      I could honestly probably just slap together something usable in a google doc myself if there isn't since just adding stuff to a sheet and adding sort options shouldn't be hard, but I'm curious if the wiki itself has any plans at the moment for that or a more thorough optimizer.

        Highest rapid poison defense is the whole black church set (black church hat, black church garb, surgical long gloves, black church trousers/dress). Don't know about DLC items though.

          Can someone smart explain to me what the difference between 'Highest Grand Total' and 'Highest Defence Total' is? And also, DLC armour's aren't included in these charts, are they?

            So I noticed yesterday that when I put on my armor my defense didn't equal out to what they should of if it was just a 1:1 ratio. The resistance was fine but I was losing up to 10% from bolt Defense.

              Can someone help me understand what I'm doing wrong with the boss micolash on the second part of his fight when he's trapped again he almost one shots me and I can't dodge the attack as it's too explosive. It's that attack that goes round the whole room it's don't know it's name. It's kinda like a huge explosion of a tars.
