Raise armor rating or reduce times hit?

[Badenstein]

I've been debating in my mind over which is better?

a. raise my armor using one of the elemental's spells

or

b. use one of the defensive skills to just get missed more

so... what do you guys think?

I prefer the miss more. But to test it out, put them both on your bar and see which one saves your but more often. For me, it was the miss more spell.
