For the past month or so, I've been using effectiveness-sliced cold-layered composite against Nightsisters with my swordsman, and I've had no instances of armor holes popping up.
This sounds very familiar...Hehe.

What's when you wear annother armor part together with this 4 needed pieces? Will it still work when i wear the pants too (i wouldn't go out without... hate to be instant-incapped by pikemen).
It seems that if a pikeman tried to hit your legs, the hit is diverted to the boots if no armor is present on the legs. Thus you should be still protected.
And when i wear only 4 pieces.. is the chance higher, that my enemys will hit the mind pool? I mean, normaly helmet is 1/9 parts, but now it will be 1/4 parts..
The original hit still tries to hit the normal locations, but for some reason if for example your legs are exposed, it will take the damage to the boots. This will mean that the boots take twice as much damage as normal. Same goes with arms and gloves. The head is not hit any more often, when using a 4 piece suit it becomes the least hit area but some margin
