Edit: TLDR, just seems like a very slightly worse woven mail with extra steps Based on what I’m reading, these changes are an overall nerf to stasis’ DR. 36% at max stacks with the fragment vs just standing near a crystal to get 40%. The only thing that will save frost armor is the ability to get stacks being plentiful, but even then, having to build up stacks instead of just getting it is annoying af. The shiny new cooldown on making shards is also a lovely -blam!- ing slap in the face.
