Desirability
The ability of Kryia's mail coat[1] to double healing from potions is of great use in the early to mid-game, but its utility is far less in the late game or extended. Casters will usually wear something lighter to minimize penalties to spellcasting, and fighters will typically want heavier armour that provides better defenses. Even hybrids will often prefer armour that simply has better innate resistances. However, for a character lacking in cold resistance or relying heavily on healing as a crutch, Kryia's mail coat is very useful.
Vine Stalkers, Mummies, and characters making heavy use of Necromutation have no use for this armour.
History
- Prior to 0.20, wearing Kryia's mail coat would double the effects of wands of healing. Also, the DeviceHeal multiplier didn't work on Deep Dwarf characters.
- Kryia's mail coat was added in 0.17.
