I really appreciate the breakdown, Deaths! I do agree that that combo would give better returns. I am trying to prioritize HP, AC, and MR, but that is indeed a lot to give up just to be marginally sturdier.
I am a troll so STA is pretty much a nonissue. I actually did fail to account for how prevalent the stat would be on Velious gear.
Although thrones and dolls will probably be generally attainable way sooner than Lady M loot, I do think the boots would likely turn out to be the better long term option for the all reasons you've presented: hard-to-replace resists for the slot, superior overall stat returns, our only source of FT 2 even if it does less for us.
