Why do the feral staves still have armor?

I thought the goal of "getting rid" of FAP and putting it on every weapon was so druids had more options and hunters could use former FAP staffs as stat sticks, however with armor still on a few of them, it wastes itemization points and are no good for hunters. Now i would be fine with this if they would have kept the STR on the armor staffs instead of converting it to flat AP like they did all the other staffs, but it doesnt make any sense since only feral druids are going to want these staffs, and str is a bit better for us than flat AP.

Armor is still a good stat for bears. It's just not an insanely good stat that trumps all others.

Some staves have armor and some do not. Those with armor won't be as attractive to hunters but it depends on what they are upgrading from.

We don't expect there to be 100% overlap in which weapons hunters and druids (and possibly even warriors) want. But there will be more overlap than there is now.
