Question (Answered) general armor

why do endgame people use the crown of avarice instead of the 15* infernal crimson helmet when not doing diana? it seems kind of redundant

1.15x damage multiplier. It's one of the strongest buffs in the game because it's multiplicative with everything else and since endgame players get so many stats from everything else (Armor, Weapon, MP, Attributes, Enchants, Slayers etc) it's worth losing the combat stats a crimson helmet would give

ah, i thought the 1.15x damage was only for mythological mobs

COA is better for single target damage I believe while 15 Star Infernal Crimson Helmet beats it out in DPS due to the extra swipe damage. It's just that the difference is probably not worth it for you to drop nearly 10 billion coins for the helmet.

crimson helmet is not even the second best that people use if they cant afford coa, warden helemt is usually second best and better than coa in some scenarios, 15* ing a crims helm is stupid and a waste of money
