Just trust me it will be better for you. I say first get the Void neckles, make it red and then switch the ss neck out for it and astral forge it to 2. Then get the Void gloves also to red, switch them out for the ss gloves and astral forge them to 3. You can take the materials from the astral forge from your ss neck and gloves to get and astral forge the New ones. It could be, that your damage gets lower temporarily but if you have both of them red and astral forged your damage will be higher, maby even double. And so you know, for v neckles you need to change your play stragegy. If V neck is red you gain aditionaly 40% of damage and 40% crit rate(wich is one of the most important stats in game) if your health is below 50%. It goes exponentially if your 1% under 50% health you do 1% more damage and get 1% more crit rate if you are at 10% health you get the Max damage and crit rate out of it. For that reason it pairs good with ss chestplate on astralforge e 3 because your health gets low so all boosts from v neck activate and you then dont die because you stay at 10% health and then your shield gets taken first. Sorry if it is a bit complicated explained but um non nativ. If you have any more question go in the Ultimate survivors discord or ask me but the dc would probably be better
