Worm scarf worth it?

[Karina]

I can change it to celestial magnet but im not sure. Im using mana flower, sorcerer emblem, wings, spectre boots for more air time and extra ground speed, ankh shield. All with lucky or menacing.

Really? Huh. I thought wings is best accesorie. Saves a lot of trouble when mining- no longer need to bring lots of platforms and ropes + extra dodging against bosses.

wings are aswell, just get rid of the accesorie that you dont count on or just dont have affect the most, or just the least used you have equipped

if you have wings and are nebular or any wings that allow you to float in a horziontal path, you can afford to swap them out for the spectre boots.
Yes, the worm scarf takes off 15% damage from all sources. If you take it the ironskin and endurance potions, you can become about 50% resistant to all damage types.
although it also depends on the class which i take you are a mage class right?
you can also afford to lose the emblem as you have a mana flower, which instantly consumes mana potions, so you can afford to keep on continous damage.
you can swap out most of your items, except probably wings and the ankh shield for sure. (the wings swap out if you get an infinte flying mount like the flying saucer or the pigron mount)
the only way i'd say you can swap the worm scarf is if you get the healing stone from the golem, which helps you regenearte alot faster (best keep it still in the accessory vanity slow so you can heal, then go back to defense)

Wings are one of the best accessories. The best in my opinion. Also, on the Worm Scarf, considering it's an expert mode only item, and the point of expert mode is to make it harder, why would you then immediately go and get something that then takes away a portion of what makes expert mode harder?

You can chuck out the Wings and Spectre Boots if you have a UFO or Fishron mount.

Mages are extra squishy, especially in Expert, so I'm not even sure how you're surviving with no Warding accessories :O
In fact, how are you surviving without a Cross Necklace? :O

Sheesh, if you're going all-out damage then you may as well chuck away the Worm Scarf...

Im not completly ingnoring defence, i just use what i think provide most benefit. I made my way to plantera just fine, currently farming chlorophyte. From what i heard wardng not worth it because you take huge amount of damage in Expert no matter what +mage armors has ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ defence. People say that warding only worth for melee builds with high base armor.

I tend to go with a "tank ranger" meself by permanently stuffing myself in stealth mode and shredding things that way with a defense through the roof due to 6x Warding modifiers (Wings, Boots, Shield, Cross Necklace, Worm Scarf)...

... each to their own, and that's also lategame.

Garbage in the long run. Get full everything. If you need more damage or are fighting bosses, swap out your wings with Mana flower.

For Ranger, best'd you want is Lucky for the extra crits. Unless you have Vortex or Shroomite or anything slightly below, there's no point in extra defense.

Wings are very helpful for all classes, Until you get the UFO.

I always chose a mix of 4 lucky 2 quick for ranger or mage but I am good at dodging,however I'd always have atleast 1 of the following accesories cross necklace,charm of myths,master ninja gear or frozen turtle shell.

Personally i'd either go with wings or Ninja gear, but swap them for a Destroyer emblem for boss fights.

I really wonder why people are so dedicated to having "muh damage reduction" when they're playing a game where tanking doesn't exist. Better mobilty + Higher DPS so that you won't be getting hit, and the enemies will be dying faster is going to be significantly more helpful than being able to survive a few extra hits that you only needed to survive in the first place because you lacked the mobility to get out of the way or had a fight last too long.
