AFIK, you need iron and obsidian to max troll armor. Level 3 should be good enough if you're careful.

I do level 3 troll or bronze, whichever one I feel like grinding, although I disagree on the protection vs mobility in swamps. Everything in the swamps moves slow, but you have to be able to fight in close quarters, so I think bronze gives you a bit of an edge.

Why are you lying to this man?

Drauger Elite can sprint and they don't lose movement speed through water
Skeletons also pass effortlessly through water
Wraith can fly and are thus immune to the effects of water AND terrain

When moving through swamps, if you take a bad line and end up draining your stam wading through water, they will run you down no problem. To keep this from getting into a debate on play style preference, if you are more comfortable when you're moving so you can run in and out of situations or navigate difficult terrain for longer periods of time = Troll armor. If you want to be able to take hits while fighting in the swamp (WHY DO THIS?!?!) Bronze / Heavy...

Lying?

I've played this game enough to know that you can run away from just about anything anywhere in any armor, and draugr only move fast if you get near them. Even then they only do it in spurts between their dance moves.

Archers are more of a threat, and elite in the crypts where (like I said), it's tight quarters.
