So I was looking at the different armor sets and I noticed that Ice Queen mail has over two bars of Piercing defense more than Skolver Coat. It trades the Sword damage bonus for a less useful stun resistance, but if the extra defense allows you to survive an extra hit or two, it might be worth it. I was wondering if anyone has tried using Ice Queen in Lockdown with any success?
I currently play T2 LD with a Twisted Snarble Barb, Dusker Cap, and Quicksilver Mail (mostly because I don't feel like investing in an extra Dusker Coat), and I don't miss the extra low damage bonus too much, but I dunno if the extra piercing defense on Quicksilver actually allows me to survive an extra hit. How much of a difference does the med damage bonus on Skolver make? I figure the Royal Jelly mail doesn't provide enough Piercing defense to make up for the loss of damage, but it seems like Ice Queen might.
the stun resistance is actually kinda neat, since people in LD have stun bombs.
