most likely going to be making Coh or enigma soon and i was wondering the best armor to use for either...
best meaning highest defense with STR requirements somewhere around 100-130

Welcome to the forums. :wave:

*steals pants and wallet*

Probably an archon plate. Manageable strength requirements, good defense, and an excellent resale value to boot.

Well, if you're making enigma I recommend using a lower strength armor and getting your strength from the enigma itself. But, if you are already going to have 100+ str, then yeah, might as well go Archon Plate. Keep in mind runewords made in superior armors often have better resale, but they cost an arm and a leg to repair.

Yeah, for a 100-130 strength range Archon Plate (http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/elite/armor.shtml) really is your best choice when balancing def and str req. I personally have a 3os Dusk Shroud ready for Enigma, but that's because several of my characters will be able to wear it (without the need for other items with +str).

And Archon Plate looks cool on characters ^^

Some people put it on Mage Plates.

I prefer Mage Plate for Enigma for the lower stength requirement. It has the same look as an Archon Plate, too. :wink3:

I prefer to put CoH in an Archon, both because it has lower strength requirement then a Dusk Shroud and because (in my opinion) it looks better on a sorceress then Dusk does. :tongue:

A dusk (77) has a lower str requirment than an archon (103), so I prefer Dusk for CoH.
I also think Mage Plate is best for Enigma, with torch and anni you can get away with a base str build.

I actually dont like any of these armours for style (MP/AP is Ok-ish) but re-sell value is alot higher and you don't have to waste lots of points on str in your build.

well for me, the easyest/cheapest way is to keep 3-4 rals in stash, so yes i stack them.
but everyone sholud do what he think is best

I got used to not using orts, rals, and superior base items when I got into pvp. Stash space on a pvp character is much too valuable to be cluttering up with runes imo. That, and the xfers get annoying pretty quick, too. To me, the ease of picking up a little gold off the battlefield and being good to go outweighs the 15% damage or defense I might enjoy otherwise. Plus, I like saving my rals for crafting.:wink2:
