A maxed out 77 wizard will one shot anyone at that range. Your level doesn't matter. Your defense rating and weapon attack matter.

WHat you've just described indicates that my defense literally does NOT matter in that situation. This is a problem.

No, it does. Its just that he had a maxed legendary weapon. Meaning it does full damage to anyone. They explicitly state lower levels with maxed weapons will still be a significant threat.

Except ANYONE could be Me, or a level 50 guy. What you're saying is that a fully upgraded gun doesnt give a -blam!- about defense, which means DEFENSE IS MEANINGLESS.

Edited by Father Giliam: 11/19/2014 8:37:39 AMI think you don't get the concept of upgrades. Your armor rating certainly does matter as it lowers the damage you take if the weapon isnt a maxed legendary or exotic. I say again, they explicitly say lower levels with maxed weapons will still pose a significant threat. Its not their fault you didn't understand this.

Who the -blam!- starts playing Iron Banner without a fully upgraded legendary? This means, nearly everybody is deadly as usual. Iron Banner is broken, get over it.

Thats the point. They want players to only enter with the best gear. They made it so if someone tries to enter with sub-par gear, they're screwed. However level shouldn't be the only factor. Skill should be the primary factor. It isn't broken, you just expected to enter with your best gear and anihlate with ease. Thats not how it works. The original Iron Banner was broken, as gear didn't matter at all. Now it does, but, people don't take into acount your gear isn't an "I win" button.

The fact that the lightlevel doesn´t matter at all is bad enough. I don´t want to be screwed by a lvl25 the same way a lvl30 does. Thats not how they advertised the IB, thats not why I made it to lvl30 with lots of ingame hours. The small amount of more armor points a lvl30 has compared to a lvl25 doen´t mean anything at all...maybe one single bullet from a suros. It´s all about the weapons and even the weapons are not really bad or good. A lvl25 with a blue AR can also rip a lvl30 into pieces within a second. The advantages are so small you can simply give a shit about it. So why is there even a IB, when it´s nothing more than the normal PvP with damn ugly gear to buy?
