Just a question. How about the erep rare armors with fhr and life 2os. How do these match up to fort for BiS armor due to their versatility of having sockets? Thanks for your guide!

Good timing on this question, because our community has gotten pretty sick of Fort and just took a vote to try a season without it. So, it is about to be banned for all classes. There's been some discussions going on about what would be best to replace it with. I think the general consensus is that a 2os erep rare armor with 24fhr and high life and at least 2200 def would be BiS in this case, but those are very very rare. It's much more common to find these armors with one of the crucial stats missing, i.e., 2os erep with 50+ life and 2200+ defense but no FHR, or 24fhr 30+ life 2os erep but only 2000 defense, etc. But yes, you are basically correct to assume that these armors are good. But if Fort was unbanned like it has been up until this point, nothing beats it. Fort is way OP and it would be really hard to consistently beat anyone wearing Fort unless you're wearing Fort yourself. You would have been better off removing cerebus/gface for a 2os pelt if you needed sockets, compared to getting rid of Fort for a 2os armor, if that makes sense.

Makes perfect sense man thank you. Look forward to 6/1.
