So, I just wanted to confirm what it seems like people are saying about Robes vs Plate. I know it's an issue of personal preference, but is it true that most people prefer armored clerics over robed clerics? (Assuming a monk splash)
With Armor you get all those good bonuses on armor and shields, but with robes you get that hefty wisdom based AC bonus. Is armor still better?

I tested Robes and monk AC over fullplate and shield. With full plate and shield i got more AC. Using thids armor and thids shield. Another plus as mentioned here is the immuuns and such you get. Even with an UR robe you won't get a smuch AC. (just for nthe record i used a Kenku subrace maxed wisdom at all times including great wis X, only lack the wis artifact) I think if you defeat asmodeus a few times you might get a few bonus wis points giving you a better AC with robes. Since this is no easy tsk i wouldn't base it around that though if you get fallen bastion plate you will get more i think with a plate as this is the only +20 Fullplate i have seen so far (but could be wrong with that)
Monk is mostly taken for eveasion and skilldump in tumble and discipline

My demigod half celestial cleric with the wisdom artifact only gets something like +5 more ac if I wear robes rather fullplate - really not worth giving up a shield for a torch if you ask me. It's a useful alternative however for Phleg and Nessus though if you don't like paying 100s of million to fix slagged equipment.
