What do Armor Rating, Speed, and Stamina Regen stats on armor mean exactly? I've spent an inordinate amount of time attempting to translate these values into something meaningful. I have come up with very little in translating these stats into my testing data. However, I have come to understand how durable the armor types are, what the passives provide, how fast and how far they each can sprint, how quickly they recover stamina, and, most importantly, when compared, how they stack up.
