18) Character Moving & Attacking Very Slowly
Please check what you are equipping and what each item does. Some items have negative effects. If your character is moving and attacking very slowly then you have the Stone Gauntlets equipped which when you get hit, will slow your move speed and attack speed but you gain armor stack.

Repeated advice about how to work around the detrimental effects…

@Meteorblade-2266

Stone Gauntlets provide a benefit (increased armour) and a penalty (the slowed movement and attack speed). The intention is that you’re expected to utilise other items or abilities to remove the penalty but keep the benefit. For example…

1. Equip or Cube the Ice Climber boots
2. Use an Invigorating Gem at Rank 25 or higher
3. Maintain 100% up-time on your class’s uber-ability, e.g. Wrath of the Berserker on a Barbarian, Akarat’s Champion on a Crusader, and so on.
