Last I checked I saw a conversation where Laserlag said that it was okay to use it, but not in combat/right before combat/anywhere near combat.
Basically you can use it to stick your armor on right after you get it out of the chest or if you're showing off your fancy skin. And, of course, Laser might come and correct me eventually.
Also, it would probably make it a lot less complicated if it was just not used. XC
