Heavy Armor Sets (Dark Souls III)



Armor is a type of equipment in Dark Souls III.

For categorization purposes on this wiki, Heavy Armor Sets are armor sets in Dark Souls III that have a total weight of 30 or more.

Characteristics
Heavy armor sets, such as Havel's Set are good for tanking because of their high defense. They allow for moderate to high damage to be taken without killing the player, however no armor set can make the player invincible, so caution is still your best defense.

Heavy sets, while they provide high defense also make moving and rolling much harder. Havel's Ring and the Ring of Favor increase Maximum Equip Load, thus possibly allowing for faster rolling.

Again, strong armor does not make a player invincible. So focus and concentration can still trump having heavy armor.
