Sooo...

Red + Myrmidon = 385HP 30MR 22CR 23FR

Willsapper + Warlord = 345HP 17MR 14CR 9FR

Quite the hit IMO for a off chance that AC is actually worth a damn on P99.

And tell me... When is a warrior not in a bard group when resists matter? Most important fights bards will be feeding clerics, DS/resisting warriors and left overs will be keeping highest DPS alive.

Warlord = 279 AC - 310 HP - 17 MR - 14 CR - 9 FR
Myrmidon = 250 AC - 335 HP - 25 MR - 17 CR - 18 FR


Just looked at the Wiki stats, yea that 25 HP vs 29 AC over a whole set. If it matters like Rogean says it does I'd definitely favor Giant armor over Dragon armor given the chance.

In the grand scheme of things it likely doesn't matter much but min maxing I think giant armor wins out.

That's only 40 HP, unless there's a typo in there that I'm missing? What's the AC differential between the sets?

Aye often the Warrior is with a Bard. But from my experience once that 255MR Bard gets feared those songs stop... Once debuffs or additional battle buffs/heals hit you, those buff slots fill up and those songs don't fit. Besides your CR/FR will still be rather low even with a Bard/Circles. While you're going to put the War with a Bard, it's not a guarantee that utility is going to last.

38 AC difference (with the willsapper in hand). What's the AC softcap for Velious? Guarantee it's hittable without Warlord armor. Never mind the fact there are many non armor pieces to slip in that have monsterous amounts of AC on them. To me you're going to hit diminishing returns on AC pretty quickly wearing Warlord while you could have the additional resists and HP from Myrmidon and the softcap+ AC at the same time.
