The armor damage/drop was a major pain and disruption to game play. As mentioned in other posts, it's challenging enough to keep your kill from getting stolen, calculating your energy so you can finish a kill, and managing your HP.
The untimely disappearance of your armor! How do the guys on a phone app cope!?
Although I voted the 100% option, there should be modifications even so. I am about to embark on the 800 quest/Amazon boss run for the first time and would be devastated to lose armor in the midst of that 10 minute span. So during battle the armor/weapon should be "locked in" until the end, therefore assuring a continuance which coincides with fair play.
