Elden Ring features a great variety of armor sets that will cater to most players' wants and needs regarding both protection and style. The Sage Armor Set is a three-piece set reminiscent of Ingward's armor from Dark Souls, a previous FromSoftware game. Although not the best in terms of pure protection, it has a unique look and is lightweight, which more than makes up for it. The Sage Armor set also provides good defense against sleep and bouts of madness due to a high Focus as well as instant death effects due to high Vitality.
Much like some previous FromSoftware games, the player's weight in Elden Ring can affect the fluidity of their movements and dodge roll animations. At 30% or less equip load, players will perform light rolls, which are very fast, then from 30% to 70%, they will change to medium, and more than that will make them heavy and very slow to recover from. If players somehow achieve more than 100% of their equip load, they will be slowed and become unable to roll at all. Equip load can be increased by raising the endurance stat in Elden Ring or by equipping certain talismans, such as the Arsenal Charm.

All of this is very important when talking about the Sage Armor Set as one of its strongest aspects is that it is lightweight, allowing players to keep their equip load very low. This, in turn, allows players to carry heavier weapons or shields without sacrificing I-frames.
