I noticed that my ES Fireline who had been wearing a Suit of Rusty Armor had larger than expected soaks listed. I expect it isn't supposed to stack with the new Way of Earth mechanics.
Edit: So talking to an opponent I fought recently, it appears the soak does not stack for purposes of combat. It may just display that way on my character profile.
Way of Earth Soak stacks with armor

Looks like this was fixed in April and the thread was never archived.
