HandEFood: I am a Warrior, currently near the end of the game in the Black Ring dungeon. Do you think a Survivor or Mage character would come to a different conclusion on the Armor vs. Defense question?
Raze: Here are my armor stats as they apply to Armor and Defense (my current Armor is 486, and my current Defense is 143)
Helm: 350 (20%) +20 Agility
Shield: 270 (30%) +20 Agility
Breastplate: 440 (25%) +2 Agility
Belt: 370 (5%)
Gloves: 220 (5%) +6 Agility, +2 Defense
Boots: 270 (5%)
Leggings: 200 (10%) +8 Agility
Interestingly, my Armor is 486, when my highest armor class is 440 for the breastplate. So, obviously, this total Armor score is NOT an average. I wonder how they obtain the Armor score.
Now that I have used my gold charms on it, I will stick with this armor set.
My general question to any DD Theorists <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" /> still remains: As you are building up your character, is it better to emphasize Armor over Defense, or Defense over Armor?
