I'm sorry if this comes off as mean but did you read the entire post? I'm going to go through each line of your post and give a reply to it.

We are in agreement that the current classes are weak. Thats why I proposed specs to lead classes down a path that will make them stronger and excel at certain tasks.

Again you did not read my post. The base classes will no have Artifact Armor. That is reserved for Advanced Classes / Specs; so yes you will be able to wear PLD only armor as PLD spec.

I clearly gave a valid example of how they could do that.

It's ok to disagree but please read and understand before you take a stance. What you just did is detrimental to the process.
