scooter to get to the fridge arguing about the notion of nimbleness online. I love it.
What an "early mail" acquired on "day 1" has to do with balance between nimble and battleforged and the reason why one would want to use nimble over battleforged for some bros.You can get someone early mail pretty much on Day 1, it definitely isn't "you don't have that early (usually)".

Bullshit. Obviously Chewie has to deal with higher body temperature on account of all that fur.*I vote Leia but it is a close call
