Dreadnaughts armour

90 + 10 vs physical

Platemail, Dragon, Wyvern armour

85 + 10 vs physical

Someone care to explain to me how thats remotely balanced?

Hopefully this means they're going to boost platemail or they missed this one.

do the bottom three have energy bonuses of some kind? or any other bonus that the dreadnaughts doesn't have?

I would say it's great news and most certainly should mean a buff of Plate/Wyvern armor.

In another post, I mentioned that they should could consider changing the wording (stats are the same) to this:

80 Armor
+20 Vs. Physical
+10 Vs. Elemental

That is very consistent with the new armors and it reads better for comparison purposes. Basically, Dreadnaught's/Plate/Wyvern should have the same 80/20 base as everything else but you get +10 vs Elemental instead of +35 HP, +10 in Stance, or energy bonuses. Hopefully, they fix Kinght's armor too.

No the bottom 3 are chapter one armour 'equivs', and have nothing that Dreads doesn't have
