yeah im not real happy about it, i have 15k other sets, but i bought that one about a week ago and now its pretty much useless since i only bought it for the higher AL.
I dont see how this is equipment balancing as the set has been available since GW first came along, if they wanted to screw it up, they should have done it before factions, or before everyone spent their money on it,

1. Read the update.
2. Check your armor carefully, and verify if your armor is 80 AL, +20 vs. Physical & +10 vs. Elemental.

Insignias = FTW

Now you can get 15k Gladiators Armor with +20 vs. Physical and +10 Vs Elemental instead of just Extra Energy.

They changed it from:
90 +10phys (100al vs phys, 90 vs Ele)

to:
80 +20phys +10ele (100al vs phys, 90 vs ele)

....Whats the problem?

Unfortunately, I don't think you CAN mod Tyrian armor (or Canthan, for that matter) with insignias...

Actually, it is slightly nerfed.

It used to be:
90 +10 phys (100al vs phys, 90 vs Ele, 90 vs other)

While now it is:
80+20phys+10ele (100al vs phys, 90 vs ele, 80 vs other)

Where Other = Dark, Chaos, Light and non-armour-ignoring Holy (as provided by Judge's Insight and some Dervish skills).

Now, most times those latter types probably aren't going to be the main threats, but it is a consideration, and every little bit counts.

PVP armor, yes. Tyrian and Canthan PVE armor, apparently not. Same thing with Inscriptions and non-Elonian PVE weapons.
