How armor works:
This mislead me for some time. Origionaly I thought that you simply added all the armor your character has (60 head, 60 chest, 60 arms, etc.) which is what I'm assuming you believe. This is not true.
When you are hit by an attack, that attack strikes you in 1 of 5 places (head, chest, arms, legs, feet) Depending on where you are hit, the game will take that piece of armor and calculate the damage you will take from the attack that hit you. Enchantments and stances effect you no matter where you are hit. This is why you will have 70 +10(stance or enchant) +24(conviction) = 104.
