Desirability
Maxwell's patent armour[1] is only worth considering for characters willing to lose access to both their spells and the ability to blink or teleport to safety, as removing it in the middle of a fight will leave you helpless for several critical turns. Apart from those very significant downsides, it is otherwise a strong piece of armour, offering solid physical protection, two rare and useful elemental resistances, and a little willpower on top. Formicid berserkers are unlikely to find a better piece of gear anywhere, but all others are advised to wear it at their own risk.
Given the number of teleport and dispersal traps in Zot:5, this is also an excellent choice of armor for clearing that level. Any form of -Tele ensures you will not get trap-teleported into the lungs, which is the most dangerous event that can happen in that level. It is recommended to change back into an armor without -Tele before picking up the Orb though.
