What do I mean? As long as a mage wearing a plate will get a penalty to maga regen and slower cast speed/run speed (a penalty) and only basic defence boost (in comparison to classes that are "born" with plate armor wearing ability) it's ok I guess as the benefits of the stigma would be balanced by the drawbacks (slow and slowly casting mage who's got a very high survivability due to high p.def).
In other words - I do belive that there's going to be something extra a class gets from the fact it gets "passive" skill or skills that allows it to use a given armor type and this "extra" will not be granted by the Stigma, thus NOT creating a monstrosity like a mage with heavy armor defences, robe-like cast speed and run speed etc.

QFT and seconded.
