Edit: TLDR, just seems like a very slightly worse woven mail with extra steps
Based on what I’m reading, these changes are an overall nerf to stasis’ DR. 36% at max stacks with the fragment vs just standing near a crystal to get 40%.
The only thing that will save frost armor is the ability to get stacks being plentiful, but even then, having to build up stacks instead of just getting it is annoying af. The shiny new cooldown on making shards is also a lovely -blam!- ing slap in the face.

Idk, I view this as a massive W for Revenant, a small W for Shadebinder, and a slight L for Titan. Frost Armor gives you movement. You aren’t locked to one spot like you were with chains. It also seems like it’ll be pretty easy to maintain that DR forever with the fragments - and Torment gives a big bonus with frost armor equipped. I can already see a Stasis build: - Tectonic Harvest - Diamond Lance - Lancecap helmet - Fragments: Chill, Chains, Rime, Fissures, and either Rending or Shards Diamond Lance + Lancecap is already really strong right now with a good add-clear stasis weapon, so this helps that build a ton. This also comes on the back of a massive Woven Mail uptime nerf for Warlocks and Hunters. Just my opinion tho :)
