For T2, what armor types should I be aiming for? Normal/Elemental seems to be what people recommend for T3. Would a full set of Spiral Plate really make a difference in damage reduction over other hybrid armors?
Got my butt handed to me on a Depth 7 arena and I was losing 2-3 bars per hit (Wolvers/Gremlin). In prep I wanted to start aiming for the next difficulties so that doesn't happen again.
Wolvers and gremlins both deal normal damage. Basically anything that gives you Normal resistance is a good investment, because even in tier 3 enemies deal that damage type, but the deeper you go the more common elemental and shadow damage will be. I advise making two sets of armour eventually to deal with both elemental and shadow damage and switch where appropriate.
