Keep light armor or have a piece of medium and heavy with it for undaunted passives

Seems to me, that with the new hp, mana and stamina values, the second undaunted passive will be so strong so that light armor users will be forced to wear a piece of heavy and medium armor with it.
Same issue for former emp passives.

What will you do with this Zenimax?
May knowledge guide you to enlightenment

    I wouldn't use medium armor since weapon damage is now useless for magicka users, but a heavy chest seems like the best choice for everyone now.
    I don't really like this change ...

    As it stands, wearing 7/7 light is going to be a major liability to your survivability. As a healer I'll probably end up wearing at least 2 pieces of heavy or 1 heavy and 1 medium.

    On the PTS full light armor is even squishier than medium is on live.

    I've been rolling with 5 light / 2 heavy (chest & legs) and it's been working out pretty well. I tried with 7 light and, while I had a little bit better magicka regen, I was ultra squishy vs. stamina builds. I've tossed around the idea of going 5 heavy / 2 light (Seducer + Magnus) but I'd have to run it through the test cycle to see if it would be worth it.

    @Fatalyis , Seducer/Magnus still decent combo.

    OP, Regarding the Undaunted passive, 2%-6% is relatively small, not sure it's worth 2 skillpoints for an extra 1200-1800 of anything (120-180 live equivalent).
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Mixing armor is a bad idea, with or without the increase to the undaunted passive. 7 heavy is ~24% mitigation. 2 heavy is ~6.8% but youd be getting 1.7% from 2 light otherwise, so youre actually only getting 5% from 2 heavy. That's not worth the lost bonus from passives imo.
