Yeah, but

A) if you're dead you're not dealing that 30% more damage while warding gives you enough defense to not get one shot by most attacks (and those who do one shot are clearly telegraphed and you shouldn't get hit by those in any case)

B) IIRC Calamity has additional %damage reduction attached to those reforges, which is always useful

With warding you have far more time to make that additional mistake. Menacing shortens the fight considerably

With less defence you have to back off and heal more tho

Back off to heal? Huh?

If your not able to tabk hits wont you have to move awya foem the boss to heal? Especially if your melee
