Have you considered finding a superior eth archon plate with 2 sockets and making Prudence (Mal Tir)?

Eth Stone or Eth Duress

Eth Stone or Eth Duress

So when it breaks, make a new one? Errr... That's a waste of good armors and runes.

I voted eth Carapace, the first one too oO WOOT.

I think with abit of customisation all of the armours listed could do exceptionally well, the reason I use Carapace for example is due to my setup versus other barbs.

I use a crafted blood belt with STR/DEX/FHR/O/W(10%) and...22 life (xD), using a -15res/15res jewel in the Armour and Arreats enables me to use the Armour with relativly base STR, I've tested the awkward STR bugging like this on S/P and it is possible to wear it with base STR as long as Storm is -15/15'd and the belts good enough, however you loose valuable DR which is needed in BVB.

My usual setup is:

Arreats
Enigma Mage
Storm
Botd BA
Verdungos
Gores
Draculs
Angelic Amu
Angelic Rings

And with a 20/18/9 Annihulus I'm wearing my standard setup with base STR, I have however, had to pump STR slightly to wear the Carapace.

Crapace does have mana generation, however since its not Pul'd in favour of next to base STR Arkraines is arguably better, more then likely similar defence with 2 skills for Warcries and WW damage cause it to stand out.

Myself, I'm using Carapace in favour of aesthetics xD

Trust me dude Garbald is rich enough you do not have to worry about him not being able to afford another one and you can always use on a merc when it gets low.

I say duress because the 33% ow roughly equals 170+ pvp damage after lvl 90.
