thats simply because scales are more well rounded so they have less physical and more magical and physical hits happen most often so in in the higher levels chains and plates do better overall.
So true bud, yet, the amount of physical damage monsters when exploring that I have noticed while ONLY solo'ing using either armor, I have found that the level 25 Chain Mail was more efficient even after level 40 to level 60 or even to 73/75. The added 7 Strength from the Scale was irrelevant, now the extra 24% Heal Mastery does help, but since my base Intelligence is 30, it does not help as much, HOWEVER, if it was 24 Intelligence, that would have been more useful.
I guess it is perspective. Depends on the abilities I choose vs my armor, for example... I don't use Enhanced Effect armor, so I will not choose abilities like Two Hit Back, Revenge, Double Strike or Salvation when using High Enhanced Effect armor, thus I would choose Power-strike, Multi-strike etc abilities ... Note: this ONLY applies if I was NOT using heavy weapons.
Again... perspective and interpretation with the gear a person is playing the game. Thus, my post is relevant with Heavy Weapons, abilities that are chosen to charge up faster while using a 1.8 sec heavy weapon versus abilities using a 1 sec delay normal weapon.
