A DEFINITE NO. The prospect of armour sounds invinting but that's only before you do the math.

Steel fiber is barely worth it on frost and rhino. On anyone else it's a definite waste. With 150 base of those two and maxed SF your health would last you about 160% as long as it would without SF. On a 200 base of helmet-wearing Frost it turns into 170%. For comparision maxed vitality makes your health last 540% as long as it lasts without vitality AND it costs less Mcp. There's a small matter of 160-170% of "healing efficiency" (since it makes the same ammount of health last longer), but as a rule of thumb - don't bother unless you've got nothing else to waste a slot on.

BTW did you know that armor does not affect the damage that is done to your shields?

Generally speaking unless you are expecting to be dieng a lot or have a relaible healing source you want to prioritize shilelds both in stats and tactic.
