Armor mods are useless for low-armor frames (anything under 200) and high armor frames (600+), the only frames who need it are 250~500 armor frames (once you hit valkyr's 700+ you're getting as much as armor is worth). Low armor frames have to give up a 3 slots just to get 50% reduction, and frames with over 700 armor gain such little reduction it's not worth it. That's why DE has to make abilities based on armor stat, because they'd rather force mandatory gameplay choices rather than revamp the armor/entire health system (which they need to anyway. Pretty much any non-valkyr/non-rhino dies instantly at high levels unless you're invisible, high shield frames are worthless without some kind of shield-armor)
