best armor set?

[Oedipus's Stepdad]

I've found the Magdberg Plate set to be very decent, but the noble's cuirass and gauntlet seem more durable and offer more defence than their Magdberg counter parts. Problem is I've never been able to find all the pieces for the full noble's plate set, and I'm wondering if anyone here has an opinion on the highest defensive/best armor?

[Hoenir;]

Too be honest the differences between the High end armors are minimal (some exchange of charisma and a few defense stats) I believe the Magdburg to be the best one. Second being the Augsburg or Meissen i guess. Keep in mind there's no full complete set.

edit:

Helmet - Arching Bascinet
Chest - Magdeburg (from quest), then milanese
Gloves - Nobleman
Pauldrons - Magdeburg
Chausses (leg plate + boots) - Magdeburg
Head chainmail - Noble's coif

Like i said, the difference between some of the gear is not much. Magdeburg - Nuremberg - Augsburg (gloves, paudrons and chausses)

the noble gauntlets are beaten by the Kuttenberg gauntlets in charisma and defense sir and Kuttenberg are beaten by Aachen in all but charisma.

the Nurembergian cuirass beats out the Magdeburg cuirass in def (by +2 +2 +1)

I believe the Nuremburgian Curiass is better than the Magdeburg, and I know for sure that the Italian Bascinet is better than the Arching Bascinet

Are you taking into consideration the Warhorse armor set or only non DLC armors?

I got my hands on a dark padded coif once, but I messed up and died before I could save my game :/ making do with the dyed one you can get from the faint hearted knight

Maybe best to post the actual def values for comparison, obviously making sure to have nondamaged equipment

For outer jacked I currently have the Quatered combat jacked with def values 4/7/12

um arching bassinet has 22.9 stab def. 9.16 smash def. 22.9 slash def. 6 weight and 15 char. and Italian bassinet has 20.7 stab def. 8.28 smash def. 20.7 slash def. 9 weight and 10 char.
so no Italian is not better at all

I'm pretty sure the 2nd is not true the arching bascinet is the best in game

Have you seen Divish in his armor? Dude looks like an emperor. Best armor in the game.

those stats are the same for the brocade outer jacket but the brocade wins at charisma
