...Would a Knight be, if they had the full Ancient Plate Set(Excluding Shield) & both of those AP pieces had an Increased Normal Defence: Maximum! on them?
Hmm...So how Strong...

deep monsters do non-normal damage
Keep in mind that deep in the Clockworks (Strata 5 and 6 especially) monsters do more of their preferred damage type (piercing, elemental, shadow) and less of normal damage. So normal armor is not the best, for the part of the dungeon that might actually strain you. :(
You would just get ripped up by elemental damage, or piercing damage, or shadow damage...
The +16 health bonus would help you stand a little longer then the +10 health bonus of other plate armor... but seriously nobody wears that armor for anything but costume. Its already got huge normal protection anyway, max normal would not rally make it significantly better.
