Elden Ring: Best Armor for Astrologer Builds
FromSoftware’s latest RPG features a lot more magic than previous Souls-type games, with all manner of different spells, incantations, and the new Ashes of War mechanic. A natural class choice for any aspiring sorcerer is the Astrologer, but especially in the early part of the game there’s very little armor and equipment that you’ll come across which is suitable for the build. So, here’s an overview of thebest armor for Astrologer in Elden Ringso that you know what to look out for.
Best Armor for Astrologer Builds in Elden Ring
The first thing you should know about Astrologer armor in Elden Ring is that there really aren’t many armor sets to be found during the early stages of the game specifically for Astrologers/ magic builds, and some that you find actually aren’t as good as the Astrologer cloak set you get as standard. In fact, one key thing to remember about armor in Elden Ring is that armor stats aren’t hugely important in general, let alone for an Astrologer/ magic build. After all, your strategy isn’t to take damage at all — only to avoid incoming attacks and hit back with high damage. Be that as it may, donning armor with decent protection will undoubtedly mitigate potential damage, which is always welcome no matter what class you choose.
Having said all of that, as an Astrologer you’re still free to wear any armor set you find in the game. If you’re new toSouls-type games, don’t be mistaken in thinking that as a magic build you simply can’t equip armor sets that appear as though they are better suited to strength/ dexterity and other more conventional melee builds. You absolutely can. Just make sure your weight doesn’t exceed the threshold to be able to dodge/ roll effectively. Generally speaking, Light Armor pieces are best for Intelligence builds, but you can mix in some heavier stuff so long as the weight doesn’t prevent you from fast rolling.
In all honesty, the standard Astrologer set is all you need for your first 20 or so hours with the game as a magic build. Most of the time, swapping out armor sets is really an aesthetic choice more than it is one for gameplay.
Still, it’s true that later in the game there is better armor available than the standard Astrologer Cloak. Here, we’ll list a few options to either change from the standard set or mix in other armor to enhance various attributes:
