That increased survivability is increased survivability. Your argument, taken to the extreme would result in everyone in a battle to just say "whatever" and stab themselves because nothing could protect them from every potential death so they might as well just get it over with.

Sorry, most people's attitudes don't work that way, and I suspect neither do yours. In a conflict situation I am going to take every resonable advantage I can lay my hands on "..to make the other dumb son of a bitch die for his." as Patton supposedly said. C armor is just one more (relatively) simple way to help make that happen.

I hope some sort of C armor makes an appearance in the final story even if it is just Egwene changing Gawyn's shield on the eve of battle with the customary "Oh, I should have thought of this earlier." that we have seen other times.

Functional Cuendillar Armor: Possible or impossible? - 10/02/2012 04:45:34 PM 1485 Views
You posted this exact same question one year ago, with a lot of discussion - 10/02/2012 06:29:28 PM 947 Views
You busted him! I wonder why he would post it again... *NM* - 10/02/2012 07:25:47 PM 501 Views
I suppose I am on a... - 10/02/2012 11:00:47 PM 852 Views
No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 952 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 459 Views
I rest my case. - 10/05/2012 04:34:02 PM 841 Views

Agreed. - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 832 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 497 Views
See? - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 812 Views
Possible, but hard. - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 956 Views
scale or plate armor would be quite easy *NM* - 11/02/2012 01:38:47 PM 427 Views
My thought was always about weapons. - 11/02/2012 06:31:45 AM 1013 Views

Re: My thought was always about weapons. - 14/02/2012 01:53:59 PM 853 Views
Should be perfectly feasible - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 850 Views
Exactly - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 884 Views
Certainly possible, but given the effort most women have to put toward changing even a small item - 12/02/2012 05:10:35 AM 933 Views
Ummm, Warders... - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 778 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 858 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 739 Views
some simple ideas for defeating warders armoured such. - 14/02/2012 09:52:41 PM 875 Views

which way is it? - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 745 Views
Actually I'd call the Seanchan tactically inferior to the White Tower in using the power - 15/02/2012 01:48:55 PM 855 Views
That's really not my point. - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 736 Views
My point is - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 724 Views
Agree on all points *NM* - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 573 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 841 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 786 Views
Not nesecarrily - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 791 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 898 Views
..and you are creating new tactics - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 731 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 750 Views
Not accurate - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 849 Views
You are thinking too far inside the box - 15/02/2012 04:23:28 PM 823 Views
I disagree - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 784 Views
If armor is of no benefit... - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 692 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 800 Views
nope - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 713 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 745 Views
Fair enough. - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 746 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 916 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 732 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 721 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 785 Views
Two things: *NM* - 16/02/2012 04:03:52 PM 463 Views
