I took Ranger Knight as a dexterity based ranger and found that it aloud me to wear the simple helmet (protects from criticals). Being able to wear a heavy helmets alone is worth a lot especially since there will be better ones down the line. I also imagine they might introduce gauntlets, shields or boots that would have this requirement as well. Apart from that I have seen no strength restrictions on the heavy armor I have found in EA.
In DND there is no such thing as "Heavy Helmet". Helmets don't have armor proficiency requirements. Can you confirm that you're only able to wear the helmet because of proficiency? Can you also tell me what heavy armor you've found?
