Not too sure, but the mitigation is per piece not for the whole suit. So two pieces with 30% movement penalty, and your mitigation is 30%. You should have no movement penalties.

So sad to see this go out the window. Guess it's back to WOW for me.

Armor mitigation skill mods do not stack (even across multiple professions), only the highest is in effect. So if you have 40% Battle armor movement mitigation from Master Swordsman and 30% Battle armor movement mitigation from Doctor, your character has only 40% mitigation, not 70%.

The armor penalties don't stack from multiple pieces, either. You take the largest penalty of all the pieces you have equipped. So wearing 8 pieces with 20% movement hinderance is still only 20% movement penalty.

{This next part may be a little fuzzy, since I've really only been playing TKM since the CU}

It's my understanding that each "level" of crafted armor (basic, standard, advanced) has a hard-coded hinderence. So basic recon armor may have a 10% movement hinderance, standard a 20% movement hinderance, and advanced a 40% movement hinderance. At Master Pistoleer, you get 40% recon armor movement mitigation, which will negate the hinderance from the advanced-level armor (the mitigation is subtracted from the hinderance to determine the actual penalty). At Pistoleer 4004 you get 20% movement mitigation, so wearing armor with 40% encumberance will mean you'll have a 20% movement penalty. You can either take more skills to get higher mitigation, or wear standard armor instead of advanced.

When dealing with unsliced armor, a Master's mitigation should remove all the hinderance. Slicing for increased protection will increase the hinderance, which may push it above your possible mitigation.
