Which bracers?

[Evilmagus]

I'm maining a lvl 50 bard here, big believer in HP/Sta, MR, AC in that order, Dex, then other resists and generally think Agi/Str is irrelevant on a bard other than to carry more gear.


Here are 4 bracers I have and trying to figure out which to keep until I get BoBs

1) Ice Forged Shackles - no brainer this is 1 on HP, and AC, no resists
2) Bracer of Hammerfal - 2nd best HP, crappy AC, no resists
3) Hero's Bracer - 2nd highest AC, Str, no HP, meh resists
4) Tar Goo Strands - 3rd most HP, negative resists, some Str, crappy AC


I am thinking either #1 and #2 or #1 and #3. What are your thoughts?
