Which armor set is better?

[-GoV- Donald Kim]

When the 1.3.4 update came out and when I saw the new armor sets and look at the defense stats I thought, why in every new update does every new set of armor have low defense stats. What Im asking to every terraria fan is, what is the most protective armor set in terraria?

probably solar flare armor

I agree.

thats subjective tbh
solar armor offers the highest defense of all high end tier armors
even a shield to give you a little protection that works simillarly to the beetle husk
however, once the shields are down you're pretty much just left with defense
its good for pure defense stats that are premanent

nebular armor gives you collectable buffs, which include damage, mana regen, and of course life regen. It's good if you want defense in terms of life since you almost never run out unless the enemies out damage you or keep constantly damaging you

vortex armor gives you defense in terms of offense, with giving you more damage especially when in invisibility mode, it does lower your speed drastically unless you use the wings

and finally
startdust gives you defense in terms of strength in numbers
you have either alot of minions, or 1 long single dragon minion that can deal dps per segment to any boss.

personally i perfer the nebular because of the buffs, but solar is your go to for pure defense

Well, just because it's a new armor, it doesn't mean it needs to be stronger than everything else.

The DD2 Armor is centered towards Post-Mechs and Post-Golem.

I honestly rather use Valhalla and Ballistas then Stardust armor. Makes me feel cool.

During my work on it it gave me a new appreciation of builders, previously I harshly criticized their creations but this has taken hours and hours.
