Huh? I'm sorry, the other way around.

Resistance I found to be much better. It detracts from the total damage inflicted, meaning physical attacks will do much less damage to your units. This is especially obvious to see on creatures who already have some form of physical resistance, like Ghosts or Knights and Dragons. With the boots (or the Slippery Cuirass), they become even more sturdy.

+2 Defense let's face it, hardly matters as much as 15% resistance. Except of course, against enemies that inflict different types of damage.

I usually change my gear depending on whether I will need magical resistance (Cloak of the Wizard +20%), Physical, or Poison (Sun Cloak). Magic res. is especially very usefull against Gremlin Towers.

I agree with BB

[Razorflame]

maybe that depends on high much damage there is then?

on low levels let's say a unit would do 3 damage

15% of that is rather useless

and a +2 def would be better

but whereas

a unit would do 1000k damage

then the phys resis would be better

it's debatle

That's the best solution anyway... I used Ogre Boots and Shimmering Boots together myself (though more for the +1 speed to Trolls then for defense)

15% physical damage resistance is better than +2 defense.
