Should active armor abilities be limited to those with that armor equipped?

I say 5 pieces minimum to use the ability.

This. Just like how passives that require a full "set" actually say they require 5 pieces. (And this *really* should have been an option in the poll. Presumably instead of the 3 piece option. (which IMO is silly, and seems like most people voting that really also think 5 is the right number)

Yes, you should have to have at least three pieces equipped, so you can't have the active ability of one armor and the 5+ pieces passive of another.

It would appear a lot of people think that's the best option. Unfortunately, I'm not omniscient and it didn't occur to me. I left the other option to make sure all bases were covered.

I actually would have preferred to answer option 4, "No, but its effectiveness or duration should scale per piece equipped, greatly reducing effectiveness for those who wear few pieces," only I would have changed the first two words to "Yes, and."
