Turtle Armor edits
I'd argue, considering that beetle armor is similarly available pre-plantera but is counted in the four sets mentioned, that the entire claim that there are only four valid endgame armors is subjective in itself and needs to be revised everywhere it's mentioned. The main issue I had was comparing Turtle Armor to Chlorophyte Armor solely on the statistics of their parts' individual bonuses, when armor starts being driven entirely by the combined set bonuses halfway to Hardmode. Perhaps "subjective" was the incorrect word for it- rather, I'd say it's patent nonsense to compare a dedicated tanking armor with one that averages about two-thirds of the defense but has a purely offensive set bonus. You could just as easily make the case that since Palladium armor regenerates your health indefinitely, this functional invincibility that it grants makes it the true tank set and the most powerful of the five endgame armors. Which armor is "best" is entirely a subjective matter because they're all designed to do different things.

If I'm actually being dead honest, though, I didn't really care enough to read all the stuff you added, and I don't care enough about this to go back and do anything about it. I removed it because those sorts of comparisons are better suited for guides, as stated in the edit summary. It's a page about Turtle Armor, not the other armor sets in question, and an in-depth mathematical comparison of them against each other or an analysis of the necessity of aggro in singleplayer isn't really suited for any of their individual pages, any more than peoples' sick builds and fantasy rainbow castles are suitable to be added to the House page. I'm not in the mood to get in an edit war over it, though, so I'll yield and leave it be. Take some solace in the fact that your edits are safe until some anon editor blanks the page to inform everyone that the actual crafting recipe is 10000 poops and 5 dylan was here.

 * Which sets are "endgame", "tanking", etc are subjective themselves. These aren't in-game terms, and aren't necessary, so we can simply remove them, especially if there is disagreement over them. They're simply not worth arguing and edit-warring over. Readers can view the statistics and decide for themselves how they'd like to categorize armor sets, and which situations each set is suited for. The major problem for me, with Ardhanarishvara's version, was that it caused the article to focus on another item (chlorophyte armor) being superior; when articles should focus on facts about the current item. I've therefore cut the article down to the bare indisputable facts. As Gearzein states, I would generally agree that such analyses and comparisons are more suited to guide pages. A guide on analyzing armor options might actually be a good idea. Equazcion  ( talk ) 10:32, 3 Jan 2015 (UTC)
