Mammoth armor buff

[Mario_Demorez]

The mammoth armor should be better than troll armor or ATLEAST metal armor. It looks amazing but there's no reason to actually use it LATE game even though killing a mammoth is considered harder than killing some trolls. Maybe add metal to the ingredients or something, but please buff the armor deflection and absorption.

Idk about that. It has stat buffs, which the plate armor does not.

[Mario_Demorez]

Maybe give a form made from metal that doesn't give the stat bonuses?
Another arguement I can make is that the troll helm gives more armor stats than the plate helm, but still has bonuses.
And a lower agil debuff

Its fine as it is as a mid game armor though.
You can get this armor at higher quality faster than steel plate.

As plate armor has a priority for the absortion and has a good deflection i would ask for a nerf on the Plate Armor , doesnt matter how many stats a new armor has, plate armor its a best option

Yes, but steel is stronger than leather.

Either a nerf on plate armor or a buff to mammoth armor. It doesn't matter how many stats armor has since you can always make up for the loss of stats by eating food. Deflection/absorption, on the other hand, are things that are only attached to armor which you can't make up for no matter how much you eat. Plate armor also isn't capped by materials as much as mammoth armor. You can get a steady increase to the quality of plate armor since the quality of the materials can be raised, while mammoth armor is held back quite a bit by the materials since the quality of mammoth hides and tusks have a wall attached to them.

If this was early in the start of a new world then I think both armors would be in a good spot, but this late in the world mammoth armor isn't particularly good.

Just wait for the reset then.

Just wait for the reset then.

Great solution, but then after 1-2 months of new world mammoth armor becomes useless again?
I don't even think mammoth armor is better than cutthroat armor since you can raise q of cutthroat so even early game mammoth will be last choice.
Mammoths are one of the hardest, if not the hardest, normal spawn to kill in the game without cheesing it. The armor from it should be better than troll armor or Atleast on par. The troll helmet has 6/10 armor with stat bonuses while the steel helm has 9/6 armor with an agility debuff. Level 1-4 trolls are easier to take down than any mammoths. Other than hq bones and hide mammoths are pointless to hunt atm even though they are one of the strongest animals, doesn't make sense to me.

They may be strong but they are not rare. Trolls are rare.
