All nonbasic armours are shit, except the Black Iron Set and the Giants Set (and that's only because there ARE no basic heavy sets). Any set that can be upgraded to +10 will ALWAYS be better than the special ones that are forced to cap out at +5. It's simply a matter of raw stats. Same goes for weapons; a +15 standard weapon with a buff on it will always be better than any other type of weapon, whether it's a boss weapon or an ascended weapon (neither of which can be buffed), although weapons at least have moveset to distinguish them. I consider the numbers imbalance in favour of "boring but practical" to be one of the biggest flaws in Dark Souls' balance.
