Default Re: Batrachos Greaves = excessive DA ... ?

Ok, well, maybe google translation altered the tone of my words and if this is the case, I'm sorry. Just to be sure that I'm not misunderstood anymore this time, I made sure that someone check my post before I post it..
So, this is not about making things complicated just for the sake of it because I like modding, this is about actually improving things in the place of developers who no longer exist.

Giving Alcynoneus 400DA would be logical and coherent, but this is just a detail.
On the other hand, Batrachos is a major concern.

All players, even with RoC / Typhoon / Xmax ...., are almost invincible thanks to these boots, because they multiply your defensive ability by almost 2.5 .
Being invincible works against 1 monster ... but also against 10!

You're telling me there's going to be a war beween the unofficial patch VS the balance patch.
Are you serious?

What's the point ? Why don't we (the community) try to make one single intelligent patch instead ?
Wouldn't it also be in the interest of the unofficial patch to rebalance things correctly ?
"You've got Triumph, RoT, bonus quests .... So NO, an exploit of this kind should be dumped!"

I agree with Nemhauser, 120 or 12% are low values.
But in TQ: IT, used bonuses are often the same; relics, artifacts, MI ......
In addition, 16 objects give +7% to +20% defense ability. And these boots give.... +40% +80% +120%
It is an abus, an exploit .... something that should change even if it penalizes most high-end builds, which are currently basically invulnerable.
