Which better for fort?

[seymorebutts]

do u think ill make a better fort if used a 4os superios wire fleece that has 439 defence n 10% increased maximum durability or a non superior, just normal archon plate that has 483 defence. btw when i ask which is better, i mean the resist n d wise or overall

depends if your str can use the archon plate, if you can use it otherwise use the wf...

wf costs alot to repair as my understanding goes

well i was thinking of giving it to my merc since i couldnt find any eth stuff.
so which is better?

mercs should have over 103 str, give him the archon plate, etheral stuff isnt that expensive and is so much better for a merc. but they can be harder to trade away.
