First, I want to preface this by saying that I am *so thankful* that we have new armor. The old look was getting unbearable to me.

But in regards to efficacy...

I'm not sure what I think about this yet. I'm definitely curious what most of you think about this.

Is the reeling condition very useful?

I'm wondering, if I have a set of +1 Scale and I trade it in for a set of Adamantine Scale... I'm not sure I'm gaining anything; in fact, I'm worried I might actually be losing out. The +1 Scale increases my AC by 1. The Adamantine armor will lower my attackers to hit chance by 1 (effectively the same as raising my AC by one), but only in regards to that attacker and only after I've already been successfully hit.

Am I not better off in my normal +1 Scale?

Unless... the reeling condition stacks. I haven't noticed; does anyone know?

If you get hit while wearing Adamantine Scale and the Adamantine helm... does that equate to a -2 to hit? If so, then I can start to see the value.
