The new armor offers far more reliable protection but is a bit worse at parrying, sacrifices offense and autoblocking. The 2 Gear level difference is notable here as well.
The new armor offers considerably better armor but it comes at the cost of accuracy, evasion, a tiny loss of deflection and the loss of the counter-attack benefit.
In both cases, the Plasma resist is a very minor advantage as there's only one threat in the game that uses plasma and it isn't a massive threat.
Proposed Node location, end of Warrior 4 of Paladin's branch. Suggested RP cost: 125.
