Armor cap doesn't include wards?

I've recently began farming destroyer cores in HM with the help of "I am Unstoppable!" and Ebon Battle Standard of courage. Both of these skills provide a +24 boost in armor allowing for a total of +48.

Now I never realized this until just recently but this seems to ignore the armor cap. I've tried the farm using just one of the 2 skills and spirit rift annihilates me when I don't have both up thus leading me to believe they are indeed stacking for a +48 increase in armor.

So is it that wards don't count towards the armor cap or is it something special with pve skils?

thats a great question, unfortunately i have no answer for it (il check back in and see what other people put, i'm interested too )

yeah balances aren't made for pve but for pvp meaning that +XX armor warriors or whatever prof were dangerous in GvG or HA so that's why they lowered it down. It really doesn't have to do much with pve except for the tankers and yeah pve skills are special

I'd say this is a bug, something like IAU adding base armor by accident. Although because it uses pve skills, it really isnt that big a deal.

Nice job noticing it though.
