I don't know what your intent is, but I've always found an emerald or a obsidian (>= 35%) shield of whatever (preferably tiger, but I settled for an indestructible one) a better choice for my sorceror since I always aim for maximum resistances. Naj's plate and Thinking cap each give 20% resist all, and even with a perfect jade (30%) you only get 70% resist all. Granted, you'll have max magic resistance due to Dreamflange, but I just love all those golden letters.
