Well, I hope to get these gloves, who cares about AC when you're fighting a dragon anyway. Damn, don't you see how uber these are? 15 MR! Come on now!
I haven't gotten these yet, but since I'm still camping with a big group (only camped becuz event was ended by some moron in EK and I'm gonna log back in an hour to rejoin the grp) I'll most likely get them. We had 2 bards in the group and the first kill we had dropped the Shining Steel Sword (I got this) and these Gloves (other bard got the gloves) so now we're switching and he'll get the sword and I'll get the gloves.
The mace drops in EK as well as you all know. EK is the place to be, anywhere else is uncivilized.
