MA Ulm - you called me a forge what?

No, you want the black steel plate, the 5 gem one with 2 encumbrance. Alternatively you can go with fire plate for essentially the same thing. The one with 4 encumbrance is a bad idea, the point of the extra reinvig is not to have a net 0 encumbrance, it's to have a high negative net encumberance so you can recover the fatigue from your buffs before many people start trying to make critical hits on you. That's why you want to stick to summon earthpower, then blessing, then invulernability, then wait twice before attacking rather than stacking on a fireshield or some other buff.
