Piece it together. Get effects from all the armor by wearing pieces from each set. You don't need a full set of armor to get the effect from the armor, just one piece. It's global <IE: if you get knights armor, one piece, you still get the overall reduction>. Unless you're going full set for "looks" then I suggest piecing them together with runes for max results.

My personal preference is the Dragon set. Maybe it's just me, but there is only one enemy in the game that hits me physically for a lot of damage. Every spell in the higher end areas hit me for a lot more than physical attacks.

While preference is good, May I suggest practicality? I mean, piecing it together gets the same effects as wearing a full suit with the upside you don't NEED the full suit for the effects. Of course, you won't look fully completed as one set of armor, which is a "vanity" draw-back, but as you said, it really comes down to preference, in the long run. <Also try UW, and minos<aatxes --> They hurt ^_^>

The "full benefit from one piece" thing is only true of Knight's (and Ascalon) armor. There's still a decision to make about whether to fill out the rest of your suit with 85+10 armor, or 80+20+energy Gladiator's.

Ah sorry, I consider the one knight piece common knowledge... meant it with a full suit of dragon. However the helmet can vary.
