That, and also look at the stamina difference really.... For example if there is a 10 stamina difference between [Crown of Anasterian] and [Duplicitous Guise] that means that 6 or 7 budget points could have been spend on something like strength, which would have, for warriors, put that item over the leather piece no contest. I think thats also another problem, in addition to machinator's claim, and also the claim before it why leather items (even with agility) can possibly surpass a plate one in terms of Raw Damage.

I personally hate that leather is better thing also, what the fuck. So that means if I want to spend my points on leather instead of plate, I cant (when im not in a raid) go out and be a near zero downtime farming machine like I am used to because my armor mitigation would be 35% instead of 50%.. I would have to stop to med up 30% more because I wanted to do more raid DPS...
