Armour with my Redguard/nightblade build

Dwermer

Hi
I am looking for advice about my build, especially armour setup to give me best protection
I am still clueless about how to make a set...how to use the craft to build a good set and how to use stones/traits for best protection

Am a levl 42 char atm and I can make leather gear in my craft, but as i proceed, it would be good to get a better idea how to make a good set for myself....and possibly others

Any advice etc, would be great
Thanks

when you mean "best protection", do you mean when tanking or just in general? intuitively, heavy armour has the best protection all around.

when leveling my melee/physical damage characters, i wear 5 pieces of leather, 1 heavy and 1 light for general open world questing. this is to get the benefit from the leather's stamina passives and also to keep my heavy and light lines leveling as i grind. for tanking, i run 5 heavy, 2 leather or 2 light. for my magicka based characters, 5 light, 1 heavy, 1 medium for leveling etc. etc.

i can't comment on your crafting question i'm not sure if you're asking how to level crafting or what sets to go for..

i dps with dual and sometimes bow... i usually wear all leather/stam (if poss) and one chest heavy, but i was wondering about the stones to use in my armour ie infuse, well fitted etc and which ones i should use in my armour or does irt not matter... am mainly questing and dungeons?
thanks

for dps gear i like devines to boost my warrior mundus buff. tanking, i'd probably take the one that increases armour (forgot the name).
