While I am not home to conduct tests, I am compiling a list of unconfirmed and confirmed instances that The Ram exotic warlock piece will allow you to survive. The Ram not only gives you Life Steal, [i]it increases armor.[/i] [b][i]I am asking for the community to confirm the following and possibly add to the list[/i]. [/b] [b]Confirmed to survive:[/b] 1.) Two critical shots from Thorn(The perk "angry magic" is [u]not[/u] needed for this.) [i]Source[/i]: http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3737ez/sga_if_you_hate_thorn_use_the_ram/ 2.) Shoulder Charge [i]Source[/i]: Several user experiences, including myself(Angry magic perk [u]not[/u] needed) 3.) Praedyth's Revenge archetype and snipers of equivalent or faster RoF, such as Prudence II require [u]three body shots for a kill[/u]. Credit goes to Mink622. [i]Source[/i]: http://xboxclips.com/Mink622/48bca2ab-48ec-4cc1-91f6-f8f31034fb75 4.) Stacks with Radiant Skin(Sunsinger class). Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/373yto/why_you_need_to_use_the_ram_in_pvp/ 5.) You can survive a headshot from the subtle nudge sniper. Credit goes to Loonigus. 6.) Final Round from LDR archetype of below. You cannot survive the FR spear and snipers with similar archetype. Angry magic perk needed? -require confirmation. [b]Unconfirmed to survive[/b] -Razor's Edge(BladeDancer arcblade R2 ability) -Sunsinger Radiance Melee [b][i]While using Ram I was downed by the radiance melee. This is only one case. Additional testing is required. [/i][/b] -Hunter Trip Mine(Direct Stick) [i][b]Needs further testing.[/b][/i] -Hunter Flux grenade [b][i]Several people have said you live through this one. Needs further testing. [/i][/b] -Titan Magnetic Grenade [b][i]Several have said you can survive the first explosion, but not the second. Needs further testing. [/i][/b] [b][u]BUSTED[/u][/b] 1.) One ArcBlade melee(BladeDancer Super) [i]It appears that you [b]cannot[/b] survive this with The Ram. You are able to survive one hit if you have flame shield active but this often will not save your life. [/i] 2.) [i]Warlock fusion grenade still takes down Ram users.[/i] Credit goes to Loonigus. [i]Source[/i]: I used bladeDancer against a maxed armor Sunsinger in two instances--one with flame shield and one without. ——————————————————————— Again, I am asking for confirmation, supplemented with evidence. [b]The armor value for the Ram seems to be 218-226(credit to mink for that value), which is [i]insane[/i].[/b] I'll be conducting tests when I am able, but I am asking the community to help with this. Thank you! [b]Edit[/b]: Regardless of what is posted above, I do not feel that this is over powered after using it. This armor piece will not make you better--it simply helps you survive a few times per match. You will [u]not[/u] see a significant difference in your skill upon using The Ram.
