'Enigma' is essentially the most sought after armour
in Diablo II at the moment. Trading for an Enigma
isn't easy, and making one yourself is much more
difficult. Here is what you're after:
Enigma
3 Socket Body Armor
Jah + Ith + Ber
+2 To All Skills
+45% Faster Run/Walk
+1 To Teleport
+750-775 Defense (varies)
+ (0.75 Per Character Level) +0-74 To Strength (Based On Character Level)
Increase Maximum Life 5%
Damage Reduced By 8%
+14 Life After Each Kill15% Damage Taken Goes To Mana
+ (1 Per Character Level) +1-99% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items (Based On Character Level)
As you can see, Enigma has by and large everything
you'd want in an armor. It also allows your
character to use the Sorc ability Teleport. This
is why Enigma so go good.
When you trade for or make an Enigma you don't
want to get ripped off by trading for a crappy
one or screw up the process of building one. This
chart should help prevent that.

|Armour Type|Base Defense|Superior Bonus|Enigma Bonus|Total Defense|Strength Required|
Dusk Shroud......467 * 1.15 + 775 = 1312 (77)
Wyrmhide.........470 * 1.15 + 775 = 1315 (84)
Scarab Husk......474 * 1.15 + 775 = 1320 (95)
Wire Fleece......481 * 1.15 + 775 = 1328 (111)
Diamond Mail.....489 * 1.15 + 775 = 1337 (131)
Loricated Mail...496 * 1.15 + 775 = 1345 (149)
Great Hauberk....501 * 1.15 + 775 = 1351 (118)
Boneweave........505 * 1.15 + 775 = 1355 (158)
Balrog Skin......517 * 1.15 + 775 = 1369 (165)
Archon Plate.....524 * 1.15 + 775 = 1377 (103)
Kraken Shell.....523 * 1.15 + 775 = 1376 (174)
Hellforge Plate..530 * 1.15 + 775 = 1384 (196)
Lacquered Plate..531 * 1.15 + 775 = 1385 (208)
Shadow Plate.....557 * 1.15 + 775 = 1415 (230)
Sacred Armor.....600 * 1.15 + 775 = 1465 (232)
Here is the setup for every single type of elite
armour. The odds are that you won't be able
to attain a perfect superior 3 socketed Scarab
Husk to make an Enigma from, so use this chart
as a guideline. However you can clearly see the
trends. It is obviously not worth it to use a
Kraken Shell Enigma when it will have less defense
than an Archon Plate and more strength required.
Based on this information we can conlude that the
Dusk Shroud, Wyrmhide and Archon Plate are the
best armours to use when creating an Enigma.
