wood is overall good but its outclassed by alot
it was always good idk why people are STILL calling it bad 
anyway the arcanium it got just made it even better
i love power/defense gear
Wood arcanium is kinda underwhelming, the arcmancer set especially makes it so a decent number of magics can do what wood can do at the same level or better.
Might be cause the extra power wood brings is almost negligible, might be better in future updates though I dunno.
