Also, Ronshol, how about we test this sometime? Someone get a snapshot server setup, and the 3 of us all log on and have some fights, like 100 where someone with iron armor and an iron sword fights someone with chain with a chain sword, and see if the iron armor person wins 99 of the fights. I guarantee they will not.
