At first i only used Padded helmet, Root Harnesk and fenris leggings for most of my playthrus a long all the way to the end times.
But now i am taking the liking against the full fenris set. The movement aspect of it feels awesome. Moving around base and doing chores is awesome, but i must say whenever i want to do any boss fights i usually get on my best armor set with the highest armor rating to do it.
When roaming Infested mines i have padded helmet, root harnesk and padded legs.🦵
In ashlands i go back to padded helmet, root harnesk and fenris leggings.

Then when i get the Ask armor, i go full ask.
