Cast vs. Channel

...and the padding is the only thing that helps on the maneuvers, not the armor type.

If I read this correctly, it isn't quite accurate. Each armor group has a different crit divisor that is almost always better the higher the armor type.

I have never heard that the critical divisor in armor makes a difference in maneuvers.

I've been fucked up just as hard in plate as I have in robes.

Did you read the quote you quoted?

Channeling 302 really isn't worth it, too much risk for maybe 10-15 extra damage.
In the rift, I one hand open guarded channel 317 and especially with 240 up I just wtfpwn everything, although I am in COL and have to hit the reserve tanks frequently.

In 4x torso chain and 4x runestaff the only thing that kills me is tangleweed.

If you can't survive a 3 second hard RT in the Rift/OTF, it's not channeling that's too much risk.
