Large parts? Small parts? Infused, Divines or Reinforced?

Taryf

Hello,
after changes to Resistance im thinking about improve my set.
Im little confused about traits.
What to use (as tank) Infused, Divines or Reinforced? Or mixed?
Chest, Legs and Shield (all "large elements"?) go with Infused
Sword - Defending
and rest?
Boots, Gloves, Helm, Belt, Shoulders - Reinforced or Divines?

Im really mess up with this and need advice from more experienced players.

The standard of Infused on Large pieces and Divines on Small still seems to be the way to do. At least in PvE. I will suggest that Nirnhorned might be nice on a couple of pieces as I do see a nice boost to magic resist doing that. Guess it depends on what your Mundus does for you.

For a Tank, Reinforced might be nice, but I would think that more Health from Infused would be better tactically. I find Tank gear to be more the set you choose than the Trait you run on them for importance. A cheap way to test would be to make both sets in White, maybe at a lower level than you are to save mats or gold. Then try both sets and see which one works better for you. Your not comparing to what you have in this situation, but each set to each other so you can see the differences. I do this with VR14 stuff before I make it in VR15/16.

I use infused on helm, legs, and chest so probably Divines for everything else but depends how high are your resistances now?

@RebornV3x
Now (before DLC on console) with Volatile Armor skill i got:
Spell Resistance 36053
Physical Resistance 31670

@Nestor
Now i use all enchants to Max Stamina with Mundus to Max Stamina. With 32pts put to HP i dont need more i suppose.
I use whole set of Reinforced with one (or two?) parts with Divines.

EDIT:


With blue (Max HP + Max Stam) food

With image will be easier.

Your close to the Physical Resistance Cap, so no need to really do anything to increase that. I would focus now on whatever you can do to increase the other resources you use. Not sure what the Magic Resistance Cap is, but you have plenty of that too.

Helm is also a major enchant piece.

@Astanphaeus
Sure? Good to know that.

The v16 gold heavy armor values are as followed:

Chest - big enchants slot - 2772 armor (3215 reinforced) > preferred trait: Infused or Reinforced
Head - big enchant slot - 2425 (2813 reinforced) > preferred trait: Infused
Legs - big enchants slot - 2425 (2813 reinforced) > preferred trait: Infused

Shoulders - small enchants slot - 2425 (2813 reinforced) > preferred trait: Reinforced
Feet - small enchants slot - 2425 (2813 reinforced) > preferred trait: Reinforced
Hands - small enchants slot - 1386 (1608 reinforced) > preferred trait: Divines
Waist - small enchants slot - 1039 (1205 reinforced) > preferred trait: Divines

Shield - big enchants slot - 1720 (1995 reinforced) > preferred trait: Infused

To get high resources its best to put Prismatic enchants on Infused pieces, in this case go with Infused on your chest piece as well.
