What's the best Tavernkeep armor?

[Obscurifii]

I'm basically endgame summoner and was curious if there's any good armor from the tavernkeep

[GraviityAssist]

yes the tavern keeper actually sells the very best armor set in the game contrary to popularity.

the valhalla armor is a sentry style summon set that allows the placement of 4 sentries when the entire set is worn. head gives + 10% damage to minions and has 14 def.. chest gives 30% minion damage & health regeneration buff that is on par with shiny stone. this boost is active at all times regardless of movement making the chest piece the best piece of standalone armor in the game... speaking of movement the legs have a + 30% speed boost and also give 20% to minion damage and critical strike chance.

using the chest piece and legs with a chlorophyte mask for melee a shoomite mask for ranged and chlorophyte headset again but rather for mage is without question far superior to any set you can obtain from the pillars. you can also just interchange the head sets to suit your needs on the fly.

Squire Armour is decent early hardmode, only have to beat one mechanical and you have something arguably better than Hallowed and potentially Chlorophyte. Can't tell you about the other class sets because I never used them

all of them are balanced depending on your class and sentry. but i dont know since old ones is really hard in expert
