Well, they nerfed the -3 Damage reduction. Sure, it reduces damage, but only for Physical damage and if it hits the boots : \ Bummer, huh?
Well, the armor depends on your skills. If you're Triple Choppin' and Cyclone Axing alot -- Or just using lots of energy in general, go with Glads. If you're spamming more adrenaline based attacks, Dreadnaught Armor (aka. Wyvern, Platemail) is good. And Stonefist Gauntlets in either case is a nice choice for the knockdown.
Those're my 2 cents. Hope they help, mate!
