Honestly, armor doesn't do that much to change if you were dead or not. I kept eating stew once against a guy with full gold armor and I won using a stone sword.
"Always Extreme at heart."
I don't check the forums or go in-game anymore, I have quit.
that time,i beated 3 diamond armour guys with god swords (fire aspect 2,sharpness 5 etc) using only a knockback 2 and bane 4 iron sword and golden apple blocks one :3
well i can renember it was the "Enchanted" or something like that,and at the hidden chests there more iron swords and enchanted stuff,u should run when the time beggens
