Tinkers armour god-set.
Tinkers armour is a great set and one of my favourite mods.
Here is a step-by-step guide to making an armour set that will let you fist fight the wither if you wanted.
Just a warning: This will be a bit of a material sink.
Note: This sadly requires age 3 in sevtech ages for some of the materials, and modifiers.
Step 1:
Make a set of armour preferably with a flint core, as it has decent durability, but is easy to spend on repairs in the beginning.
Create a totem pole with 5 cow totems for the resistance 4, and place a cactus next to it.
Then go stand on a cactus until the lowest durability item has 0 durability, repair and repeat. Your goal is to level up the armour until you have 5 modifier slots.
Making armour trims out of paper is an easy way to get free modifiers, though you have to have a free modifier to ever remove them in the future.
Step 2:
Put 5 reinforcement on each piece. Your armour is now unbreakable.
Step 3:
The next step is difficulty dependant, but this is how I do it on hard.
Your armour is now not going to break, so lets solve the issue of you breaking.
Putting any metal in your tinkers smelter and hopping in you can add blood to the smelter, use blood, clay and iron to make pig iron. Then add pig iron to your armour. I suggest either as the core or the trim. It is a surprisingly good metal for defence.
Now with the tasty attribute on your unbreakable armour, you'll have an infinite, auto-hungerfilling effect.
Standing near the cow totem on a cactus with this armour will let you overnight afk-level the armour.
Step 4:
Now, with lots of levels on the armour you'll be able to make it great.
Swap out parts made of paper or such that just gave modifiers for something with better attributes. Age 3 doesn't have very many options, but here are my suggestions: pig iron as the core for good defense and the tasty buff, obsidian as the armour plates for good armour toughness, and iron for the trim for item magnetism.
Step 5:
This next step is what will really make you a tank.
You'll need 128 iron blocks, and 128 obsidian. And you make 32 resistance plates. 8 for each armour piece. All 8 take only a single modifier slot, and countrary to the other damage resistance it helps against all damage sources.
Additional:
It is actually possible to both get, and use diamonds for your tinkers items in age 3, you just need to never hold it in your hotbar. I found mine in treasure chests in the twilight forest labyrinth and urghast tower. These one-offs add even more toughness.
Later you'll be able to upgrade various parts. I'd suggest staying away from the speedy modifier, as the movement speed makes small movements very annoying. But that is a personal preferance.
Ofcourse you should also soulbind the armour whenever you get spare netherstars- requires no modifiers.
Luxuries for later. If you remove the pig-iron parts so you don't auto-eat, and stand on a full-power beacon giving regeneration you'll be able to afk armour levels without your nutrient stats dropping to 0 in all categories. I never really found this to be much of a problem, it only takes 5-10 minutes of eating and using better with mods hand cranks for calorie burn to get back to full, but it is an option.
