1. Miscreant’s Leather

Miscreant’s Leathers is the go-to damage armor in the game due to its high dodge bonuses, -10% recovery time and Light Armor classification.

The Miscreant’s Leather is located in Fort Deadlight and is looted from Benweth.

2. The Devil of Caroc

Only available if your PoE1 history involves the Devil of Caroc dying, this medium breastplate features fast recovery speed, immunity to either Intellect or Constitution afflictions, and passive health regeneration.

Easily the best medium breastplate in the game based on its recover bonus alone, not to mention its other defensive benefits.

Regardless of whether you played Pillars of Eternity 1 or whether the Devil or Caroc survived or not, you’ll want to choose a history the involves the Devil of Caros dying so you can acquire this amazing breastplate.

Sharpshooter’s Garb is the best option for any ranged attacker, bar none. If you have a ranged attacker in your party, which you almost certainly do if you have a balanced party, you’re going to want to seek out this armor in particular.

It reduces reload times with Arbalest, Arquebus and Crossbow attacks by 20%. A must have for anyone using The Red Hand Arquebus.

If you have Maia in your party, which you absolutely should, this is going to be the best-in-slot armor for her. Luckily for you, she comes with it equipped.

4. Reckless Brigandine

Reckless Brigandine is the main option you’re going to want to have on your tank.

It offsets the Heavy Armor attack speed penalty with a bonus to attack speed based on how many targets are currently engaged, and it provides a significant damage bonus that scales upward as health decreases (up to 20%).

The Reckless Brigandine is dropped by the Death Guard Fanatic in the Forgotten Catacombs.

5. Hearth Defender’s Scale

Hearth Defender’s Scale is a medium armor that provides a massive significant defensive buffs to any party member within 5m that has a positive relationship with the Watcher.
