Armor vs Alpha-2 Roadmap

At what phase of A2 is armor and it’s various impacts on combat and gameplay expected to appear, as armor is not mentioned in the A2 roadmap?

In particular, there are at least two competing paradigms concerning armor:
* First is the RPS thing (rock-paper-scissors): Light and heavy armor types favoring magic and physical damage, respectively, with medium falling somewhere in the middle;
* Second is the impact of armor weight on Universal Skills, like block, dodge and sprint, plus similar effects in general;
* Next comes uniformity bonuses, as yet unspecified, from equipping all pieces of same weight;
* Finally, anything impactful flying under the radar.

Can we expect a first pass at a complete picture in A2 phase 1? Phase 2?

Personally I’m curious how the main paradigms will find harmony.
I’m hoping the exclusion of “armor types vs gameplay” from the roadmap was just an oversight and we might get some information.
