The armor system is a mistake. Larian missed the point why players using CC and debuff in the first place.

If players can kill certain monsters easily, then there is no need to use any debuff of CC skills. CC and debuff are used as an alternative to weaken the enemies when it is impossible to eliminate the threat as fast as possible. By tying the ability of debuff and CC with the ability of doing damage, there is no choices in tactics and character builds, high damage output trumps everything.

Armor needs to go away and replaced by something better. A system where the ability of CC and debuff is not dictated by damage output
