it is not the 3rd best armor, you are not even factoring in guild and rank bonus which the northerner's only gets 1x of as in a dual element gets bonuses on both elements so 2x. Then you also have to look at how many armors counter it, water is easily countered due to the mass amount of wind epics such as beastmaster, aegis, and maelstrom which are 3 very very common epics. So if you wanted to say northerner's is the 2nd best Mono armor I would say you are probably right. But as far as epic armors overall I would have to say it is probably the 3rd or 4th worst epic. 1st would be moontide obviously 2nd blazebourne 3rd either tectonic or northerners. One of the hardest epics to counter still is beastmaster, since there is no earth fire epic as of yet. Highest stats obviously the new sandstorm, and that armor is completely destroyed by a previous epic Druidic platemail.
