Depending on the enemy it's either get Merc Treads OR have the Tenacious mastery. You shouldn't have both (you can but it's not very effective stacking). It's sort of a needed item in most cases because you'll need that magic resist which is usually why I buy it because I always had the Ancient golem already equipped or the Tenacious Mastery.

I think it's a worthwhile trade off seeing as now you can slap a cloth on early and build it into something rather quickily. Humorously I used to build Wriggles because it was cheap armor. So this buffed my game by creating something much like that but even tankier.

As much as Merc Treads will become a must build I imagine fighters who like Lizard and Feral Flare will enjoy Quill Coat and new Golem as well so we are looking at less variation of item builds either way.
