I think the new armors should be taken into consideration. With the various stacking bonuses it's very likely that we will see a lot of mix and match. I don't see much use of the while enchanted armor (w.e. the name was) but I can see myself combinging the pieces of other sets to create a higher universal AL, while not sacrificing the nrg bonuses of the chant armor too much. I like the stance one. I use stances a lot. Whether it's going to be Mantra of Inscriptions, Mantra of Persistance, or Distortion, etc.
The added armor bonus can help esp. vs elemental attacks which can be annoying. That and tossing in a 5 defense mod (which I find more useful than the HP one btw). Probably I'll do chant on the hands and feet (where other armor bonuses are less important), chest I'll do the stance armor, and noble pants. That's like 70 armor while in stance (I believe 5 of the 10 stance bonus is universal), and 85 armor while in stance and casting.
Having 70-75 universal armor is a huge blessing on a softie.
