I've been playing with full Black Iron since I first found the set. My current character concept is pretty much what my avatar is; a black (fallen) paladin. He's a gravelord, has high faith, has a huge sword/shield, and wears all black. So far, it's been going great.
However, I'd like a little variety now. I'm looking to also go a little lighter since carrying around the Sword and Shield of Artorias is going to be really heavy. This guy is going to fat roll all of his life, but that's ok since he sucks at dodging. I want to switch out my heavier helm/hands for a medium set to get the best of both worlds. Right now, with the wolf ring, my poise is 119. I know that's a little overkill, so I'd be happy to trade down some poise and defense for some extra protection in other areas.
For instance, if I switch out the BI helm and hands for the Paladin Helm and Hands, I'll lose minor defensive values, but gain magic, poison, curse, and lightning resistance. The problem is that the shiny gold of the paladin set looks terrible with the Black Iron chest. I look like a freaking Steelers fan. Anyone have any other armor recommendations? I just noticed the Way of White(Holy) set...that might work, plus it looks pretty cool. I'm trying to get a little original here, and it helps that I haven't come across another black iron user yet.
