with that helmet the minimum defense becomes 8 instead at the cost of scu also and note that the armour protects your minimum speed also you can't drop below like 3 speed with the whole set
Only 3,00 speed...? Why we need this if anyone can catch up with us? It's like... 3-4 monsters and some slow people and of course undeads with very slow speed can't do that... but they just... eh... Why? Why we really need 3,00 speed don't drop buff? Well... it's probably useful if you have a few stacks of Sick... but am... you don't really want to fight or gather any food while you have only a speed 3,00 anyway.
1) Very slow to do any
2) Most weapons become usless (Or rather it's quite difficult to use them without speed)
3) Most of the tactics don't work correctly (If you're a thief/assasin it's not a big problem but just... eh... very slow)
Abomination Lona don't even need this 3,00 speed don't drop buff because Abom race has a tentacle whip that allows Abom to fly around the map even with 0,00 speed and Deep One Lona can't use it because she can't wear that type of armor... those who like stealth would not wear such armor because it's not useful and those who fight in close combat usually use a very fast type of clothing because you need to dodge attacks and strike quickly... the only option for those who play with a shield buuuut whether or not you need it if it slow your speed... i don't know.
Who's it even for then? Which class will use this very strange armor perk? Why we need this if that set weighs a lot when it's enough to just buy 2-3 red potions at the market or go to the mountains to get a root especially since you're gonna have to go to the mountains anyway because you need something to eat? It's kinda weird.
but it takes up a lot of inventory space and 3.00 speed not really good for fighting... so... this is no reason use a full set but only a Worn Cuirass which gives you extra 4 DEF stat in belt slot + and it's actually quite nice-looking. Maybe on the Doom difficulty it makes some sense.... but I don't know. I personally have never used this set in combat that often because I always have red potions in my pocket that it weighs less and heal 50 by the way it also heals head injuries which lowers magic damage and heals hand injuries which lowers physical damage which by the way this armor set can't do.
So... what do you do if you get a head or arm injury using that armor with 3,00 speed buff in fight?
