I'm a returning player trying to remember alot of the armor from the various expansions. If I remember correctly, the order of power for the various armor sets are as follows:

Ornate < Oow Tier 1 < Elemental Planes < Don Armor < Oow Tier 2 < Qvic < Anguish < Por < TSS

I am not sure if this ranking is correct. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?

Off the top of my head I'd rank them (from worst to best):

PoP Ornate
DoN (merchant)
OoW Tier 1
PoP Elemental
PoR Tier 1
DoN (tradeskilled, without a type 12 augment)
TSS (base armor)
PoR Tier 2 (Theater of Blood)
GoD (Qvic)
TSS (second level)
DoN (tradeskilled, with Bazu augment)
OoW Tier 2 (Anguish)
DoN (tradeskilled, with Last Blood augment)

Keep in mind this does not reflect focus effects or augment slots, which can raise the value of the armor sets significantly.

I updated my post above with links if you want to research any of the armor sets.

What can I say? It's a sickness. :)

Thanks for the links. I have a mish mesh of various pieces of armor, some PoP elemental, some Gaelin's, some Don merchant in various slots. I'm trying to decide which piece (if any) can be replaced with PoR Spirit Mark armor as upgrades. The links make the research alot less painful :)
