The Mark IV:

https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:The_Legendary_Mark_IV

Riddle me this: why is their Repair Amplification on Medium armor? Constructs can't wear it, and a build using Construct Essence(if anyone actually does use that) would probably wear something a lot better.

So why does this exist?

My theory: for the same reason it drops out of a quest with jumping puzzles in a game that has frequent lag spikes and terrible collision detection.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Yes.


Yes but does anyone actually use Construct Essence? I'm relatively sure that's a dead feat outside of very niche flavor builds.

I think they make gear for niche flavor builds.   It’s fine to me if they do that.   One less item I need to grind out.

This. Plus it's not hard to slot heal amp, it's fucking everywhere.

On the flip side; slotting repair amp is a nightmare for the niche group that does use Construct Essence. So I'm not going to fault them for making the arty set have repair amp even if most might not use it.

Do pure artis not take construct essence for repair self healng?

I've never done more than 4 artion a build I've played so I don't know how a pure or mostly arti plays.

What if you have 2 levels of Artificer (rune arm use) and then 18 level of classes with light based spells such as say a warlock or a cleric or a favoured soul?

I can see it for the heroic mk4 for leveling, in 1-20 construct essence makes a certain amount of sense. In Epics though you have cocoon and now other self-healing abilities that just seem superior.

Or if you're using a repeater that does light damage. Or if the shot effect on the runearm does light damage.
