I've got a rule of thumb from ADOM stuck in my head; If the total EV/AC is higher by switching to a piece of armor, it's worth switching. So, say, if a light-armor wearer was at AC 3, EV 11 early game, a switch to bulkier armor which gave AC 6, EV 9 would be an upgrade.
All other things being equal (resistances etc.), and assuming I'm not spellcasting, would this be something I should be doing in Crawl, at least early on before I waste a ton of xp training dodging or armor? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
