Personal Thoughts

I had a lot of fun experimenting with different Armor and figuring out the best Armor for each Class. Since my playthroughs were fast-paced, I was always on the lookout for the best Armor to protect me from oncoming foes. However, to get them, I had to grind through Diablo 4 as they were mostly available during the later stages of the game. During the early stages, I focused on gathering resources and good Weapons to complement the Armor.

My absolute best Armor is the Harlequin Crest, Razorplate, Fists of Fate, Temerity, and Penitent Greaves, not only for their unique effects in battle but also because they are available for any Class to use. You can also opt for Frostburn if you want some extra Crowd-Controlling. I hope you enjoyed my list of the Diablo 4 best Armors. And be sure to tweak your Armor choice to better fit your builds.
