its for merc.. i need to know a good armor to push it into. I plan on eth upping it.

ap is nice, if your merc can handle the str req then go for shadow plate or sacred armor - most can at 85ish with andys or gskull

bug it. get an eth base and cube sockets into it. anything really over 1k defense after the bug imo. higher if you are a perfectionist

highest defense armor that ur merc can wear (with str requirement)

right but what do i get before hand? and eth ancient armor?

refer to post #4

get an eth version of the armor and tal thul ptop to socket in cube, hopefully it pops 4os
nah ancient armor sucks

i Went AP bugged was 1100 base def and 3300+ after rolling could go higher look at the mercs base str and find the best you can fit into that requirement

gg thx guys!

ok so cube adding sockets gives another eth bonus of 50% enhanced defence.... so you really want to get eth sacred armor with no sockets and you have a 50% chance of it getting 4 sockets after...
sacred armor has base max of 600 so eth max of 900 and added socket max of1350... when you make fort out of this, you get 4050 defense... this is the max as far as i know... unless you find something better but i am pretty sure you cant cube add sockets to superior (i could be wrong)
