A quick budget build I put together, modifiers are very good for budget builds
The defense amulet gives around ~350 defense and the steel armour ~300, with armoured it should be +50. Drowned steel and frozen arcsphere also give a fair amount of stats… and the pauldrons are there because I couldn’t find anything better…
Will modified steel/titanium be meta? Probably not, but it’s fun non the less.
Most likely no, at least according to my calculations. They lack secondary stats and the huge defence bias forces you to play a tank, and if you try to fix it with gems and enchants, you notice dropoff compared to normal sets.
The one with less size is where I tried to replace my planned accs (arc bracelet, calv chest and sunken boots) for titanium items.
After playing around with modifiers and enchants, the closest I got was a small power and def gain at the cost of a quarter of my size. IMO not worth it.
Waiting for people to scream at me for size build. I wont build anything else unless they add defence+other substat gems.
