I suggested this a while ago as it's the only solution I came up with to make armors more useful without changing the current PvP style. Don't pay attention on exact numbers, as it was just example. Rather look at the idea itself, what you'd think about a system like that?

I remember that thread! There were some good ideas in there:
1) FS scroll damage increase
2) Spell damage penalty for AR difference (curse/weaken/clumsy/feeblemind also effected)

We all know #1 is needed, i suggest an increase even to 40 or 42 damage, raising mana cost of course.
#2 is tested and works, and I personally think it is a great idea.

There is no other way to make armors useful unless you change the way armor works in battle. Changing armor rates and drop rates for ingots isn't going to change anything at all.
You must either give higher armors a stat advantage, some resistance/useful property, or add the spell damage penalty for AR difference.
