I was trying to make some chain armor, but ended up not being able to as the skill required to make the 1st set was too high, as the 1st tier was removed. That wasted a lot of time. But if Chain is an issue, lower the AC of the chain, I am assuming it is higher than leather, make it 1 AC more for each piece, or lower leather AC and make chain start at the old leather AC value. I only assume the chain AC they had in place must have been too high to make it balanced.
I just wanted to see my Cleric in chain to see how it looked. They could even make the chain AC the same as leather, so we could practice and see the graphics.

The armor we have currently is really the first iteration of crafted armor. It's major purpose was to just test out the sysem of schematics, crafting process, etc. and start the process of balancing. We can expect plenty more ups and downs in strength of it, level to access, things like that. I seriously doubt that they will toss out the work that went into making T1 asherium armor. Players were just getting too OP with their access to so much higher tier crafted stuff early on, and pulling T1 chain out was easier than revamping the AC scale on all the tiers. When they get a better estimate of what their balance will be, I expect to go back to T1 being asherium again.
