Gold Dragon Armour or Crystal Plate Armour?

[diviton]

Which armour is better for a spelless minotaur fighter who plans to tackle the post game (15 runes) following The Shining One?

[defen]

Whichever you find first, or whichever is more enchanted. If you somehow pull both simultaneously, CPM if your strength is <27, GDA if your resists are less than stellar.

Plate/medium dragon armor with working charms and translocations will give you more survivability, though.

Depends on how desperately you need the resists but probably CPA. It has more base AC, and more potential AC via enchants and armour skill (and you don't need to enchant no hides!). Also it has a lower EVP which means that 1) you can dodge just a little bit better because eight is smaller than nine (not relevant at max skills) and 2) you need less strenght (24) and can start pumping dex which also makes you dodge better via dodging skill (much more relevant).

AND HIGHER GDR OMG!!1
