Blind man! he just told you! If he is surviving longer that means that the armor is clearly doing a better job than platemail armor, and surviving longer under heat of fire does make you better. And how are you saying there is no proof when you are saying that the proof is on other forums where people are saying platemail is better. Somehow nothing seems to penetrate your thick skull, obviously if they care about surviving longer, they will do better in PvP because they are trying to survive longer. You were not saying which armor is better, you were saying which armor you think is better. Also, plenty of people use axes and it doesn't matter that a lot of them are made pvp in the beggining, because they're pvping with axes. Just look at Four Two Zero, he's a great axe warrior, and he probably does well in PvP too. As for what you think you'll be hit by in PvP, look again- there are tons of people who play mesmers, rangers, necros, and even smiting monks who will all dish out damage to you in large or multiple small quantities. And, since you weren't aware of it, if you make a PvP only character, you can't get platemail, but you can get Knight's armor, meaning a good amount of people are using Knight's armor.
