Alright I had a complete set of platemail armor, but am being told that even though the knight's armor is 5AL less, it protects better because of the absorbtion. I would like a comparison to see which is genuinly better. You see I used superior absorbtion runes on my plate cuirass and plate leggings, and other runes on the rest. If the knight's armor is as good as that, then I have those two locations free for other runes, such as superior vigor. Is the knight's armor better versus magic or something? That's where I am weakest, to an insane level.
Plate Set:
Helm - STR +1, Tactics +2, Health - 50
Cuirass - Major Absorbtion
Leggings - Major Absorbtion
Boots - Major Vigor
Gauntlets - Swordsmanship + 2, Health - 50
So would switching to knight's armor help me against magic or would I just be 5AL weaker?
Knight vs Plate?

those 2 Major Absorbtion won't stack - so you're only getting the benefit of one of them...most people would switch a piece of plate out with Knight as the absorption from Knight is all-encompassing...
