Best Base Items for Stealth and Nadir?

Was just wondering if it's worth hunting down a 2 Socket Superior

Breast Plate and

Bone Helm to make a Stealth and Nadir for my other characters or does defense not really matter all that much? Honestly might do it anyways just for the looks anyways.

No, defense is almost irrelevant in D2. (unfortunately). I always go with the lowest strength required armor and

Helm (buy from

Charsi/

Fara) so that all my characters can easily use them.

Yeah way I saw it was just make them as soon as you can since they'll be replaced in NM.

@BillyMaysed@Teebling Good to know, bit of a bummer but that just means I wont worry about my current character but I will prob make them for my other characters, got to look good while leveling you know.
