Missleading in what way?

Not really sure what he meant either ^^: Defensively speaking cuirass beats hauby due not only greater def but also by the damage cut effect. Even tho damage cut effect goes down as the armor start wearing out, only the HP bonus from cuirass is already enough for it to be used IMO. Hauby is even to cuirass for GLA only since STR increase damage cut from blocked attacks...but even as GLA i still prefer just sticking with cuirass set (because its also very beautiful on my miqo'te =P Can't wait to see a cuirass with shoulderguards!).

But as people say here..."taste is like ass...everyone has their own.". Its up to the player to decide which one to use...if the player has allotment already directed to VIT then hauby might be more appealing to him than cuirass due STR bonus...if the player has an allotment like mine (balanced with STR spike) then cuirass is much more interesting than hauby for tanking purposes.
