Armor Fixes

Gear update time, it is time for another massive shift!
(and correcting wrong information that I've seen batted around.)
First off since I saw this bandied about: we did not treat the slashing/piercing/etc. as just omni-physical DR before. As clunky as it looks we did tend to consult and such! However...
We're also tired of having to doublecheck with what the ability in question tends to fall under (since monster abilities were the most troublesome) so we're doing this instead.
Armor Changes:
Chain Mail: Loses the DR.
Mythril: Loses the DR.
Plate Mail: Loses the DR.
Gold Armor: Loses the DR.
Platina Armor: Loses the DR.
Diamond Armor: 5% Physical DR
Carabini Mail: 5% Magical DR
Crystal Mail: 5% Physical DR
Assault Cuirass: 5% Physical DR
Defensive Plate: 10% Physical DR (yep, remains the same)
Mythos Armor: 10% Magical DR
Aura Plate: 5% Magical DR, 5% Physical DR
These will be edited in at some point. I'll set up a refund thread if for some reason this means you want to abandon your armor forever. Same rules as previous refund threads, you must have purchased the item yourself with your own funds to qualify for the reimbursement. Otherwise just hawk it for half the price.
In addition, the following items are losing their DR completely:
Crystal Helmet
Crystal Shield
Crafters, stay tuned. We're going to be fiddling with stuff some tomorrow (later today technically).
