Im confused af right now (not sure if i understood this correctly though)
You want seperate armors for repeater because that will make him tough on "frontline". Yet there is no reason to do so because repeater has access to already good armors and legendary helmets. Giving him seperate, tankier version of xbow armors is a waste of time and ressources tbh. Toughness its not what repeater needs right now. Maybe for pavise champion or even aventurier, since they keep close distance.
Also most of the repeaters i see keep distance, they don't really engage or stand on barricades as you're saying.
But bleeh, i don't know, maybe someone thinks its a good idea or have better arguments than i do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
