Something to consider.Īs for wearing Heavy Armour without proficiency, that is only better than wearing medium armour up until level 12, for a pure Warlock, and has the cost of a much lower max dex bonus (reducing both Dex AC and Dodge). That's quite a sacrifice for a gain of 14 PRR*, and 10 MRR.Īlso, it has been noted in the Known Issues that ASF shold affect Eldritch Blasts**, and that this is a bug - none of the enhancements decrease the ASF on shields or Heavy Armour. #2: If splashing 1 Paladin/Fighter/Cleric, then you lose the capstone, which for Enlightened Spirit gives you full BAB, instead of 3/4 BAB (and an extra +20% HP, +10 Melee Power, +20 Light, +2 Con & Cha, etc.). But the PRR bonus alone makes the feat worthwhile.#1: You can't just take the feat, unless you are Warforged or Bladeforged sadly, you'd need to take Light Armour Proficiency, then Medium Armour Proficiency, and then finally Heavy Armour Proficiency. So, if you are going to be a warlock or bard in heavy armor, it is a good idea to splash a class that gets Heavy Armor Proficency (Pally/Fighter/Cleric) or take the feat. To get rid of ASF you will need enhancements or gear (augments of spell agility for example). But the PRR bonus alone makes the feat worthwhile. Having heavy armor proficiency removes the Armor Check Penalty to attack rolls and also adds 6+BAB to your PRR.
Keep in mind that armor proficiency does not affect ASF. So a swash/warchanter bard can melee and sing in heavy armor with no impact. ASF does not affect a bard's song abilities, but does affect their spell casting. No ASF for light armor and an enhancement extends that to medium. They actually function pretty much the same as Bards. Spell casting is more of a secondary feature for them. The only real difference is that the Warlock eldritch blast/aura affects are not impacted by ASF, and that is the primary source of DPS for the class. They will also get ASF on medium armor unless they have the enhancement in the ES tree that gives them Medium armor.
Warlocks have 35% ASF when wearing heavy armor, same as other arcane casters.
