Notes
In comparison to the tiered heavy armors, the Aegis Armor provides 5 less DEF than the T14 Dominion Armor, but provides a nice DPS boost of +4 ATT. This may be of use to classes such as the Knight, who could forfeit the 5 DEF, and benefit from the +4 ATT in the form of some extra DPS.
The Mad God’s Rage effect makes this a particularly noteworthy armor. Ever since the activation threshold was increased from 300 HP to 80% of maximum HP, the offensive buffs provided are much more reliable, providing a large boost to DPS in any dungeon where one is likely to be pushed below this threshold anyway. This tends to work best in the likes of most exaltation dungeons (e.g. Lost Halls, The Nest, Fungal Cavern), as they deal enough damage to activate Mad God’s Rage without necessarily putting them at risk of immediate death.
Oryx’s Sanctuary is perhaps a poor place to use it as the immense single-projectile damage numbers and the fact that at least two separate attacks are needed to trigger the effect (the first hit to bring you under 80% of maximum HP, and any second hit after that) mean that you will likely be running for your life pots any time this buff is active, unless you carefully choose certain shots to tank. This is also less preferable in less difficult content than armors which provide unconditional offensive stats such as Mercy’s Bane, since Mad God’s Rage will take much longer to activate.
With good awareness of how to safely activate and exploit Mad God’s Rage, this is easily one of the most powerful DPS-focused heavy armors in the game.
