If you wear boots and no pants your protected. Boots + helmet + gloves + chest plate = full protection aka 4 piece suit
Try wearing a 4-piece suit in the DWB... we have seen what happens when you do that. 4-piece suits might be ok for lower/medium level NPC's and such.... But vs high level NPC's it's a no go.
After just a few trips, our tanks refuse to go to the DWB without a full suit.
PVP is one of the places where a 4-piece suit is used a lot, because of the common assumption that boots = full leg protection, and such. Try duelling a pikeman when wearing a 4-piece suit. Then tell him to do leghit/action hit. No protection what so ever.
using a "mini-suit" offers the benefit of still having good protection, but not having a lot of encumberance. But it does not offer full protection like acomplete suit.

Almost all the tanks in the Radiant DWB elite team only wear the 4 part suit, including myself. Ive tanked 3 SBD's + others at times with no problems. Having 90% kinetic/energy resists helps a lot too.
it's not the SBD's that's the problem... it's the Wraiths and the Ghosts... when wielding a LVA, and doing some nasty pikeman specials.
We have had our tanks recieve 6.8k damage in 1 hit due to hitting a part not covered by armor... because of the 4-part suit... it's happend on several occations... but never since we made it a rule that everyone had full armor on (exept jedi).
