Enjoying this thread, thanks for all the information y’all continue to provide. Coming from Zeal perspective, defense is incredibly valuable, at least in zeal v zeal. But when I fight Druids the meta seems to be EBODTZ, mainly because wolves don’t have low defense. Given that, I don’t see the benefit of SA fort, which I’ve seen some Druids use. Is it used exclusively with EBODTZ and rends/gface so you don’t have to pump up strength, or is delta vis-a-vis SA and Balrog worth it in a vacuum?
Tbh it’s just style points lol. Most wolves don’t care about defense too much just armor looks (ironic considering you don’t see any of that in wolf form) Beyond that I don’t know why any them would pick a high strength requirement armor like that unless they are boosting str anyway so figure they might as well use it.
