Yeah, that would totally work, actually; I keep forgetting the set bonus of the fenris set is fists, +15, not the fire resist, so that's probably a pretty good general light armour balance if one insists on going light armour.

EDIT: so apparently the fists+15 AND the fire resist is for the full set only; boo.
