Re: Most Useful Items
Offhand,
Starshine Skullcaps. The MR boost can be absolutely vital to an SC, and no other non-unique helm provides one. The astral bonus is often a plus.
Rainbow Armor. Reinvigoration, MR and low encumbrance. A must for any non-expendable melee commander. 0-encumbrance SCs will sometimes, not often, get Jade Armor, instead. On those rare occasions in which I can't afford to waste a misc slot on regeneration, I might also opt for Hydra Armor. Speaking of which...
Rings of Regeneration. Can be waived in the case of immortal or recuperating commanders, or if you've some other reliable means of healing battle afflictions. Otherwise essential to the longevity of front-rank commanders.
Blood Thorns. They drain life and leave a shield/weapon slot open. The only downside is blood micromanagement.
Boots of Quickness. Useful for pretty much anyone who isn't already a water mage.
...
It occurs to me that I'm not really saying anything particularly insightful. I mean, MR good, lifedrain and/or reinvig good, Lucky Coins good, Amulets of Resilience and Boots of the Messenger good. Way deep.
Feh. I suppose I'll just repeat what I said about Rainbow Armor and Blood Thorns. Without actually repeating it, since you can scroll.
