If its 104% crit chance shouldn't you replace one of the Luckies with Menacing?

[WonderBread]

wouldn't beetle armor give you more damage with all three beetles

[Fumo Bnnuy n Frends]

replace the solar leggings with what was it the valhallah leggings or the other one from the old one's army that you can buy from the tavern keeper to cap % crit chance.

also can replace the wings with a putrid scent or mechanical glove and just rely on mounts or running around.

As said in the other thread, you are much better if Menacing is changed to Lucky, EoG is changed to Putrid Scent and armor is changed to Beetle.

not having one piece of a set wont give you a bonus

Some games have a system to where when you have over 100% you can get a crit crit which means it doubles the damage a crit would normally give I'm not sure if thats a system in terraria or not though

[Vexrow]

I prefer solar armour over beetle because of the set bonus. Also, i prefer menacing over lucky for more consistent damage without potions.

what you mean the shield

read the title

it's a dps crit build not a defense build. Otherwise i'd go for beetle or another melee type armor that deals with raw damage or buffs. Some guy made a titanium armor build before it was patched during the first couple of days lol (i think his name was mappy probably was) and it just could shred and run circles around bosses.

[Junebug]

Can you post what it looks like?

You want to be able to survive long enough to actually do the dps don’t you? Having the ability to stay alive after more than one hit is very much needed when in master mode
