Sage Set

Although, you will be starting with the Astrologer set which is also a pretty good lightweight armor. But Sage Set will push the boundaries for the gameplay experience under the Astrologer class. Sage set fits the environment and the performance aspect of the class, thus allowing players to make the most out of their gameplay.

Negation. Sage set offers values of 25.9 for Magic, 24.2 for Fire, and 24.9 for Light Damage Negation. Considering these stats, early-level players can easily start off an overpowered character early in the game. 

What makes this set best for Astrologer build is the lightweight and boost effects for Vitality and Focus Resistance. As a magic build, you will need a lot of defensive strategies to gain resistance from instant death after the battle and boss fights.

Value	36.9	38.3	36.7	30.3		28.2	27.9	24.7	29.3
