Is the Core Commander Armor Set good? Rating by build

For each build we take the strongest loadout (gear and food), swap in the Core Commander Armor Set pieces (with the set bonus) and calculate the damage. Damage is relative to the strongest loadout (= 100), and the rank is out of all 70 sets.

BuildDamage
(best = 100)
RankBest set for this build
Melee 88.3 #1 This set
Ranged 92.6 #2 Mold Set
Magic 50.0 #36 Arcane Monk Armor Set
Summoner 41.4 #50 Chieftain Armor Set

The Core Commander Armor Set fits melee builds best (#1 of all sets). Its level holds up in the late game.

Damage assumes endgame gear (Lv.20) and skills at level 100. Defense (armor, health) is not included; compare the totals above for that. The damage model is this site's own estimate, not an official formula.
