I made another suits for first step.
This suits can exchange helm with with Mace'n Shield glasses.
This gear based on 1 loot legendary and Mace'n Shield glasses. I strongly recommend choosing studded armor for looted legendary, plate armor is the worst.Because Mace'n Shield has high AR.
Rest part of gears, 4 ring mails or 3 ring mails and a plate neck.3 agapite and a valorite.
Imbuing FR, LMC, HP, Mana and Stam to valorite one. Agapites are "5HCI, CR, LMC, Stam and Mana" , "5HCI, LMC, HP, Stam and Mana" and " ER, LMC, HP, Stam, Mana".
Making a fake Mace'n Shield:
Making bascinet with normal iron , "x/x/6+/6+/6+". Then powder it. Imbue AR to 20. Enhance with Valorite. (26% chance to destroy with BS180/Imb120 gargyle) Imbue FR, HP, Stam and Mana.
If you have SSI jewel like this brace, you won't need Essence of Control for Double Axe.
