Guardian fighter end game gear question

So people are saying the timeless set and the stalwart set are the gf's 2 best options for end game gear
but gear like icefall gauntlets and armor of insanity gives such good stats
Is going those 2 pieces + 2 timeless shoes and helmet viable (or possibly even better?)
Also a note on the stalwart set, even though it seems to add approximately 7.5k power from the special effect, you lose so much raw stats (power, armor penetration and recovery) from the individual pieces, does that mean timeless outranks it by far?

I'm not expert on GF gear, but it seems to me that 7.5k power is more stats that the whole Timeless set combined, and if you're Conq spec and get a 100% bonus on top of that power? Think I'll be using the Stalwart set when I get to 60.
(p.s yes i've gone with conquerer paragon)
PvE Stalwart is hands down the best set.
PvP I believe it's entirely situational and so both sets would be somewhat equal.
Timeless does best when you get the first CC chain or if they just aren't paying attention to you. Stalwart is generally easy to get stacks but sometimes you have to go out of your way for them, esp if no one is attacking you. Its not hard to stand in aoe or get someone's attention for stacks but it does usually have a short build up time and in many cases of PvP its a 2-3 shot game. Stalwart is a bit more durable allowing you to take more dmg while timeless is squishy but has a 100% up time regardless of being attacked or not.
If its a 1v1 I'd always bet on stalwart but if you want to quickly jump someone in the back lines or from behind timeless does it better.
pretty **** close to the same defenses then the only difference is the set bonus
Worst GF NA
It does not take Stalwart set into account, when doubling your power. It's only the power from items.
Knight Captain set isn't bad, either. It's pretty much only good for PVE, but it's very good for it. 60% power for your TR is nothing to sneeze at.
This guy knows what's up. I don't even use timeless anymore since tenebrous got nerf to uselessness unless you have greater in all 6 slots, which I'm not rich enough to get, so that set is now useless. Thanks to the those "pro" guides on how to build a GF tho. All those baddies buying Stalwart helm for insane high prices made me super rich. The more people who think it's the best set, the more AD I make.
I'm not sure if anyone can tank all those adds for any length of time. Thats how the game is intended however. I did notice, especially since the taunt patch, that getting those 5 stacks of stalwart is pretty easy to do, whether you're fighting a boss or all the adds.
Baddies buying stalwart helm?? Its still great armor, and let people buy what they want,...I happened to find mine (myself and guildy each got one in 1 run). I think with the right jewelry and enchantments most of these armors will come out to be pretty darn close to each other. I am tempted to try a dual 2/2 set sometime though, to see what i can get,...since the ~10k power doesnt seem much different from ~3k.
Alternatively could go 2/2 HG/KC as well for higher ArP, if you're low Dex.
Valiant is also decent since the 4pc debuff = ~10% damage. + the set has the highest power of T1.
The proc chance nerf to 25% makes it a bit inferior though.
For PvE, KC beats Stalwart if the group has good gear since that 60% Power is quite potent.

ArP reduces Damage Resistance (24% for Bosses).
ArP cannot reduce targets into negative resist.
Debuffs can.
So with 24% ArP and Tide of Iron = +20% damage.

timeless = low def (1911) high power and recov bonus gives crit
if you use timeless you will crit more but they will hit you hard bec of low def
stalwart higher damage + high survivability you can focus on getting arpen
stalwart have both survivability and damage
timeless = high chance of doing crit but lower defense
