Ok, i've been told that conquest armor was nerfed because the point value on eq balance for items with both +dam and +hp bits were set high. Truth is, these pieces were hardly worth questing BEFORE the changes, now they're just plain silly. Considering at least one sub-quest is required for one of them, and the items in general aren't easy to get, and the fact it has an !alignment flag these items should at LEAST be restored to their old stats OR changed to:
Helm
ac10 +2 dam +10 hp
Armor
ac20 +3 dam +10hp
These both reflect something closer to their original stats. and given that a few of the items required for the quest actually got an UPGRADE, it's more than appropriate.
As it is now, one of the items used in the quest actually has better stats (+2 dam +20 hp) than the armor itself!
Compared to other body armor, not naming names, but all are considerably easier to get and don't require a big quest or more than 1 rare:
ac20 +2 dam +9 dex pfg
ac20 +2 dam +9 agi pff (perhaps even higher on the ac)
ac15 +1 hit +2 dam
or even spob armor
I've seen quite a few other opinions on this matter, i'm definately not the only one that feels this way!

its funny that chlora armor is better than conquest armor. I thought I understood the formula, but I guess not. Its 1 dragon.

Would definitely say this is one of the larger imbalances. Not quite sure what's so great about a +dam/+hp combo in particular, but I think reconsideration of the value of dam/hp should be looked at. Scorps razor is another instance of this.
Ssome of the items you need just to quest this are more valuable than the end result! As mentioned above, consider the difference between conquest and chlora armor, which is absurdly easy to obtain in comparison.

What were the original stats on conquest stuff? I only now reduced/nerfed version.
The sad thing is, I was one item away from finishing this. Now I just won't bother. Maybe i'll trade in one of those piles of chlora scales I have lying around. Hell, or just keep the TF plate for the hitroll..:P
Fix conquest armor/helm. They need upgrades from what they were, not downgrades.
