Once your Iss could wear a light armor, the heavy one or the robe. Everyone changed your status. Now the Superior Armor Mastery skills focus only on p.def. For example:
Iss Sword Muse lv 85.
*Superior Robe Mastery
Max HP + 4636, P. Def. + 969 when equipped with a Robe.
*Superior Light Armor Mastery
Max HP + 4636, P. Def. + 1355 when equipped with Light Armor.
*Superior Heavy Armor Mastery
Max HP + 4636, P. Def. + 1558 when equipped with Heavy Armor.
Now, why should I wear a Light Armor or a Robe?
And why did they change them? Once wearing the light armor you had a MP recovery bonus. If not wrong, even the Robe gave you something different. IMHO, these changes contribute to ruin a class.
Keep in mind that although you CAN wear light or robe, you r not obligated to. And no, before this update light/robe didnt add nothing worthy to keep them up on Iss (specially when a +6 heavy set would be more worthy in terms of mp recovery and pdef).
Yet a +6 robe set and a +8 light set have their rooms in a main class Iss playstyle, you only have to figure out when and how to use them properly.
i recall there being an MP regen function of wearing Light armor when Goddess of Destruction first came into being. i don't remember if it is related to the Mastery though.
Light armors give mp consumption decrease, its part of set bonus. That could be a reason to use light armor. But so far I have not seen any need to. My iss wears +6 heavy and has no problem with mp. And thats with doing chaos symphony pretty much on cooldown.

I am not talking about armors and enchantments or how enchanted armor do affect your status. I am talking about passive skills.
You can wear robe/heavy/light zero grade, and they work the same!
Also, The Superior Light Armor Mastery passive skill once gave your Iss a MP recovery bonus with 25%.
Anyway, now passive skills have been changed again.

Yes, you are right, it was 25% mp recovery bonus. You could read it on the superior light armor mastery passive skill.
