I'm a big fan of juggernaught, and the commanders armor, upgraded to tier7. Since I'm going to templar,spirit warriror with this build, what armor do you think is best? Never tried the knight commanders plate, looked pretty good for spell resistance and, but does it lack somewhat in the defense end of meleeing. The stamina bonus and fire resistance of warden commanders armor I've always favored, what do you think is best however for a sword and shield templar, spirit warrior?

Neither, Awakening will give you Sentinel or Halrols Defense or others.
Also unless you mod your game you cant import Warden Commander armor into Awakening.

I would actualy say Cailens full set or Evons would be better in Origins though.
Hold onto the +40% Spell resist armor though, it can still be situationaly useful.

There is a Templar Armor that gives you 20% magic resistance-you might look at that.

Knight Commander Armor

Templar Armor

Warden Commander

Evon the Greats

Cailan's Armor

Thats for Origins. Of note is to pay attention to the set bonuses for the whole set.

I sort of like to use the Armor of Diligence on my S/S tank, although I also use Varathorn's armor earlier in the game and mix and match with the best boots, gloves, and helmets that I can find.

Knight-Commander's plate has excellent protection but is pretty heavy to wear.  Huge drain on stamina.

Warden Commander's is very good all-round and has good bonuses with the set.  Juggernaut is also very good, especially if you up the resistances with the Ring of Ages.

You do know that wearing Knight Commander and a couple other peices of gear gives you 100% spell immunity and negates the need for resistances like on Juggernaut right?

I dont know why people are ignoring Cailens Armor set and Evons when they are considered the best in Origins.
Also keep in mind you can mix and match peices.

Very true, Cailen's Armor is very good. In previous games it has usually ended up on my 2H warrior -- Sten or Oghren. It gives a 20% boost to dodge, which is great for a lumbering giant like Sten.

Regarding the question of spell immunity, my-top-of-the-list tactic has usually been to paralyze or petrify enemy spellcasters, so armor that negates spells has never been that big of an issue. But with a different approach to tactics the spell immunity could change my mind about using Knight Commander's plate. There is a trade-off, I suppose. Immune to spells but drained of stamina by massive armor. As long as the tactics are set right it can be played either way.

By stamina, I'm assuming that you mean fatigue? That's something that warriors have to deal with, as any decent set of armor will take a toll on your fatigue. A warrior with the full set of sentinel armor will especially look like an arcane warrior with combat magic.

The trick is to look for sets of armor that reduce fatigue. Cailan's armor and any of Wade's sets of armor will give a nice fatigue reduction. Evon the Great's mail mixed with Wade's superior heavy dragonscale is my personal favorite.  http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Evon_the_Great's_Mail

If you're that worried about magic resistance, just equip the spellward amulet along with dweomer runes. While high magic resistance is nice, you don't need 100% immunity, especially if you have a healer mage on hand.

Evon the great's looks apealing, usually I put Maric's armor on allistair, just to make him better, and it kind of goes with the roll playing, Maric was after all his father.

Yes, fatigue.

And sustained talents also will increase the fatigue factor.  Seems to me I once was trying to use 3 or 4 sustained talents for one of my warriors and found that there was only enough stamina left for one activated talent.

And true, sets of armor can reduce the fatigue factor quite considerably.  Though sometimes I find the item set bonuses seem to disappear unless I re-equip the armor every so often.

I've found picking and choosing different pieces works for different roles. For DPS, I usually use Cailan's gloves and boots for the majority of the game. I take the Helm of Honnleath and Battledress of the Provacateur (for the +50 STA and +1 STA regen in combat, it also has 9 armor and less fatigue than anything that has that amount of armor) I can spam out my attacks without caring about running out of stamina ever. Then around level 14 I switch to Warden Commander armor (at least for a DPS War)

Probably the best set is Wade's Superior Dragonscale armour with Evon the Great's mail substituted for the chest piece.
