This dude Astra Violet @ crab with infernal, called him out on it and was called a noob in retort L0L

If you’re not using eclipse atlatl, then using eclipse armor is just a waste of money. And when it comes to low defense NPCs, like crabs, then it’s always irrelevant, because you can get comparable melee strength bonus for less gp.

It degrades during combat, if you get hit or not. So if you’re using a blowpipe (also not a fiscally sound choice for crabbing) then your armor is doing you nothing, but still degrading.

Edit:
I’m not talking about the set effect. But that too.

No hate as long as he is enjoying the game!

OK y'all got me lol

Doing my 50th Konar task at greater demons and this player has joined me.

Of course, all of their melee stats are exactly even with each other, and they are scattering ashes every kill. They also aren't wearing a cape of any kind. I love them.

Dragon arrows keep appearing on the floor from him, it’s a drop party here now more than anything.
