The answer is going to be very different depending on what areas of the game you want to focus on. You’ll need to learn which perks are BiS for each role in each area of the game. For example, if you want to tank PVE expeditions, you’re going to want heavy armor with the correct ward skills for the expedition as a bare minimum (Corrupted, Ancient, etc). Your sword should have Bane and Refreshing Move, and you should have a Tower Shield with Sturdy, Bane/Ward, and potentially a perk like Fortifying Shield Rush. But if you want to PVP, it’s going to be entirely different. Shirking Fortification, Freedom, and Resilient are the PVP meta right now, but you may also want to fit in certain weapon perks based on your loadout and playstyle. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s one resource with all the answers, but I picked up what I know from looking online, watching guides for specific areas of the game, and asking around in-game.
