Help with armour

Right on my new PvP build, I can use a total of 42 equip weight.

On weapons I'm gonna have used up 13.3 weight so I got 28.7 left for armour.

What suggestions you got guys?

eastern? its better to mix and match, dingy robe for sure and whatever else you want that has some poise.

don't have dingy robe i just kill lautrec straight away now :|

What i know i can do is elite knight, black iron leggings and paladins gauntlets no head, but paladin gauntlets look pretty lame with the rest..

though if you got any setups you'd recommend for not much weight im happy to hear them (since you use heavy weapons)

Something cool.

wish i could, but i dont have smoughs chest to match with my boars helm unfortunately :|

If you haven't already, upgrade a bunch of armors and mix and match til you find something good.

I'm asking so that I don't have to upgrade a bunch of armours since i still gotta level up to 120 still and cant be bothered to grind out and farm that long really (yes i know i'm being lazy )

Knight chest, black iron greaves, and steel gauntlets 10.8/9.2/8.3 = 28.3. sub steel with clerics if you want a mask/crown. looks decent, 50 ish poise 350ish defence. (might be disturbing on a male as it looks suspiciously like plate mail combined with a skirt/tights)

Think I'll give that set a try, Could you recommend me another gauntlet type thats similar weight to clerics? I can't get those since i accidentally told patches i was a cleric

I used many combinations with Crimson and Gold hemmed sets. Paladin or stone gauntlets look pretty sweet with either although the stone in particular will tax your weight. Channeler's waistcloth is a good substitute for either set to for looks and additional protection. Wanderer's hood upgraded made it into my final mix and match armor set.

catarina. i think its a bit of a ding though..when/if you get around sl120 i'll give you a pair(of cleric gauntlets).
my mains dex/iaito so med/heavy armors my specialty

ah thank you for your kindness

using those will let me wear my vanity head gear

if your elite knight has 20 poise then go with elite, i wear reg knight cause my version got screwed.

weighs too much, knights is more efficient with his limit. the gauntlets get to sucking below that so they cant drop and the black iron is over 1/3 of his defence/poise.

Yeah Rant the weight I got I can't use my Elite knight set so the knight will have to do

looks okay anyway since my character is kinda skinny so wont make him look like a fatty XD

i wear, onon helm, black cleric robe, and black iron gaunlets and greaves. it looks awesome, thats my gravelord toon.

lol usually I have the spare weight to do that but... DS spear weighs a *** load

by the way the set weights 26.8 total, with 44 poise.

51 poise 27.3lbs

also i always go for looks, if it looks awesome and has good stats even beter.

his, mines knights chest@black iron gauntlets/Greaves, mom. 30.4lbs 56 poise
(imo) it looks awesome with black knights chest but i cant spare the weight with this build. better still if i also add the dusk crown but taking a hornets ring, lightning zwie bs and living is too good to pass up.

I personally prefer having medium body armour and mixing it up like that, I don't think having light armour with fat leggings looks good though onion helm i think looks silly too XD

ah well i reckon the set pirates recommended me looks good in my mind, only know how separate pieces look but assembled think it will look good, stats seem pretty mean too

division ftw. lol.

onion helm is awesome dude, i try to wear it on most of my builds. but yeah some people hate it, i personally love the catarina set, the chest not so much though.

It's the marmite of armour

well that and then some people try and find excuses to say they think the masks and Havels/giants actually look good
