Answered Jeweler’s archon plates of…?

So i know “of the whale” is the go-to, but i just re-rolled a jewelers

Archon Plate (original magic

Archon Plate from a lvl 96

Terror zone) of +4 dex (only took like 400 rolls to get it).

Anecdotally the jewelers mod popped up like 1/100 re-rolls, i got another one but it was like damage reduced by 4 (i re-rolled it).

Here’s what i know i should look out for right now:
-FHR (17-24)
-damage/magic damage reduction (8+)
-+15 or more to strength/dex
-+30 to a single res (except cold)

So what are the other worthy stats i should keep my open for?

I suppose if i found one with 30% lower requirements I’d probably keep that too

I think "of simplicity" (reduced requirements) also have use cases. (Edit : ok, you were quicker)

as my opinion , the first question is what off-hand should I gear?

Stormshield or Jeweler’s

Monarch of xxx is the best one matches this armor.


secondly, what build is it?
please go on......

These type of armours are usually best for something requiring as many facets as possible (sorcs, javazons, elemental druids), or other characters looking to max out attack speed, then you fill the sockets with 15ias jewels with useful secondary mods (40ed/15ias), or duellers looking to max out stats, the best jewels for that are the ultra rare but powerful 30/9/9s - 30ed, 9 strength, 9dex, and a good final mod (usually life)

So whilst gathering the gems to re-roll my 96terror zone

Archon Plate i found a “jeweler’s ancient armour of

Defiance” from

Charsi! So 220 defence, poison length reduced by 75%, 4OS.

Like it’s not the “best” jewelers armour, mid-range run/walk speed reduction, just meh defence and 3 more strength requirement than an

Archon Plate… but it does look pretty sick on a paladin, necro, assassin and Druid

The best use would be for an immortal

Nova sorc, but idk, it’s really hard to give up 30FCR from

Skin of the Vipermagi, like i could still reach 105 if i craft a 20FCR amulet, and

Sacrifice both ring slots…tough call
