There are lots of ways to slice it up, but you do have to slice it up, unlike a setting in which its just one more enchanted item.

I think I see what you were getting at now. Yes, in a setting where powerful magical artifacts are rare, having magical powered armor is going to be a pretty Big Deal. Of course, that's really just saying "In a setting where powerful magical artifacts are rare, having a powerful magical artifact is going to be a pretty Big Deal." If you want your powerful magical artifact to essentially be just another piece of equipment, you've got to be in a setting where powerful magical artifacts are common enough to just be pieces of equipment.
