Hmm I poked at stuff and it looks like there is very little reason to make that armor ever. It's 13 stam 12 FR 433 armor
Marn can make:
Black Dragonscale Armor 8 stam, 12 FR, 50 AP, 344 armor
and
Dragonscale Armor 10 stam, 13 FR, 13 Frost, 12 Shadow, 306 armor, use absorb 600 magical damage.
I can't really think of a fight where a mail user is going to benefit more from the 3-5 extra stam or the extra armor more than the extra resist or absorbtion. The Dragonscale Armor is actually very good vs Gehennas in MC for the extra shadow and FR and the absorb will chew a little bit of a random firebolt or RoF damage. It's not uber being just 1/3 to 1/5 of what a various protection pot will absorb but it's 600 less damage you'll take in one of those random damage fights.
