Spectre armor

[Nate]

Is it worth it to get this set for mage if you have hallowed cause unless there is hidden stats i just cant see why it would be worth it? If anyone could explain would be alot of help.

There's a hidden ability. The hood gives magic damage life steal. It and Vampire Knives are the go to methods for people to heal large quantities against some of the harder endgame enemies/events.

Spectre is literally the best mage armor you can get till you kill the Moon lord a few times. It basically adds in the specter staff effect for every hit you do. You spawn enemy seeking white missiles of death. Or you can go with the other helmet that gives everyone around you health when you hurt something.. So Spectre armor.. IS far better then hallow.. that and it has higher defense depending on helmet. I believe.. I don't play the mage class often.

Dat. It'll probably be your main mage armor set until you hit nebula gear. It's SO worth it. Better start farming ectoplasm!

For some reason, set bonuses are always hidden until you equip all parts of the armor.

There was a time when Hallowed was better than Spectre, but nowadays I'd say Spectre is better.

With the Spectre Hood, you'll do absolutely ♥♥♥♥ damage but will be able to heal yourself. I've never really seen the advantage of doing this since you could just play melee to get more DPS and have as much survivability.

With the Mask, you'll do more than twice as much damage as with the Hood, but get no healing. It's a high-DPS, low survivability build.
