The Arbearer’s Set offers slightly more Physical defense, which is going to help since you will be fighting in melee most of the time! The Mendicant King’s Set on the other hand offers good Physical defense but also better Magick defense. You could even try a combination of both sets. Complete the Setup with the Synod’s Bell Jar Talisman for an extra boost to Courage.
