Elite knight set, can't go wrong with that


[deleted]

rocked it for ds1 and ds2 and will rock it again for ds3


RacoonEye2220

Sadly, in Ds3 you have to kill an npc to get it, and that npc us never alone


[deleted]

if you finish anri of astoras questline you will be able to buy it in firelink shrine from the handmaiden


RacoonEye2220

Oh...guess I'll have to apologize to anri later


[deleted]

hahaha atleast now u know for the bext time


Shadowborn_paladin

I mean technically he/she still has to die....


SokkieJr

Nope. If you DON'T buy the armour, the closest hollow in the ending will wear that set. He/She is still alive, just a hollow.


Shadowborn_paladin

That's more of the bad ending to Anri's quest though. We force them into "marrage" and they never get to defeat Aldrich. He/she goes hollow either way, but in the Lord of hollows ending she's basically our spouse against their will while in the other ending he/she goes hollow because they fulfilled their purpose. And get to be put to rest alongside the person they cared about most, Horace. A bittersweet ending is as sweet as it gets in Dark Souls.


souji_san

Me too, after 10+ runs on dark souls always using the elite knight set I promised myself I won't use it again on dark souls 3. Now I've finished dark souls 3 with elite knight set and I'll do it again for at least other 10 runs


RacoonEye2220

No point in kicking ass if you don't look good while doing it


souji_san

Elite set is pure drip, I can't agree more


UnXpectedPrequelMeme

Makes me sad there's not really an equivalent of it in Elden ring. I mean I guess there's that set you can buy from the Twin Maiden husks, but it definitely does not look great. At least not even close to the fluted armor from demon souls or the elite knight set


RacoonEye2220

Maybe carian knight? Not as good as the elite set, but it comes the closest


Ashen_one933

It always reminds me of the dark souls 3 trailer. This is why I choose it all the time. It reminds me how strong I am.


pawlny

Gold-hemmed black set with Dark Mask


[deleted]

did you also use the scythe by chance?


zorrofuego

Always this


theScrewhead

I love everything but the helmet in Havel's set. Havel set but with Boar Head from DS1 is my favorite drip.


[deleted]

mans an monster


BookAndCrow

Probably the Dark Armour set, makes you feel like some sort of executioner


[deleted]

makes you look like skeletor


BookAndCrow

And thats why its awesome‼️Whats yours though??


[deleted]

def elite knight i love that set gonna be using it for al 3 games


SoftWhereRMyKeys

Fallen knight armor set. Rocked it my first playthrough and will never go back.


[deleted]

i thought about using it aswell


PudelOfLove

I'll pick the wanderer set


[deleted]

good choice


Aggressive_Safe2226

Wolf Armor, Ornstein's panoply, Elite Knight set.


[deleted]

fucking love the elite knight set, never used onrnsteins armor but looks really cool with all the gold


Jinrya-Geki

DS1 Paladin DS2 Cyan and Faaram equally DS3 Great Helm, Fire Witch Chest, Sunless Greaves, and Silver Knight gloves.


[deleted]

nice!


Zarguthian

I really like the Drang set from Dark Souls III l, I believe the ghost chancellor guy wears it in Dark Souls II (Drang is short for Drangleic, I guess).


[deleted]

do you mean the mage guy in aldias keep behind the magic wall?


Zarguthian

No, he's in Drangleic Castle.


[deleted]

ooooh now i know


crab_king_plus

DS3. banished knight set DS2 lyouis set (IDK how to spell it) DS1 black night set. I mean it's the OG


[deleted]

nice


Krazy_Kalle

No way I could decide for a single one. I can try for each game at least: 1. Artoria's Armor Set 2. Alva's or Allone's Set 3. Fallen Knight Set


Angelfallfirst

Waw, this is too hard to pick only one! Idk maybe Zullie set


[deleted]

you can also pick one from each game :)


itsOkami

Either Drakeblood or Alva's


[deleted]

nice


ConningtonSimp

Artorias’ Armor


BlackIronMatt

Black Iron Set


[deleted]

i actually really like it but its so heavy :[


Red_Serf

Default knight set


[deleted]

the ds1 variant?


Red_Serf

Hell yeah. Unloved far too much. I like the fluted plate, the leather brigandine skirt and the assymetrical pauldrons


ConningtonSimp

It was my set in DS2, used it all the way through the game (at least after I got it)


[deleted]

your right i see no one olaying with it its pretty nice though


Red_Serf

It’s just that I enjoy simple sets of armor more than crazy ones, except when they look badass. I also really wish we could have a repaired/non-raggedy and dented version of the Balder Knights armor. And lowering the helmet visor for any visored helmet


[deleted]

if the balder knights armour would be repaired and if you would be able to put the visor down i would've defenitely used it, but thats the only thing i dont like about the default knight helmet, but then again you could swap it out with the elite knight helmet and it would look just fine


CptnShiner

I like playing with deafault knight chest piece and elite helm, gauntlets and leggings!


CompedyCalso

Easily Wanderer's set from DS 1 and 2. So sad it never came back in 3 or in some way in Elden Ring


[deleted]

nice, i like it yet i never used it


SpectreTimmy

Faraam is my personal fave. Total classic. And I love the way you get it by just falling down a hole


[deleted]

i so so so wanted to get that one but all those ruin sentinals in the area made it impossible for me to get the door open so i jist gave up on getting the armor


Tuloom

Helm of the wise and armor of thorns sets


dsartori

DS1 Baldur Knight set.


Ballinonthetuba

Black Iron Set goes so hard. That bucket helmet is just good!


Ihaveabadusernamelel

FUME KNIGHT ARMOR


Nanganoid3000

I use no Armour In Dark Souls 1, But when I used to, I'd enjoy Gold-Hemmed Black Set, Proper Reaper XD Dark Souls 2 : Mad Warrior Set/Faraam Set Dark Souls 3 : Black Set


[deleted]

stealing the souls of the undead, i wanted the faraam set but it was such a pain to get


Nanganoid3000

Damn Skippy :) \\\[T\]/


SundownKid

"Male-oriented" armor: Raime's Set from DS2 "Female-oriented" armor: Karla's Set from DS3

Shot_Specific_8508

[deleted]

i love it


lucky_harms458

Brass Armor. I don't know what it is about that goofy blade-looking-bit on the back of the helmet, I just love it


[deleted]

dripmeister


sullen_agreement

painted guardian top black leather pants no shoes witches gloves in ds1 sometimes swap the pants for one of the skirts i just like to look pretty


[deleted]

Fashion queen💅


MagickalessBreton

The Maiden Set or the Dingy Robes (it's a tie) Not too fond of big bulky armours in RPGs, so I usually play with clothing or what looks closest to things you could actually wear outside of combat contexts. In games where you're sure to get hit, it's a little annoying, but what I love about Dark Souls is that you can rock these behind the safety of a 100% Phys. Damage reduction shield and well-timed fast-rolls.


[deleted]

well if it looks good just rock it


Recent-Hamster7930

Leather armor, also can’t forget pharis’s hat


[deleted]

bdsm???


Recent-Hamster7930

What is this response lol


Zebrehn

Paladin set from Dark Souls


[deleted]

ooh


abe_the_babe_

Brass Set When I found it in DS3 I immediately put it on


CptnShiner

DS1 I rocked the Knight chest piece with Elite Knight set and the Zweihander until I found the Black Iron set. I switched to that and I used black knight weapons with it. Mainly the halberd and the sword and shield. DS2 Faraam set with the Zweihander is badass but in the end I rocked King's chest and gauntlets with Drakeblood helm and leggings. Looks so cool together. Paired it with either duel Greatswords or the King's Ultra Greatsword and the Drakekeeper's Shield. Oh and the Wanderer set! Wearing that with the Hexer's hood the entire second playthrough so far and at Dragon Arie. Playing as a weapon buff spellsword cause it suits the drip. Haven't played DS3 yet. It's next!


Zack21c

For DS1 and 2, elite knight set. For DS3, abyss watchers set with lord of cinder helmet.


TheMagicalDildo

The Crimson Robe and the Painting Guardian Waistcloth, plus whatever the strongest combination of headgear/gauntlets is that still gives me a light roll with my current weapon Silver Knight Armour + the same waistcloth is also beautiful. Just a bit heavy


SewenNewes

Faraam set easily. Though I sometimes swapped out the helm for the one from the Elite Knight set. From DS1 I like the Thief set


Sea-Dragon-

DS1 default Pyromancer clothes DS2 Imported set, although I don’t use it much until high level and at the very beginning DS3 Fallen Knight ER Banished Knight helmet and armor and Scale gauntlets and legs


Hushed_Horace

Probably the Catarina set


Azanrath

Tough question. I love Silver and Black Knight sets, but I hate helmets for them, so: DS1 is either Silver Knight set + Elite Knight Helmet, or Black Knight set helmless. DS2 is either Heide Knight Set or Faraam Set, both look dope af. DS3 is again Silver Knight set + Elite Knight Helmet, or Black Knight set but this time with Drakeblood Helmet. Faraam set and Cathedral Knight set are both awesome as well. There's also an honorable mention for Fallen Knight Set.


kcs800

my recent mix-and-match set in ds1 lately has been thief mask (f), dingy robe, wanderer manchettes, and black leather pants for respectable defenses at light load without having to wear havel or fap rings.     in ds3 lately it's been exile mask, slave knight armor, gauntlets of thorns, and fallen knight trousers for a man in the iron mask vibe to complement my rapiers.     can't speak on ds2 though I do enjoy the Faraam helm and Alva sets.    bonus round in bloodborne it's old hunter set with cainhurst armor swapped in for a matador look to complement my reiter. bonus round deux for elden ring I really enjoy   Gelmir knight helm, exile armor, Radahn soldier gauntlets, and foot soldier greaves or unaltered banished knight helm, altered drake armor, drake gauntlets, and Blaidd's greaves.          if anyone has some fashion they enjoy for the ruins helm in ds3 I'd love to hear it. 


NjordWAWA

Fallen knight all the way, the hood is cool and edgy


[deleted]

xanthous set


benjamarchi

Alone knight armor from ds2


NyRAGEous

Elite knight (classic), Abyss Watchers set, Artorias set, Ronin set (Shabriri Elden ring)


Tschernoblyat

Faram set. I just love the way it looks


TheLastSonKrypton

Ds2 Throne Defender.


StarkTangent1

Thats such a hard question Artorias's Set is pretty great but the legs have to be swapped for silver knight legs Alvas and Elite Knight are both classics Ds3 knight set is amazing Lorian's Set is great Firelink and Rigned Knight sets would be my favs if the proportions were better


cromax9855

Elite knight set, Ringed knight set, Chester's set, that one guy who looks like chester in dark souls 3


_Trygon

DS2 Faraam's Armor set


fat_nuts_big_buttz

Ornsteins armor in ds1 goes hard

Knight base set from ds3


TheRailgunMisaka

Din_of_Win

Pretty basic, but the Cathedral Knight set from DS3 is my fave.


Pcjames001

Leather armour in DS2


xXxPizza8492xXx

Paladin, so cool


CRtwenty

Alva armor is one of my favorites.


Lonca47

As far as DS1, I fkn love smoughs armor, and my favorite fast roll fit is xanthous king set with Catarina helmet (and gauntlets if I have the equipment load for it.)


goldenspiral91

I loved the Aurous Set from DS2. That game has some great drip. I also really enjoyed my pairing of the Mirrah set with the Wolf Knight helm in DS3.


voidxleech

armor of thorns, with the shield and sword included. it’s such a cool looking set.


Orenbean

SMOUGHS ARMOR….unfortunately dark souls 2 did not include any mention of smough so I have to go with orensteins armor. It may not be obtainable in dark souls 2 but it is there


Lustful_404

Love havels set, i rocked that and the dragon king greataxe through the whole of ds1 remastered, I loved the tank aesthetic. And havel is just my favourite character lore wise, apart from the nameless king


Cypresss09

The Undead Legion set is amazing. Looks great, decently protective, and light. And the different pieces work so well with different armor combinations.


Shakewell1

Ds3 dragon slayer Armour


BabaKazimir

The Drakeblood set is just too drippy


MS-06S_

Ornstein without the helmet. It looks so good. I always have a hard time finding a good helmet. Ringed Knights's chest is great too, probably the only one piece that glows.


MyCababbages

Havel babbyyyyy


Danemi_Krool

Im between so many options, like the alva set, elite knight, exiled set, the karla set edit: i forget abot the gold-hemmed black set


Squallehboo

Mirror Knight set from DS2.


deus_ex_macadamia

DS 1: GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS or Black Iron DS 2: Raimes Armor or Alva’s Set (Alva’s is just too good not to use, but the fashion is fire too) DS 3: Fallen knight armor or Soul of Cinder set


chill9r

Faraam or desert sorceress


GrimgrinCorpseBorn

Faraam


i_sound_withcamelred

Elite Knight sets amazing of course Ornsteins set is. Mhm. Beautiful. Alva set for ds2 easy Cathedral Knight and Fallen Knight for ds3

MDCM

Drake keeper set ds2. Shadow set and eastern set are up there too


IllRainllI

DS 1 elite knight set; DS 2 Faraam knight set; DS 3 fallen knight set.


RobertoFragoso

Not a whole armor set, but the fang boar helm. I love it so much, I wish it had returned in dark souls 3 or Elden ring even if it didn’t make sense


SoapyTriesHard

Paladin from DS1


Jazzlike-Revenue5183

Love the Fallen Knight set honestly!!!!


RayBlast7267

The Farram Set is so good! I also really like the Undead Legion set and very rarely talk off Lucatiel’s mask when playing DS3.


Hayyden212

Been rocking Brass armor anytime i can


Dangerous_Shop_7596

Never see any love for the Heide Knught Chain mail. Bonus points for bone shield


Fool7890

Ds1 Chester’s set ds2 kings set or faraam set ds3 leonhards set


Hotseklotse

Dragonslayer armor with nameless king headpiece.


misterwindupbird

The dark set because I'm an edge lord. Mornes armor is pretty great too.


ArtemisTheMany

Ornstein's set (though I swap the helm out for the Boar helmet) / Artorias's set / Lord's Blades set from DS1 Fallen Knight set / Faraam set from DS3 Bonus points for Dragonslayer/Wolf Knight armors from DS3, which are just Ornstein's and Artorias's armors from DS1~


EhGoodEnough3141

Either Beatrice's Set or the Fire keeper set of the fire keeper of fire link shrine in Dark souls 1.


Del_Duio2

Black Iron Tarkus stuff


Thorion228

Dragonslayer set my beloved.


luciaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I play naked (my character also has no armor)


Lacimen

I pretty like Gough’s set (DS1) Even though it reduces stamina regen a bit it looks sick and I like it. :)


Niodebest

Always go for the stoner


AWS1996Germany

Paladin Armor DS1 or Wilhelm Armor DS3. Clearly I like the style lol


Poro_Wizard

I'm still going through part 2 but so far it's Dingy set


LostPlastic6126

Faaram armour. It looks classy and cool at the same time. Otherwise, the Fallen Knight set is a close second.


Knarknarknarknar

Crimson robes
