Description

A handy low level mercenary armor.

The additional STR can mean the difference between using a

Halberd for your first Insight polearm on an Act 2 mercenary and being able to use a

Bill (for example, STR 95 req.).

Moreover, few items in this level range have global damage reduction, with Reduce Damage by 5 for good measure.

I wanted to point out that this armor, as any medium body armor, gains a +5% stamina drain and speed penalty.

And finally...
In the early original Diablo 2 game prior to the 1.09patch the armor had slightly different stats, most notably offering +50% to Poison Resist. The 1.09 patch nerfed many items, increasing the value of many of those items found prior to the patch, as Blizzard did not change the stats of those earlier items already in the game.
