Heavy armor help

[fireball0836]

I used to run the drowned knight armor but it doesn't have enough physical defense and i cant take a simple saltless in tainted armor, plus in tainted you aint gotta worry about fighting me, just make me platform and ill fall. Is there a decently balanced set that isnt 10 tons? By balanced i dont mean the stat so much as having a bit of everything for resistances, please and ty in advance!

Very well.
Overlord's is actually pretty light. Next lightest is a tie between Onyx and Doppelsoldner. Onyx is a bit skewed. Next lightest is a three way tie, Lamprey, white plate, and Predator. Lamprey is okay, and apparently has a thorns effect.

Eh, I play best as a tank. Probably cause i spent 6 and a half years playing only a warrior in EverQuest 1.

Greatstuff without shields or fastroll will make your life very difficult.

So in this ng+ i should aim for overlord set and save mats to level it up? How does it stack for resistances?

Although armour is bad, between armours it's fairly well balanced. E.g. the umbral set has great slash and the best elemental resistances, but has almost no balance or strike resistance.

The potato armour is the only one with balanced strike and slash, but has almost no magic resistance and low balance.

The titan set has the best balance and decent non-strike resistances, but is tied for the heaviest.

So basically just take your weight budget, and pick the set that has the tradeoffs you like.

I take it all back.
Ronin crans sword (cant spell it) plus a good shield means that you definitely should not fight me for i am a salt god
Why have i not tried this sooner.
As for weight thanks to my shield ill fashion salt myself into the white knight armor, because it looks damn cool and is light as all ♥♥♥♥
Cheers guys, thank you
