Earliest game equipment and the like. One of the most important early game newb thing to do is saving Cain - You'll get body armour from Akara which is usually good enough for entire normal difficulty.

Sorry for the noob question, why is

Robe of Steel

+(11 to 20)% Bonus to Spell Focus
25% Cast Speed
+(21 to 30)% to Spell Damage
+(115 to 140)% Enhanced Defense
+100 to Strength
+100 to Energy
Elemental Resists +20%
+250 Life after each Demon Kill
50% Bonus to Defense

Socketed (6)

a desirable item? I saw a few recommendation for spell builds mainly.

Besides the big SF, it's lacking pierce & +sk. Doesn't seem that great to me, not sure what I am missing.

Well its got Spellfocus, cast speed, spell damage %, while having great defensive properties and only a 428 str requirement (making it very attainable with charms alone and some aa% or str% on other pieces). When you equip it you go from 428 str to well over 530 str, meaning other end game pieces become attainable with little or no additional str investment. The +100 energy is a nice added bonus too!

Should have quoted you in my previous post about why I think its a good caster armor, so I quoted you here instead.

How does Amazon's defensive harmony and slow attackers work?

Between maxing that or blood elementals on a Bow Zon for survivability, which would be better?

Doesnt really matter what you do to increase survivlability, your best survivalbility is to run, dont be close to enemies and kill them before they kill you (not joking), you are squishy no matter what. You wont also have enough points to invest in fire elementals or defensive harmony. You are better out putting leftover points in Wild and Free(or what it's called) to get movement speed.

It is most usually recommended for magic/physical spellcasters, where pierce is irrelevant. Also there are no other SU body armors with relevant amounts of pmsd. Other builds that benefit from it are tri elemental casters like trapsin or tribeam pala

Is there a table for FCR, IAS, etc. for all classes in median? I can't seem to find it.

Lol ok thanks for the tip! I guess it's just glass cannon kiting.

Following the ssf bowzon guide and only maxing paragon, I have quite a bit of spare points. Almost 15 lol.
