Armors with resist runes (such as ORT, etc) would work rather well against specific element attackers (FOHers, for example).

Otherwise, resists SCs would be another method.

if you want to make res shields in monarchs, use topaz/sapphire/ruby. they offer more res than ort/thul/ral.

use resist shield if its one vs one or vs just one element. Otherwise, use SCs, Treachery or armour (last resort) if you duel many different chars. The lost of block with those resist shield is dangerous in pub games.

thanx for the advice guys

but i am using coh which gives a str bonus... when i build my character should i ignore this bonus then since i might be using a resis armor?

There is virtually no case in which you will swap to a resists armour, as virtually no characters will negate your resistance that much, so a resists sheild/ Kira's with the appropriate jewel will be enough. (Generally about -225 Cold resist is used by sorcs) However, it may just be that I only stack light resist and don't worry about cold...
