The subject says it all. Is it worthwhile? Doing a LAN rush, my
character found one in Act1 Nightmare (only 30% enhanced protection),
and as I read earlier in this group that some recommend using one, I
wanted to know.

Ah, Information. A property, too valuable these days, to give it away,
just so, at no cost.

Well, why not? It's a nice little belt, and a Tal, Shael and PDiamond gets
you one extra row of potions. That alone is worth the upgrade I think.

My ladder Hammerdin uses one (not yet upgraded), and it's a nice belt. I
don't really see the benefits of the other recommended belt for a
Hammerdin (Gloom's Trap), and Arachnid Mesh is too expensive for my taste,
so I will probably upgrade it soon.

What character is wearing it? It's one of the few belts which has some
res-all (and only the Belt from the Disciple set has more res-all).

Regards,

Patrick.

None so far. I put it into my ATMA stash, to wait for the answers.
Thanks for your recommendation. I might use it for my (still beginning)
hammerdin.

Definitely. It's not about the additional defense. Nothing bothers me more
than a belt with less than 4 rows. If you're gonna use it, upgrade it.

Yes - go for it, I always do.

The resists and the huge damage to mana alone makes it a keeper for most
casters. Gloomstrap is not as good in 1.10 as it was in 1.09 due to the way
the increased mana works in 1.10.

Cheers
