So, I would humbly request either buff to heavy armors or making armor apply after DR again.

I agree with a lot of what was said above, but especially this part. As it stands now, from my perspective, the only reason you would really want to wear heavy armor is if you plan to take Indomitable.

Since so many weapons scale on STR now, I do have to somewhat disagree with battle weight being an issue; I think the battle weight requirements are fine, but as you said, flat damage reduction needs to take place last again.
