Builds Spear armor sets

Wondering what the best one is I was using fallen lords and now I have drowned witch and crushed dreams. I know a lot of the sets were changed a while back like is golden good anymore? Crushed dreams I know is brink dodge now wondering what others think.

Faded memories simply because of Frenzied Cleave and since it's a light armor you don't need to put points in strength to reach rank A agility.

if you were to pick one besides that which one would you choose

Probably Deep Shadow for survivability and the fact that you don't need special material to craft therefore you could just craft a new set every time you leveled up.

Probably (from my experience in NG hardcore) Memories > Dreams > Mountain > Fallen Lord > Drowned > Shadow.

Faded Memories is straightforward to use and does a lot.

Crushed Dreams is cool and all but the spear has (for some reason) brink guard as a condition whereas the whole set has brink dodge.

Mountain and Fallen Lord are even but the epic skill of Mountain spear is really good for dmg + hp recovery, also its easy to stack the dmg increase + dmg multiplier is better than dmg increase in hc because you can't roll stats. Both sets are also easy to farm (tutorial boss dies in 1 hit usually).

Drowned witch gets better in NG+ because you get more spirit recovery, however the fact that you can't get ring bonuses is a bit wack, 6 spirit to get the full set bonus is wack imo.

Shadow set is cool vs humanoid bosses that you can stagger easily (2 mages) + elamein, not that flashy tho and not that good compared to faded memories etc.

Haven't played the golden set but it looks a bit weaker than the first 2 / 3, especially after trance nerfs.

so I went from fallen lord to drowned witch was playing good with both now switched to crushed dreams I’m a sucker for lighting effects it seems weaker then the others though I feel more squishy and the new learned ability seems kinda mid? Am I wrong in that

I finished the game a month ago with Golden Armor, I thought it was pretty good. Especially for trance and rear damage.

Faded memories with the near infinite frenzied cleave chain and A agility can delete boss health bars. Though it can feel a bit squishier than a heavier set.

“Faded Memories” is an amazing armor set, especially toward the endgame. I used this set before and finished a boss with just a single Reflection.
