Tried the same thing, this time with an abomination and a one star draugr.

Same armor, same weapons, same food.

I can say that troll armor with a bone shield works well with the abomination, but some hits seem to come through staggering you, but not taking much health.

Bronze armor with bone shield worked well, no staggering.

Bronze armor with bronze buckler works well, but there's some staggering, just like with troll armor and bone shield. Up to you what you prefer. You can stagger the abomination with the bronze armor and buckler, which seems to be the one redemption for bronze armor I can see.

One star draugr works only well with the bone shield, no matter the armor. The buckler just can't cut it as you get staggered most of the time.

I did not try the two star draugr, as that would've been devastating (for me). :D
