    Probably a sideeffect of having the armor skills functionality dependant on a 5-piece.

    Well, the passives and traits, and even set bonuses (I think) werent working when your armor was broken for a very long time.
    In cwc they simply changed armor skills so they require wearing at least 5 pieces of armor, so even though you could cast them with broken armor before the patch, now you cant.
    I dont see how's that "not intended". Whats the point in wearing broken armor anyway, youre not getting any resistance, and all passives are disabled.

    Set Bonuses still work when broken...

    Shoudln't we just check our armour/charges before a boss if we know we've died a lot? I mean I am all for easier less stressful gameplay, but this is really getting towards the point of "why even have armour damage".

    Also I thought this was always the case, things you learn.

    You ran the new trial? I learned it the hard way in my first vAS clear. The fight lasted 35 minutes. After 25 minutes my armor was broken...

    I wonder if this line of inquiry will lead to the set bonus being removed when one of the 5 is broken.

    That's how they should work anyway.
