It is seemingly best on a heavy armour character in the mid-game who hasn't filled many of the aux armour slots yet, which is unlikely, and preferably has prior investment in Shapeshifting. That said, this form can be used to reach over 100 AC with the right gear and skilling.

	The doubling of your Armor Ego means that wearing, for example, a Chain Mail of Poison Resist will result in rP+ even when in form and despite the form's inherent poison vulnerability. However, 1. other resistances have diminishing returns (rF+, rC+, rN+) and, 2. other egos boost unrelated skills like [[Summonings]], which splits your XP between multiple unsynergistic skills unlikely to be used by a Fortress-form using character: that skill, Shapeshifting, and Armour.
