why can't i use light armor skills?

I have only cloths on and a sword, I've tried removing everything... Still can't use the skill I bought for 100g..

Any ideas?

 

You sure it's an active skill and not an innate? Which skill is it?

 

If it is an active skill, did you press Y, select the Active Deck, Modify, then drag the new glyph from the left side to the right side, then from the right side to your combat bar?

 

I suspect he's referring to one of the Innates...

 

That's what I was thinking. Trying to visualize the light armor tree in my head lol.

 

@mike11 did you also select all your "Current equipment" for this deck?

 

HI yall. Actually I was talking about Dodge.

I appreciate your help in solving this issue for me..

 

Skills work based on the chest piece you are wearing I think.. you aren't wearing anything on your chest.
(that's a bra, not a shirt!)

 

You need to be wearing leather armor or cloth armor - those are what are classed as "light" - you can actually see the problem highlighted in red at the bottom of the skill tooltip "Required Equipment: Light Armor"

 

Bra should be considered light armor lol.

Some of them are pretty padded!

 

It's true that light armor skills only work when you are wearing a chest piece that classifies as light armor. The same is true of heavy armor. You can put on a chestplate and run around otherwise in your underpants, and it will still register you as wearing heavy armor for skills.

 

thx

 

Obviously, you need the armor-stretcher
