    I think chain is good only if you want to socket there full magic resist and you also have a plate set for melees. If you don't IMO it's just a waste of points/time/kinah. I tried once magic resist on glad and I didn't like it, mages still had too much MA. I also don't know how to code macro to switch whole set, so I just returned to my crit build and became fear hater ;d

    Plate doesn't have anything to offer besides physical defense, which is useless.

    Chain gives more MR.

    Just because it gives MR, doesn't mean it's only meant for those using MR builds (I get 1700 MR with glasses + no MR stones, 2k MR if I'm hybrid.)

    The custom bonuses are the same for every armor type of ABG, also.

    chain has 47more mr not a big deal at all, only worth it if you have 2 sets by default , otherwise just slot Mres on the plate its not such a big deal

    i think abg chain socket with full MR is better than using plate. in raids You'll rather resis annoying debuffs and keep atking. it's also usefull when ur in a group pvp, clerics spend less time dispelling u and focus heals on you better. Tbh i use abg chain ''MR'' regardless .. i really dun care if im fighting another melee that hits harder than me. especially glads if u can resis Lock down snares etc u have a better advantage.

    Just a quick question,

    are you running using a chain set as a main ? or you doing switching set?
