So me being the nerd I am, and liking all three of these sets, I decided to find out which one was the best!

Dragonslayer Set:
- The Dragonslayer's Set (Ornstein's), is a fairly balanced armor set with good bleed resistance and poise. Although it's dark, poison, and curse are lowest of the three it's decent weight makes up for it. Overall it is not a terrible set but maybe not wearing the full set would be a smarter idea.
Black Knight Set:
- The Black Knight set is something that I find to be slightly disappointing. It does however have the best Physical Defense, Fire Resistance, and Curse resistance out of the three sets. It also has the lightest weight of the three (Only .8 less though, so nothing too notable). But it does not make up for its severe lack in almost every other type of defense. It looks great, but doesn't have any bite.
Silver Knight Set:
- The silver knight set seems to be the best of the three. However, it lacks in its physical resistance, fire defence, and its weight (being 2.1 units heavier than Dragonslayer's). Overall this set would be good with player with slightly higher Vitality and Vigor (to make up in the lack of Physical Resistance).

Dragonslayer:
- Only notably bad thing is the Dark Resistance. Other than that is looks all good. Only .5 away from being the same level as Silver Knight so maybe it could be used as a replacement.
Black Knight:
- Awful. There are so many reds. I would just consider not using these gauntlets.
Silver Knight:
- Weight, Poise, and Fire defense are lacking, but other than that it looks pretty good.

Dragonslayer:
- Honestly really bad. It's Lightning and Bleed are the only things that are notably better.
Black Knight:
- Arguably the best piece of the Black Knight set, only lacking in thrust and Lightning defense.
Silver Knight:
- Not fantastic, but not terrible. It's weight is still a problem.

Overall Judgement:
Although Very close, the Silver and the Silver/ Black combo barely beat it by .5 points! I would use this set in combat! But beware thrusting weapons! I will probably stick with this and build up some Vitality and use Havel's ring along with Favour and Protection.
