This may just be a personal problem but I think Drakescale should have come with a Masterwork property built in. It is after all marked as a crafted piece of gear so it should have come with something more awesome than +11 armor. I know there were two ways to get it and thus its not as rare as they may like but it could have at least been the "Really awesome book 2 item" everyone wanted if it wasn't so bland.

 

Also if someone brings up the point of "The 11 armor is the Masterwork property" no, as the math for the Masterwork bonus is 10% which would be 17.4 (17 as it would be most likely rounded down) or a total of 191 for the highest armor value pieces placed in MP. 

 

Since I do play a lot of single player, I can base the stats from that. When building a suit of Superb (insert type) Armor of the Dragon (which is the skin they're using) the current maximum armor is 250 on warrior armor; 233 on Rogues; 218 on Mages. There's also no accounting for the loss of the extra material slots either (12 metal utility and 8 cloth/leather defense for warriors; 12 leather utility and 8 cloth/metal defense on rogues; 12 cloth utility and 8 metal/leather defense for mages).

 

Even if they were based around the middle ground tier items for crafting their armor values would be at least 20 points higher in armor value than what we received. 

 

They were meant to be an extra special reward and the skins are nice, but they should A.) have come with a Masterwork property and B.) have come out way back when Dragons were first introduced.

Agreed

Bioware give us more cool stuff! This isn't enough you can do better

I only really use the Drakescale arour on characters I like the look of it on, if I prefer the look of their other armour I'll stick with that (as it usually has a better resistance anyway)

 

Just my thoughts.

Same.

Not for the resistances though. I'm just a fashion ******.

If you made it obviously stronger, everyone would be wearing the same thing. Diversity is the spice of life!

I think the tiny bit of additional armor is enough to compensate for the little bit of % - the armor is more helpful for those playing on lower difficulties or have high promotions, while the old armors are more helpful on the harder difficulties with the %.

 

The character-specific armors are generally nicer though, especially for the Katari.

 

And the Drakeskin looks ghastly on Amund. His half-barbarian, half-Snow-White (complete with brilliant red lips) yet muddy face contrasts badly with the shiny polished armor. Ghastly on Isabela too, that bandanna.

Looks good on most characters, really looks good on Luka and bad ass Korbin.  Rion however.....ugh, had to force him to go back to wearing his hood.

[soulless_swede]

It's unfortunate the appearance of the drakescale armors are a bit glitched; blood splatter on the cloth parts move around when you're running, looks really bad.

all the characters now look similar

I miss the old armors

wish you could  apply the stats but wear what you like

I do agree with this, everyone is missing their unique look nowadays. Drakescale is pretty cool looking, but when everyone is wearing it, ugh.

A large number of people are already wearing it anyway because it was so easy to acquire for newer players as opposed to being forced to make new armor.

Not everyone should have had it, that was the point of having it as the book challenge reward and even then we were only given three suits if you acquired it that way. 

 

The armor in general has been rather lackluster in comparison to how its built in DAISP and previous DA games, that oomph is gone because its armor that's pre-set and has no really awesome ability to it even on the high end (Which it should have some baked in bonus beyond +% to resist or bonus armor) and specifically in reference to DA:I you can't build parts that you want and are stuck with whatever they give you which would add another element of "Its my armor and not yours"

 

In general I would have like to at least put something that I wanted on it at least a little bit, then everyone would have been unique in at least a small way instead of cookie cutter builds and cookie cutter armor across the board.

Idk why they're so easy to get. Why bother making them in a challenge when the challenge is weak. Why if they're lazy enough to put the sp dragon armor in mp why can't we at least color it. Everyone looks way to similar now.

[Gya]

The main problem is that the Avvar now looks like he has a giant testicle growing out of his neck.

[dragondreamer]

I like it on Cillian; it's nice to have a higher tier armor that doesn't cover his head, but still disappears fully with Fade Cloak.  But the ability to simply improve the stats of any armor would be awesome.  There'd be a lot less same-y in appearances.

omg 

I agreed with Ruggie

It is the uniform for routine and threatening.  In Routine, it is about 25-50%.  In Threatening it is about 50-100% in uniform.   It is cool it promotes team spirit.   Go Drake!

 

And it is the easiest and fastest way to unlock Isabella with good armor.   I am pretty sure I will get the rogue chest before getting 49 leather of the same kind.

[ruggie]

Too bad zither doesn't use drakescale

[Hang3d Man]

It makes the Avaar look like Uncle Fester, and when you get a pack of players in drakescale it looks like the raincoat convention at the local "adult" theater just let out. I only use it on the silent sister and Isabella, because I can finally get that frozen turkey carcass of a hat off her head and still wear decent armor.

[Ricksmiley]

I use it on a lot of characters because it's something new. Looked at the top tier armors in my screen for too long. And I don't like isabella's captain hat. And the avvar looks rediculous without that head covered. So that's kind of fun. Imo the drakes Cale looks best on the Templar and alchemist.

[lcneed]

I thought it looks better than the bishop helm the Reaver has.  Although without the helm, she looks like a soccer mom with face paint going to a high school football game.
