I havent seen much mention of this on here, or perhaps i missed it but it seems that all the elite suits are defense based as opposed to armor..is there any chance we might see an elite armor suit coming up?

It seems to depend on the class. Mutant gear did seem to switch from armor heavy to defense heavy in the mid-100's. I had a thread way back when on armor in Elite sets - they seem to have done it for soldiers....

well to be fair, high armor only works against high damage, since if they get past ur def ur always getting hit for some damage. at least with high def if they cant get past ur def u cant be hit for damage, and so u have to heal less with high def than u do with high armor. but yeah, if u want to elite, champion or hk hunt, high armor would probably come in handy since those monsters usually have higher damage and/or attack stats

its just the fact that on fs they have elite sets that are defense and some that are armor, so why not have the same on here too

Flexibility is key! As much as I wouldn't like to see armor intense elite sets, I do think the normal non-set pieces like the weapon and addons should offer armor and even defense. Currently addons are mostly attack, damage with a few having HP. A very few do offer armor but are among 3 or 4 other stats so their effect to add armor is diminished, even FFed. Weapons offer only damage and attack with less then a handful that have HP or defense and none, to my knowledge, that have armor.

A Mutant right now and in full agreement with Moonfrost.

If anything the Mutant tree's defensive skills focus on increasing Armor, resistances and reducing damage from weapon classes..It would be a great motivation to put points in class skills if we could use them with Elite sets and not with Core gear mostly.
