Rework for all armors (Balancing changes)

Now that Netherite armors are a thing, I think this is the perfect time to balance all of the armors.

My suggestions:

  • Remove toughness. It only makes the game more complicated. If you want to make a strong armor, just modify the armor values. Most people don't even know how toughness works anyways.
  • Modify the damage reduction each full set of armors provide.

 

A full set of Leather should grant you 40% DR                                           Buffed

A full set of Chainmail/Golden armor should grant you 50% DR                Buffed

A full set of Iron should grant you 60% DR (Turtle Shell included)          Unchanged

A full set of DIamond should grant you 70% DR                                         Nerfed

A full set of Netherite should grant you 80% DR                       Almost Unchanged

 

This should make the transition between armors feel more balanced. And It will make the Leather/Chainmail/Golden armors actually viable.

    I think Netherite should protect as Diamond, but offering more durability, being anti-kb and fireproof
