The Gaige part was just an example they aren't normal. The IP said to use facts we know and we know the vault hunters can get far stronger than guardians and levels are the only way to measure it. Plus you could just use the sham and it negates most of destinies enemies. Most weapons in borderlands are capable of piercing the armor of guardians, and zero and krieg can easily penetrate it too.

That is all conjecture. You're focusing on numbers, when the numbers are completely arbitrary. We can't know if the sham works on Light/glimmer ammunition. We can't tell that Kreig can puncture a Guardians armor (though the presence of inertial dampeners seriously suggests he wouldn't be able to). Level 72 in Borderlands could be EXACTLY THE SAME as level 32 in Destiny. The numbers are irrelevant. What we do have, however, is two enemy forces with, between them, control over energy and time, as well as the Fallen being able to MANIPULATE SOULS.
-
But we don't know the sham won't work either. Krieg as he can easily shred robots using advance shielding and armor that's sturdier than guardian armor. The fallen have only been shown to manipulate their own souls, and the vex can't do much outside the vault without portals and even them it's limited.
-
On what evidence do you propose that loader armor and shielding is stronger than Guardian armor?
-
Edited by Firefly9715: 4/29/2015 11:09:57 PMI was referring more to constructor armor or Saturn's armor. Those are both starship level plating, definitely tougher than a guardians.
-
First, melee attacks against something like Saturn, while not ineffective, don't exactly do catastrophic damage in a single swing. Second, that is still under the assumption that the blades the vault hunters use are damaging enough to penetrate Guardian armor, and that the overall force levels are similar. We don't know this.
-
While they don't do catastrophic damage to Saturn mainly due to his large size, it shows that they can cut through very thick armor. A guardian wouldn't be able to wear armor that thick and inertial dampeners don't really help if what is swinging at you is stronger than a knight which already cuts through guardian armor.
-
Actually, yeah, inertial dampeners would still help a lot. They dampen inertia, which is the entirety of why things that hit you hurt.
-
I know what they do, Its just that a knight can already cut through with little resistance from the dampeners, and Kreig is stronger than a knight. Also its a blade not a blunt object, and there is no evidence that these dampeners actually exist in the guardians armor.
-
The construction of the armor is detailed between the equipment flavor text and some grimoire entries. I'm trying to find a compilation post that was on either here or reddit that lists the armor makeup by referencing these. Could take a while, will link as soon as I find it.
-
Ah, no problem. I haven't leveled my titan so I haven;t read the flavor text. I probably just missed it in the grimoire. Wouldn't only titans have that in their armor though?
-
Hunters make their own armor, generally by integrating bits of Titan and Warlock armor together along with whatever they feel they need. Warlock armor is focused on freedom of movement and assisting their mental capabilities. Their abilities are dependent on them maintaining Flow State, a real psychological/physiological phenomenon (google it, pretty awesome). Because of the need of freedom of movement, it actually relies more on the technological side of the armor than the other two, so heavy armor plates aren't needed.
-
That is pretty neat. although all that flow probably has a negative on defensive capabilities.
-
Not really. It is complete focus in the task at hand. If that task is combat, should be fine. Their defensive lacking comes from the need for mobility. Those armor plates they are missing do make a difference.
-
Norfleet and 97% Sham dominates all Guardians enough said
-
Yea, that was more of what I'm aiming at. since its more for movement and focus it would have less protective plating.
