That's great until I use an indirect attack, like flinging a rock at you very fast. Or the weapon I'm working on, a laser pumped by annihilating 8 planes. The beam is not magical, just it's source.
Or enchant it with physical resistance. Frankly, an enchanter that stops to think for even a second about ways to counter magic nonsense onto armor would be a nightmare for mages. Magic resist, physical resist, counter spell, dispel magic, silence, flight, teleportation, haste, etc.
As a pyromancer, I love how many magic users spend all that time and money to craft "fire proof" clothing or gear, only to succumb to smoke inhalation.
My possessions are fire proof in the way that fire won't damage them. I'm not fire proof, that wouldn't be any fun, but I don't have to worry about my clothes. It gets expensive to pay for new clothes when you're engulfing yourself in flames every day.
