As you might already be aware that Elden Ring’s armors are not individual items. But they are made up of items like Gloves, Gauntlets, Helmets, and Chest Pieces. You will have to obtain these items to complete the armor set for the Astrologer class.

Moreover, the Astrologer class builds focus heavily on Intelligence and Mind to use the Sorceries and cast the Spells. For that instance, you will need to find specific armor sets that will benefit these stats through attributes or bonus effects for your build. With that said, let’s discuss the top 10 Astrologer armors that you can obtain for your desired playstyle. 

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. 

Unfortunately, the Sage set is not ideal for Physical Damage Negation. But what this set lacks in the Physical Damage it makes up for is Magic, Fire, and Light Damage

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.

This is because your character will heavily rely on the weapon incantations and Spells to deal magic damage to the enemies. On the other side, it is essential to keep a safe side from the incoming strikes by faster dodge and movements. 

Snow Witch Armor Set

Like Sage set you will not have to worry about Physical Damage Negation. This is because you will be playing magic-focused playthrough to make use of Staffs dishing out damage and completely obliterating enemies. Snow Witch set is one particular armor that will greatly benefit players in defensive needs for gameplay.

As for the looks, Snow Witch armor gives the looks of a supreme sorcerer. Apart from the looks, Snow Witch set stands out for Astrologer builds because of the unique effect on Cold Sorceries. The complete set comprises four armor pieces that include Helmet, Chest Piece, Gauntlets, and Leg Armor. However, the Helmet piece will grant 10% more Cold Sorcery effect to deal more damage to the enemies.

Crucible Axe Set

Crucible Axe is a heavy-weight armor entry in the best Astrologer armor. Unlike previous sets, Crucible Axe makes up for both Physical and Magical Damage defenses. Since your Astrologer character will not invest heavily in Endurance, which is important for the Poise and resistances, Crucible Axe set will yield the best stats that go hand in hand for both Strength and Mage-focused builds.
