I dont think armor or weapons need to be easier to come by. I did 60+ damage in one hit to somebody with full shadow + heater (55-60 AR I bet), with a hally of ruin. Ruins do PLENTY of damage. Hell, a regular bardiche will do 20-30 damage per hit easily.

See dont complicate one problem with another. Having the armors right now and them not reducing damage shouldnt effect how often a monster drops ruins/might/force/power. Honestly, you're telling me you dont want to reduce ruin/might/force/power. I mean seriously, whens the last time you used that in a tournement? There should be more going around, being the second highest class weapon, it shouldnt be extinct, same with the other ones. Whats wrong with having a lot of weapons? You dont use them for tournements so therefore only other place to use them is for duels/ganking. I mean power should be harder to find than ruin/might/force, but should still be common/rare at the same time.

The rest of the three class's of weapons should still drop at a faster rate.

So if theres a problem with the damages that you deal, it should be tweaked a little by the admins to best suit each class of weapon/item.
