Currently there is very little penalty to wearing plate. Sure it has a mana regen penalty and a minor stamina regen penalty but the mana issue is easily countered just by taking off your chest or pants and the stamina issue is less of an issue because it rarely goes below 87% regen.
So my suggestion is make stamina loss as a function of damage.
Getting hit in plate will cause stamina loss, getting hit in laminated will have less stamina loss, getting hit in light armor will have the least stam loss. This will give people in lighter armor a reason to wear it. Instead of just being a easy kill for anyone in plate.
