	With 3 resistances and excellent AC, a set of golden dragon scales is a strong choice for any high-[[strength]] melee brute. However, the chances of finding one before [[Depths]] or [[Zot]] are very low. You can get +10 [[plate armour]] or so well before then, which will generally outperform a +0 GDS. You could wait to enchant your gear, but the time spent waiting for GDS is time that your [[scrolls of enchant armour]] are doing nothing.

	'''Gold dragon scales''' are one of the heaviest body armours in the game (tied with [[crystal plate armour]]), ~~providing excellent physical defense as well as~~ resistance to [[fire]], [[cold]], and [[poison]]. ~~Unfortunately, they require very high [[strength]] to wear effectively, and~~ the ~~armour's~~ [[encumbrance ~~rating~~]] is ~~massive enough to make~~ casting ~~spells~~, [[dodging]], and [[stealth]] very difficult~~, if not outright impossible~~.
