This is my result after discussion from this thread:

Remove Pierce from cobalt, but increase normal to offset it. Overall its weaker due to only normal armor against Peirce attacks, but good vs all others a little bit more. Also 5* granting low ctr all. Also give it low resist to all statuses. This makes it unique. But not over powered and its now worth perhaps taking vs wolver if you want to be generalist or true multirole player.

As for plate armors, buff normal a little more, and grant 5* ctr med sword attacks, so it is actually not a worthless armor. This makes it a true heavy hitter armor, due to still having the ASD penalty, with a glimmer of positive, since the current armor increase is not worth the loss of attack speed and no bonus compared to Skolver.

I like the idea of making the Plate mail line a harder hitting line. Would definitely make the slow speed worth it, turning you into a mighty glaciar-esque character.

I've always seen the Azure Guardian as being a resist low damage types for all damage types. As in, it's mostly normal defense, with some lower defenses to make it seem more like a jack of all trades. Or maybe normal defense could defend more against other damage types...

I originally had three ideas starting out.

Plate armor, so I could really take the familiar role of a slow, lumbering unstoppable beast.
Bombing suit, because, who doesn't want to make explosions?
Wolver armor, because I could have an awesome coat, and up my damage with swords.

I quickly went swords only because... well, Bombs weren't worth it, and why soak damage when you can dodge the damage, and kill everything in 2-4 hits?

I strongly feel, that both, the discussion you had in the quoted thread and these suggestions here should be worth a lot of merit. The armor sets really need a lot of re-balancing. (I can say this after paying $6 to see nothing but wolver in LD AND the 'works.) I really hope this gets looked at and included.

Anyone else have any input? I'd like to hear some more ideas.

EDIT: I notice that another plate/cobalt thread went up. Let's here it for cobalt and plate awareness!
