Which armor do you think is best?

[JimboSeven]

I'm wondering what I should shoot for: Chains of Honor or Fortitude. What do you think? Or is there more?

Btw it's for a frenzy barb.

thanks

fort will give a huge damage boost and decent resists - fort all the way :)

Fort all the way....CoH for ubers

Fort all the way....CoH for ubers

That's pretty much what I was thinking. since coh has tons of resis, I figured i could concentrate on some bad *** swords, gloves, boots, ammy, rings, belt that have little to no resis. while with fort, you need to be more resis concience, and could be sacrificing the other items a bit. though then again, charms could also compensate for the resis... what a vicious cycle. lol

I think i'll go with fort with that said. thanks guys.

EDIT: oh yeh but I will try both of course

well my frenzy barb with fort has full res and when I prebuff fade he gets more than enough res (75,75,80,75), but Memph's conviction brings those res numbers to single digits lol....don't forget about the chilling armor on fort tho, it's pretty useful when combined with a warcry of ur choice

Fort all the way....CoH for ubers

I know why you say that now...coh has mf.

[canudig]

no the res actually...and mf has no effect on the torch drop, maybe on the mini-ubers, but it's for the res

fortitude even uber can be done on forti depeding on res like mentioned when i uber i use a fade prebuff and res boots.

Also another good armour imo is duress it gives some ed and quite a bit of cb although ow is not that good only i suppose vs life regen slowing it and it also has some res 2.

very cheap and nice runeword

See pvm , I'd go Coh , the 300% damage you get on Fort is partialy made up on COH's damage to demons /undead (most of the monsters in the game) +2 skills helps bo and adds to your combat mastry, further increasing the damage comparison. Not to mention 8%dr , str and did we mention massive resistances? On Frenzy lacking a shield means your going to have to struggle a bit to have max resistances, and hitting a good amount of dr% for Frenzy I'd say coh preffered. If you were Whirlwind, you'd have a shield adding to your res making it less important to have it on the armor.

imo
PVM COH
Pvp Fort

both are top end armors , if one can only make one of these, the coh has more universal appeal to many of your other builds, melee and casters..

I would go Enigma! The teleport is priseless....
And the added STR is like ED%
