New World Armor Sets
Light Armor Sets
Light Armor offers the least Physical protection but provides some defense against Elemental Damage. Light Armor also adds the least to your Equip Load, allowing you to easily stay in the Light state where evading performs a quick roll that covers a lot of distance.

Medium Armor Sets
Medium Armor offers a solid balance between Physical protection and mobility. A full set of Medium armor will keep you within the Normal Equip Load state, allowing you to perform quick hops to evade enemy attacks.

Heavy Armor Sets
Heavy Armor offers the largest bonus to Physical protection at the cost of mobility. Wearing too many Heavy Armor pieces can put you in the Heavy Equip Load state more easily. The Heavy state turns your evade into a slow sidestep that makes it difficult to dodge more agile enemies in combat.
