I don't think I have ever had a full set of troll, just a cape, but this playthrough I didn't even bother with that ha ha.

Bronze armor is the one that should always be skipped. It's only 6 points of protection better than Troll, slows you down 10%, and takes just a stupid amount of mining thanks to needing 2 copper and 1 tin per bronze. It's the most resource intensive armor in the game with the worst stat increase.

Works fine for me. Troll is pointless to me since I don't really sneak. Any benefit is better as far as I am concerned. I don't normally run from enemies either so speed isn't the most important thing to me either.

I feel a lot safer fighting Bonemass with Bronze over troll. Thus I can save all that iron for padded and upgrades for tools etc. Entering the mountains is also fine with Bronze to me. It holds up well enough until you get wolf. After that you can safely enter the plains.

But to each their own... I won't judge you for using troll. If it fits your playstyle then go for it.
