Bruh how is Wither armor B tier, and the titan's shroud and souldancer robe only A tier. They were some of the BEST armors I, and I still only use them. I also have had horrifying experiences with the spider armor and Battle robes, dying as soon as I entered entered combat, and they were enchanted. They should be at least B tier.

It's bad to use in solo runs. Better if they separate tier list from solo and multiplayer.
