    Tier 5 weapons: some notes

    Admittedly, this is all based on description and not experience, but I feel the assumption thing work how they say they do is a safe one.

    1.) The Myrmidon Spear and Ritual Xiphos do roughly half the damage of comparable weapons of their type. This seems excessively low.

    2.) Requirements. No. Awful idea. Need to go. Suggestions would be beautiful and should go on every piece of gear. But requirements limit; pigeonhole; and worst, deny characters access to gear. See Alonso and Luis's weapon options, or Murat's armor choices.

    3.) Event Legendaries are Legendaries too. Don't they deserve specialized gear of their own?

    I agree with all of the above, and have compiled a list of all Tier 5 Gear that is missing within the new format:


    Weapons:

    Sword for Tank (Murat), AOE (Rodrigo) and Support (Niccolò).
    Knife for Stealth (Luis).
    Hidden Blade for Stealth (Máximo).
    Hammer for Navigation (Alonso), Heal (Aleksei) and DPS (Andrea, Bartolomé).
    Polearm for Assassination (Sayyid, Ishak) and DPS (Kensa).


    Armors:

    Heavy Armor for Assassination (Ishak).
    Medium Armor for Navigation (Yusuf, Constanza), Stealth (Máximo), DPS (Mario, Andrea), Tank (Qasim, Murat), AOE (Beatriz, Muza).
    Light Armor for AOE (Rodrigo).


    I'll also point out, it has been overlooked that many support (Claudia, Ysabel, Gershon), and an AOE (Muza) characters require Dexterity for their skills, and none of their tear 5 gear provide any.

    I'm willing to bet this was intentionally done since they added the elite training room to customize stats.
    That being said, for example, paying to add dex to Muza and being stuck with a pole with excessive unnecessary stats needs an adjustment.

    4.) Requiring a special component available only through low-percentage chance is frustrating. Not balanced, definitely not fun. Frustrating.

    Lol. Yep I've only gotten them from completion and this time progression. I honestly dont see me equipping them anytime soon anyway though. Crafted are way better right now.

    5.) All 3 legendary hidden blades have a dexterity boost; none of them have an agility boost. Only Maria uses stealth; Ezio and Jairya are freerunners. Kindly adjust the appropriate weapons to reflect their users' actual abilities.

    They all use dexterity when doing stealth assassination, but I agree on making the weapons reflect their users' abilities. If you see the healers, Ysabel and Claudia have stealth abilities, but none of the T5 gear for them gives dexterity. Same for Muza as an AOE, he picklocks, but gets no dexterity out of any equipment.

    This is where the elite training room gold sink comes in guys. I gotta say, brilliant on their part!

    6.) The stat bonuses of the Vicious Eagle armor are only 40% of every other light armor. Feel free to boost every number on it by 150 percent so it doesn't lag behind.

    We're currently investigating the stats on the Vicious Eagle Armor and other new Gear Items. Should any changes be made in the future, I will include it in the update notes
