Body armor unrands
But body armors tend to be find and forget. I mean, I guess the robe of augmentation isn't <bad>, but I'd have a hard time saying it's really worthy of being an unrand. I don't think I've ever wanted to use salamander hide armor or the skin of Zhor, etc. Lear's basically prevents you from ever gaining resistances and isn't likely to be much better than your best suite of individual pieces.
The dragon king's armor adds MR to GDA in exchange for taking off +3 enchantment. It's nice in that it comes pre-enchanted, sure, but it's not really an awesome artefact of power, imho. It's wearable, but would you ever say the hat of the alchemist is "wearable"?
The only two that I actually like are Moon Troll leather armor, and the Orange crystal plate armor. Both are recent additions, and are certainly correcting the boring body armor problem, but I feel like it could go alot further.
I feel like there aren't really any good unrands in the ring/scale/chain mail range; Maxwell's and lear's are the only two here and both I'd say are not worth wearing 95% of the time you find one. There isn't a unique ring mail; seems like there's space for at least 3 good unrands here. But feel free to tell me how you dream about the robe of the night, and that it's the best unrand in the game
