Depends, are you going to have 13 or higher strength always? If not go with the plate.

im mostly a stanced warrior, so i hardly have other 13 but lookin at sents, having the helm and a minor STR rune thats +2, so all i'd need is 11 which is doable...

Depending on how much you will be using stances.

I would recommend Legionnaire's Armor +90al +20phy (while in stance) if you use stances liberally, if you don't, just stick with Platemail.

You should not consider Sentinel's Armor as your first or only set of armor as it restricts your options.

Neither!

I still stand by, Wep helment, Damage Reduc boots, everything else glads. Aside from that maybe wep helment, dam red boots, plate everythign else for non physical. When u invest in a set of armour you generally want to have some useable in all situations, it gets cumbersome using multiple sets other than swapping helmets for different weps. Sometimes you run things that don't need stances, and generally the higher energy pool is very useful.

Dreadnoughts, imo, is the best armor in the game. It offers the highest universal AL with no drawbacks, costs, etcetera. 90 Armor. 90. NINE ZERO. Thats big. Thats like... Elvis big.

I used Dragon/Wyvern for a large part of my Tyrian experience. Only when I had farmed enough to have funds to start buying multiple 15k pieces did I discover the benefit of different sets. But, by all means, Dreadnoughts/Plate is a GREAT set to start with.

Of course, I do also agree with above poster. Glads armor is delightful. But don't forget, you can mix and match.

Personally, I wear FoW Weaponhelm, FoW Knights boots, FoW Dragon Gloves (Or FoW Stoneskin Gauntlets), and switch my Chest/Legs. It works really nicely, seeing as Chest/Legs offer the only reasonable benefits.

If you insist on getting a full suit, I say Dreadnoughts/Plate/Dragon. Otherwise, mix and match. Not only does Mix/match offer more versatility, but you look at least somewhat unique, when you throw on some radical dyes.
