    Because the giant hole in the armor around the gut makes so much sense. DRG I know hates the AF chest for that very reason.

    Feels silly but it is not.
    When there is an obvious "weak spot" in an armor, attackers who think they are "smart" will aim for it.
    - Since the wearer is well aware of the weak spot, he/she will pay more attention to it.
    - There is a reason why the "hole" is in the tummy area. This is the easiest location to see an attack coming in and to parry/block it.

    Probably not coincidental that the Dragoon has +parry skills to go along with it.
