OK, I’ve done some testing and I think I’ve sussed it! I think the regen armor is superior to the con+4 armor in all situations except taking on the final bosses in the final quest. My reasoning is as follows. It seems that the survivability of the con+4 armor is slightly better than the regen armor, but it is not sufficiently better that it warrants using it, except for the final quest. In the final quest survival is the only thing that matters and since IMHO the con+4 armor provides superior survivalism, then it needs to be used there. However for the rest of the game, your primary objective in taking down a monster is to grab as much cash as you can. The exp gain is not affected by your equipment so the only thing that you can modify is how much money you make from each fight. The regen armor is vastly superior here. You end up with a lot less damage to have the Guardian of Dreams heal and that means you pocket more of the gold you garnered from your hard fought victory. What is your opinion? I value alternative thinking, ideas, and analysis. So please post your thoughts on this. Thanks!
