Comparison Table for Astrologer Armor Sets.

10. Sage Set

Best Astrologer Armor for Magical Defense.

Sage Set

Stat	Weight	Physical	Slash	Strike	Pierce	Magic	Fire	Light	Holy
Value	9.8	12.4	11.2	11.2	7.1	25.9	24.2	24.9	25.9

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. 

9. Snow Witch Armor Set

Best Astrologer Armor for Cold Sorceries boost.

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. 

Stat	Weight	Physical	Slash	Strike	Pierce	Magic	Fire	Light	Holy
Value	10.4	10.1	11.6	11.6	7.9	25	25	24.7	25

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.

Speaking of damage, Snow Witch set grants 25 for Magic, Holy, and Fire Damage Negation. Meanwhile, players will also gain 24.7 for Lightening. These stats show that the complete set is a must-have during the battle with your worst enemies and boss fights. 

8. Crucible Axe Set

Best Astrologer Armor for Balanced Defense.

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 Poise and resistances, Crucible Axe set will yield the best stats that go hand in hand for both Strength and Mage-focused builds.

Stat	Weight	Physical	Slash	Strike	Pierce	Magic	Fire	Light	Holy
Value	36.9	38.3	36.7	30.3		28.2	27.9	24.7	29.3

Fire Damage Negation will push your character’s defenses even further. Not just that but Crucible Axe set also adds a 3.5% damage boost to the Aspect of the Crucible Incantations. These Incantations are dropped by the Crucible Knight Ordovis that is also wearing the Crucible Axe set. 

7. Queen of the Full Moon Set

Best Astrologer Armor for Highest Mage Defense.

Queen of the Full Moon set is another Astrologer armor that grants defensive stats and unique effects to your character. The cherry on top is the fashion statement, especially for the Astrologer class.

Although it will involve a story progression to obtain. But, it is surely worth the wait for your ideal sorcerer-style playthrough. 

Stat	Weight	Physical	Slash	Strike	Pierce	Magic	Fire	Light	Holy
Value	11.1	12.3	9.9	9.9	6.9	29.7	27	27.7	28.6

Queen of the Full Moon set is also a four-piece armor set that specializes in offering the best Magic and Fire Damage Negation to players. 

As said earlier, acquiring the full set will involve story progression until Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon boss fight. You will be defeating the queen as a part of the storyline quest. Next, you will have to purchase it from the Enia in the Roundtable Hold. 

6. Raya Lucarian Sorcerer Set

Best Early-Game Astrologer Armor.

When it comes to the Astrologer armor sets, the Raya Lucarian Sorcerer’s set is not an exception. It is the prime choice of players that are seeking mage character builds in the game.

Stat	Weight	Physical	Slash	Strike	Pierce	Magic	Fire	Light	Holy
Value	13.1	10.9	13.5	7	9	16.5	23.5	11.5	20.9

Despite the heavy helmet, the full set of the Raya Lucarian is a lightweight armor with the best stats for early-level players. Plus, it offers balanced values for Physical and Magic Damage defenses making it the perfect choice to go for under Astrologer class. 

Apart from the bulky Karolos Glintstone helmet, the robe and manchettes give a unique characteristic to your Astrologer build. 

5. Azur’s Glintstone Set

Best Astrologer Armor for Medium To Higher-Level Magical Defense.

This four-piece armor gives a greenish hellish look, that will keep the enemies away at the safe distance. 

Stat	Weight	Physical	Slash	Strike	Pierce	Magic	Fire	Light	Holy
Value	11.8	10.9	9.8	5.5	9.8	24.6	20.2	20.6	22

On the other side, the complete set goes hand in hand with the Astrologer Mage builds because of the creative texture and coloring on the armor. Even better are the stats for the medium-higher-level players.

4. Alberich’s Set

Best Astrologer Armor for Mage Builds.

Alberich’s Set is the one particular armor available in the game that is an all-rounder for Mage character builds.

If that does not grab your attention, then the Glintstone on the set surely will. This is because these Glintstones represent the blood of the character of the sacrifice has made that will boost the Sorceries. 

Stat	Weight	Physical	Slash	Strike	Pierce	Magic	Fire	Light	Holy
Value	9.7	11.4	11.4	8.9	11.4	27.9	25.8	27.1	27.9

3. Spellblade Set

Best Astrologer Armor for Beginners.

Spellblade Set

As the name implies, Spellblade Set enhances the magic and frost weapon damage up to 2%. Sadly, you will not gain any boosts for Spells for this particular armor.

However, it will make up for the unique effect by offering ideal Damage Negation stats early on in the game. If that still does not amuse you, then you should definitely consider the Glintstone sorceries boost on all pieces.

Stat	Weight	Physical	Slash	Strike	Pierce	Magic	Fire	Light	Holy
Value	8.6	9.2	9.2	6.1	9.2	27.6	24.6	25.7	27.6

2. Blackflame Monk Set

Best Looking Astrologer Armor.

Blackflame Monk Set

Blackflame Monk can easily become the best Astrologer armor. Thanks to the best defensive stats and easily accessible location, Blackflame Monk is the prime choice among players that seek Mage builds under Astrologer class. 

Stat	Weight	Physical	Slash	Strike	Pierce	Magic	Fire	Light	Holy
Value	27	28.9	31.2	24.1	27.7	21.3	28	16.5	21.3

One of the best farming locations is the Divine Tower of Caelid. Here you will have to gain access to the basement. This process is going to involve parkour, so watch your step to avoid dying while making progress. Farm on the Blackflame Monk until you obtain all four armor pieces. 

1. Carian Knight Set

Best All Rounder Astrologer Armor.

Stat	Weight	Physical	Slash	Strike	Pierce	Magic	Fire	Light	Holy
Value	23.5	25.8	27	23.6	28.5	27	28.5	20.6	25.8

The Carian Knight set might look more like a warrior armor set. But it is an all-rounder for both Physical and Magical defenses. Worn by the enchanted Knights of the Carian Royal Family, the complete set is a medium-weight armor set that stands out among all sets. 

Here is the complete guide on how you can obtain the full set of Carian Knight armor. Follow each step to easily get the armor early in the game and enhance your defenses for the worst enemy encounters in Elden Ring. 

Why Others Were Not Choosen?

1. Errant Sorcerer Set: Lacks versatility and unique features, may be less aesthetically appealing to some players.
2. Imp Head (Cat): Limited protective attributes and lack of cohesive set bonuses makes it less optimal for astrologer-specific roles compared to other available options.
3. Lusat’s Set: Considered less desirable due to its weight, potentially impacting mobility.
4. Mushroom Set: Offers minimal protection, making it suitable for specific scenarios like the Lake of Rot.
5. Lionel’s Set: Heavy and looks too bulky, which doesn’t match the preferred light and magical style of the class.
6. Redmane Knight Set: Heavy weight and lack of focus on the required attributes, making it less suitable for the mystical requirements of an Astrologer.

What Would I Recommend?

I would highly recommend the Snow Witch Armor Set. This set not only strikes an impeccable balance between magical damage negation and offensive capabilities but also stands out with its unique Cold Sorceries bonus. 

Alternatively, for those who prioritize a combination of accessibility and top-tier defensive capabilities, my recommendation would be more towards the Blackflame Monk Set. This armor set not only excels in providing the best defensive stats for Astrologer builds but also offers ease of access in the Divine Tower of Caelid.
