A "Granite Armor" of sorts could have insane HP boosts and Always: Slow, of course, the Maximillian already gives insane amounts of HP so I don't know how it fits...
I liked the Carabini had elemental resistance, for me at least, it always struck me as a fire resistant piece of equipment, also, an armor that gives MA could work, even though Knights can use Wizard Robe, maybe an armor that gives +1 MA instead of the +2 that WR gives, but with much better HP bonus, that way Knights with magic second could benefit, and also Samurai, I like how Genji Set gives PA...
I understand Armor shouldn't give bonuses, but come on, this is fantasy world, just like the Reflect Mail, an armor made with Magic could work, the armor that had less luv could get elemental resistance, like Plate Mail, almost always gets out shadowed by the Gold Armor because they come relativaly at the same time, I don't recall very much, but I think there are some equipments that suffer the same way, maybe give the underdogs something?
The problem with status protection is... well, half accesories are about that, but Eva from Mantles is better, 108 Gems gives Elemental Boosts, and MA and PA are just waaaay better(and cooler =P) than my Defense Armlet that protects me from Don't Move/Act, I mean suuure, they have their uses, but most of the time I rather have an extra edge on my stats, and cure the status ailments that don't strike that often.
The Maximilian could have Start: Stop, and more Hp, I am just shooting at the dark right now, on the other hand, an armor with Always: Faith seems good, Mages can't use it unless they sacrifice Support for Equip Armor, and the units that can use it don't get that much MA, and are prey for quick Nukes from Summon and Black magic, I see a Knight with Yin Yang benefiting from an armor like this, but on a second thought, it may be more trouble than it's worth...
I guess Metroid got it right, Armor is not "bad", it's just dull... well, what you gonna do right? I like the Power Sleeve nerf, I would like something like that with the armors, now, the Judo Outfit it's still a viable choice, it gives almos twice the HP Power Sleeve gives, and also cancels dead, but it gives one PA less, forcing you to make a choice between HP or raw power, anyways I am really looking forward to the new update, not wearing robe with my Paladin(Knight with White Magic second, kindda thematic build from the times of AD&D =P) is really hurting his MP pool u.u
