The Strangler (Heavy Armor Warrior) is a common heavy armor warrior pathway at the low-level, and what sets it apart from other battle-professions is that it doesn't have a Breathing Technique, but instead has "Armor Mastery".
This specialization increases the strength and practical skills of the armor. Previously, Lu Ping'an would have seen it as a "rule of the world," but now, looking back, it's just a different development path for the pathway.
Breathing Technique strengthens the body and is part of the Transformation system.
Armor Mastery strengthens the armor and is an external attachment, actually belonging to the Protection/Binding system.
Although it seems like only a functional difference, in reality, the "source" of the rules they borrow from might be different.
There is a limit to a single profession module, and the time and spirit of a professional are also limited, so naturally, one can't cultivate both... unless you take on another profession.
