I was contacted at the end of September by someone from here that had read my Sampire in Plate thread and wanted to know if I would help them with a suit. I was quite honored that someone would, first of all, like it and secondly, want me to make one for them....so, a couple of weeks later I got started.
From my first try, I knew something things before starting. I would be imbuing with Verite, he opted to use a Gladiator's Collar, and that if I went for the (near) perfect pieces, that I could save imbue slots. A perfect piece IMO is 5/3/x/x/x in general. Then as the resist get spread out over cold, poison, and energy- you get a more narrow target area.
Here are the pieces I ended up with (I made a total of around 4200 pieces)
Chest: 6/4/4/11/10
Arms: 7/4/4/11/9
Hands: 7/6/9/3/10
Legs: 6/4/7/8/10
Got to the hands and needed x/x/9/x/12 for the 'perfect' fit... but ended up going with the +2 Energy boots to arrive at:
Combined with Verite, Gladiator's Collar and Mace & Shield Glasses-70/109/70/85/70
Now, if you look at the pieces and figure out the imbues, you'll notice that in theory that it is possible to do it with 5 imbues, but that is with each piece being 5/3/x/x/x. And whatever piece gets the poison imbue being 5/3/x/3/x.
So- an essentially completely corpse proof suit for plate with 6 imbues (4 fire, 1 cold, 1 poison).
Will update the post once I finalize the artifacts and imbues.
