Which armour gives a larger boost to ancient weapons?

Assuming I'm using ancient weapons, and have the barbarian armour set and ancient armour set upgraded twice, which set will I do more damage with with regular attacks, and which with charge attacks (since the barb set boosts those on top of it's attack up bonuses)?

Solution 1:

The Ancient Armor Set will enable you to deal more damage, assuming you're using Ancient weapons. The Ancient Armor Set boosts your damage by 80% if you're using ancient weapons. The Barbarian Armor Set boosts your damage by 50% for all weapons.

The Barbarian Armor Set doesn't increase your charge attack damage - it reduces the amount of stamina you use to perform a charge attack. You'll still do more charge attack damage with the Ancient Armor Set, assuming you're using Ancient weapons.
