I think it's the poise/weight ratio that Elite Knight really shines. 1.71 vs 1.44   Since I've already upgraded the balder gauntlets I'll probably stick with that. Haven't decided with helmet. I like the Thief's Mask looks so I might just use that.

Today I found out that a Balder's shield virtually unupgraded with endurance under 20 can absorb both Havel and the Capra demon's attacks so it's going to be hard to part with it after learning that.

I've thought about testing out some larger weapons with two handed grip (before I put more points into str) which would be a use for grass crest shield. Grass crest shield does have better magic and fire res, but that's about it.
