armor with few res but many bonuses

Purespiritt - Raging Tide

I make all equipment lvl 6. This objects have only 2,3 resistance's but additional bonuses or socket's. All people say that the best is when eq have all resistance's,but maybe eq - elements(all with not all res) can complete itself so good than finally work better?
so f.e.
leg's all res - 340,3 res - 440
boots all res - 240, 3 res - 311...

Next question... is worth to imbue for archer shards with magic defence? I'm think the most important is hp,mayby evasion.

No. It doesn't really matter for gear at your level. Also, shard HP.

I'm not even sure that it works (after all, one item might give you more fire res than usual, but another item might not give you fire res at all, so all in all I'm not sure about it). Tried it for a while, but found it to cumbersome trying to mix'n'match, so I stayed with all-res equipment.

Doesn't make much of a difference anyway --- while I was increasing my Craftsman to lvl 5 I made some physical resist stuff (much cheaper than the magic resist items), and even tried one just to see how it changes things. Well, it took away 1% of my magic damage reduction, and added 1% to my physical damage reduction --- this is just ridiculous. Essentially, a few more "res" points doesn't help anything, which makes spending a lot of time trying to maximize things seem rather pointless.
