What is the best SET of armor? Not power armor, just normal armor. Is there a quest that gives a full set of either really cool looking armor or armor with really good stats? If so please provide the name of the set.

If you're talking solely about damage resistence, then fully upgraded heavy synth armor plus Mk5 ballistic weave hat and clothing under it would be your best bet. Personally I'm using a heavy leather chest piece, freefall boots, chameleon combat armor left arm and a heavy combat armor right arm, all shadowed, plus a ballistic weave military fatigues and trilby hat. Looking for a better set of arms currently but it isn't hideous to look at.

Full set of legendary Sentinel armor pieces. Extremely difficult to get all pieces, but grants 15% damage reduction per piece when standing still. I only have 4 on my main character and the damage reduction is better than a maxed set of X-01 power armor (survival difficulty). I've tanked legendary Deathclaws standing still, although they knock you back a few yards. You can even survive the insta-kill turrets quite a bit. They can 1-shot you straight through Mk. VI X-01 power armor with max energy resistance, but it takes 4-6 shots to kill me with just a set of 4 (and their accuracy sucks, fortunately). I've also found some Sentinel melee weapons, which I didn't think was possible since a full set of Sentinel armor would give 90% damage reduction. If it still stacks, that's practical invincibility when standing still.

Best defense is a set of casual clothing and a hat with level 5 ballistic weave. No joke.

Elder maxims coat, with rank 4 armorer, have to kill ended maxim of the BoS then loot his body in order to get it.

Well there are good pieces of legendary armor in vendor inventories. If you go to the institute you can get a good helmet and chest piece and helmet. Also if you go to vault 81 you will find good arm pieces.

I already have that stuff. I have good armor but I want to look cool because right now I'm a walking tank that looks like some retard with rusty metal armor.

Edited by Mechetti: 12/1/2015 2:16:55 PMThe best full set of armor, not outfit, is heavy fully upgraded Synth armor.

I have two bolstering (increase defenses up 35+) on my chest and arm synth pieces. Martyrs (time slows at 20% hp) other arm. Then stay boosting rest synth set. Pretty high Courser armor with ballistic weave I believe is pretty high too

Power armor makes you immune anyways

Railroad Heavy Mk. V?
-
How do you get that? I'm with the railroad and have not seen any yet
-
It's not the best, and wearing an outfit isn't the best way to gain max resistance.
-
It also weighs about 50 lbs, so if you're a stealth character, this is NOT the way to go.
-
Depends, I have 3 assassin pairs that are excellent, 2 destroyer pairs, a mantis piece, it just all comes down to the perk.

Good question! !
