Is the light/heavy armor buff in enchanting worth using?
I've learned both increase heavy armor skill and light armor skill enchantments from breaking items, and I would like to know whether using them has a noticeable effect or not when enchanting a piece of armor (or ring or necklace), say in the formula used when calculating the damage reduction.
Do they have any effect in reducing the damage taken? Are they worth using or other enchantments (health regen, stamina regen and so on) should be chosen instead?
