Your thoughts on Fenris set?
I think that fenris set is kinda weak and is not worth the effort to craft it. I really like the set, but it's just too weak and maybe deserves a buff. Base defense points of a full set are 30, at the second level 36 and at the third 42, which is only 6 points more, than bronze armor. Considering that you have to spend multiple hours (in my experience about 5 - 8) looking for caves and gathering fenris hairs and the trophy, it's just not worth it. A small buff to defense or speed will be good, for example the fenris blessing (full set of fenris armor equipped) would give you an additional 5% speed buff, or an additional 6-8 defense points would be good aswell (ONLY while full set is equipped, because if not it would buff the best armor combo (Padded/Carapace helmet, Root harnesk and the Fenris leggings) even more). What are your thoughts?

Seems like I'm the only one, who missed a parry and died. Skill issue ig
I've missed a few and continue too. Timing against mountain golems is especially tricky, it staggers them but does not stunlock them, one has to be patient enough not to attack until after the second block/parry. The toughest are still those 2 star fulings & berserkers, who can hit through a perfectly timed b/p. The Fenris set is the only set one can roll through their strike and get behind them. Anyone having problems with stamina management can definitely use the Fenris set.
Thanks for the comic interlude FissionChips, I haven't thought about Leroy for quite some time now. It still brings a chuckle ...

Is a good set. As complaintdesk says, if you want a very mobile build where you don't have to worry about confrontation bogging you down, you can run rings around enemies and attack when most opportune

In melee armor sets, the most important thing is how well that armor protects
And that is achieved best by moving out of way of incoming attacks or parrying them, not absorbing blows. Armor value is the last line of defence; even health is more important since it increases stagger gauge capacity.
The movement speed provided by Fenris set also decreases cost of movement actions since their stamina cost is affected by movement speed penalty.
It's not a "melee" set either, you can use any weapon you want.

By melle I meant that you can get the most benefit out of the fenris set in melle fights. If you use root armor or eitr-weave armor you will be using bows or magic weapons accordingly.
The Armor value is the last line of defence only when you miss the parry/dodge (which sometimes happens to anyone), and
the more armor points you have - the less dmg you will take
less dmg taken - less stagger.

Honestly, I just made the pants, and use them with my padded chest and helmet. The +3% speed increase instead of a -5% decrease for teh padded legs brings your running speed almost back up to unarmored, and that's a noticable improvement. I find it to be much more beneficial than that extra 16 armor I'm losing. Even into the mistlands, it's a close choice. I rather wish I had made the chest piece instead, to get that frost resist and speed boost for corpse runs.

Fully upgraded Fenris is amazing. You just zoom around everything. Even fast enemies like wolves and deathsquitos can't keep up with you.
Heavy armor is a trap with the way the game is balanced (shield > resists > armor). You only need enough armor to not get staggered through a shield block.

The Fenris set is poifect as is. I have been using it for months now and love it. The speed bonus allows one to explore a land mass in minutes without worrying about stamina. It is also great for farming tar. The speed allows you to avoid being hit by the spew from growths, and the fire resist seems to really help if one does get hit by their tar. With the Fenris set I can clear a Fuling garrison without dying if I accidently pull the whole camp. It is also a great set for traversing the terrain and avoiding enemies in Mistlands, if one doesn't have the Feather Cape yet.

It's mountain tier light armor with amazing speed bonus and decent blessing, it doesn't need more armor value.

In melee armor sets, the most important thing is how well that armor protects, and wolf armor is simply better. Therefore there are basically no uses for the set, other than using it while you are in biomes, that already aren't dangerous for you, for example when you are building smth in meadows.

there are a couple things in this game that are meant to be a real accomplishment just finishing them. Fenris set is one of those. I feel like the Iron Sledge is another (SO much Ymir flesh). the advantages of fenris are already there so it doesn't need any buffs.

I get your point, but IMO gathering money for the ymir flesh is much easier than gathering the cultist trophy, and if you are still in the iron age the iron sledge is very useful for clearing out crypts rooms with spawners in them.

The Armour Points are very low. But it has excellent Bonus Stats.
Imho we should given the Chance to Level it up. Maybe with some Silver, Linen thread and Carapace. So this Set could Level Up into Mistland.
With all its Benefits, the AR should Balance slightly unter the Carapace Level 4 Armour. Maybe Carapace Armour Level at its own Max.
For the earlier Use i suggest we could level up the Fenris with other Materials to push its AR. Otherwise it fine.
