+5% movement speed
+3 defense
Slightly increased jump height and jump speed

and it might have 20% increased magic damage on top of the 35% increased Damage.

so it op, it can do some damage, it's pre-Volcanox and its pretty strong
but can its stack up to some calamity Accessories

vs Calamity part1

This is the bit where i put Elemental Arcanum up against Calamity all post D.O.G and above

Class based stuff

[Elemental Gauntlet]
Melee attacks inflict most debuffs
15% increased melee speed, damage, and 5% increased melee critical strike chance
20% increased true melee damage
Increased invincibility after taking damage
Temporary immunity to lava
Increased melee knockback
Melee attacks have a 6.67% chance to instantly kill normal enemies
While wearing the Elemental Gauntlet, any enemy struck by a melee attack will be inflicted with these debuffs:

Abyssal Flames for 2 seconds
Elemental Mix for 2 seconds (20% chance for Glacial State)
God Slayer Inferno for 2 seconds
Cursed Inferno for 2 seconds
Frostburn for 2 seconds
Ichor for 2 seconds
Venom for 2 seconds
The combined effects of the debuffs cause the target foe to lose 505 health per second, have their defense cut in half, with an additional -38 defense, -25% damage reduction, and become unable to move for the 2 second duration of the debuffs.

[Elemental Quiver]
Ranged projectiles have a chance to split
Ranged weapons have a 6.67% chance to instantly kill normal enemies
10% increased ranged damage and 5% increased ranged critical strike chance and 20% reduced ammo usage
5 increased defense, 2 increased life regen, and 15% increased pick speed
Greatly increases arrow speed and grants a 20% chance to not consume arrows

[Ethereal Talisman]
15% increased magic damage, 5% increased magic critical strike chance, and 10% decreased mana usage
+150 max mana and reveals treasure locations if visibility is on
Increases pickup range for mana stars and you restore mana when damaged
You automatically use mana potions when needed if visibility is on
Magic attacks have a 6.67% chance to instantly kill normal enemies

[Nucleogenesis]
ncreased max minions by 4 and 15% increased minion damage
Increased minion knockback
Minions inflict a variety of debuffs
Minions spawn damaging sparks on enemy hits
Minion attacks have a 6.67% chance to instantly kill normal enemies
While equipped, all minions will inflict the following debuffs:

Electrified for 1 second.
Temporal Sadness for 1 second.
Astral Infection for 3 seconds.
Irradiated for 3 seconds.
Shadowflame for 5 seconds.

[Nanotech]
Rogue projectiles create nanoblades as they travel
Stealth strikes summon nanobeams and sparks on enemy hits
Stealth strikes have +20 armor penetration, deal 5% more damage, and heal for 1 HP
Rogue weapons have a 6.67% chance to instantly kill normal enemies
12% increased rogue damage and 15% increased rogue velocity
Whenever you crit an enemy with a rogue weapon your rogue damage increases
This effect can stack up to 150 times
Max rogue damage boost is 10%
Rogue Crit Level: [LEVEL HERE]

so Elemental Arcanum has Damage increased by 35% so 15% or in the case of Nanotech 12%
is not as good gotta give a point to Elemental Arcanum here.

Elemental Arcanum has Armor penetration increased by 5, but no minion buffs Nanotech is nuts when it goes to extra damage like Stealth strikes have +20 armor penetration, deal 5% more damage, and heal for 1 HP, Whenever you crit an enemy with a rogue weapon your rogue damage increases
This effect can stack up to 150 times
Max rogue damage boost is 10%,
so yea that good all the buffs on Nanotech are 27% damage but with +20 armor penetration its a tie with just Nanotech for now.

Elemental Arcanum has these debuff's on attack Inflicts chilled, frostburn, and fire damage
but Elemental Gauntlet and Nucleogenesis have a lot of debuff's
Nucleogenesis. has Electrified for 1 second.
Temporal Sadness for 1 second. Astral Infection for 3 seconds. Irradiated for 3 seconds.
and Shadowflame for 5 seconds.
Elemental Gauntlet. has even more debuff's, Abyssal Flames for 2 seconds, Elemental Mix for 2 seconds (20% chance for Glacial State), God Slayer Inferno for 2 seconds, Cursed Inferno for 2 seconds, Frostburn for 2 seconds, Ichor for 2 seconds, Venom for 2 seconds
for a total of cause the target foe to lose 505 health per second, have their defense cut in half, with an additional -38 defense, -25% damage reduction, and become unable to move for the 2 second duration of the debuffs. gotta give this point to Elemental Gauntlet.

Elemental Arcanum has Critical strike chance increased by 10% that's better then 5% crit.
both Elemental Arcanum and Ethereal Talisman have Increases pickup range for mana stars,
you restore mana when damaged and +150 mana
but Ethereal Talisman has 10% decreased mana usage&reveals treasure locations if visibility is on but Elemental Arcanum still is better and might have 20% increased magic damage so it won here.

Elemental Arcanum has Reduced cooldown for healing potions, Life regen increased,
also no defence except for werewolf buff but it has Reduces damage taken by
5% and When under 50% life, damage reduction increased by 15%,
that's some high damage reduction, there's also Increased invincibility time,
Elemental Quiver has 5 increased defense, 2 increased life regen, and 15% increased pick speed
with 20% reduced ammo usage, Greatly increases arrow speed and grants a 20% chance to not consume arrows Elemental Arcanum also has twice the mining speed of Elemental Quiver
so it wins once more.

also i ignore that all these calamity Accessories have a 6.67% chance to instantly kill normal enemies because its chance of happening so Elemental Arcanum is powerful Elemental Gauntlet is
the best of the Accessories we put up against Elemental Arcanum because of the debuff's
that's part one.

@fettergdp that is just an opinion. Sure, Calamity is one of the best mods out there, but there are mods that are close to or even already surpassed Calamity. Also this wasn't meant to be a mod comparing to which one was better. All they were saying is that the EA Elemental Arcanum is better than some accessories from calamity. Sheesh. When will these kids learn.

[Sinner8Ishmael]

calamity is still better

[Mario Mario]
