Best Armor In Elden Ring

gamespot.com:

In Elden Ring, your survival can often come down to what sort of armor you're wearing. While the right weapon takes precedence over an armor set, players will still have a rough time in the Lands Between if they're not pairing their armor correctly with their overall build. There are several categories that armor sets can be broken up into. Obviously, there are sets compatible with melee and magic characters.
