now i'm intrested to see how much they improved brumble husk. 

i'm guessing they gave it more durability, but hopefully they slightly raised its damage too.

Is this intended as an indirect buff for WX's electrification circuit?

The Bramble Husk now requires 4 stingers to craft, rather than 4 bone shards. It also now has more durability (525 compared to the previous 262.5, and 210 more than a log suit!) and provides 80% protection (That's up from 65%, and is equal to a log suit)
Its splash damage seems the same.

So now it's thwormwood equivalent of wigfrid's helms but for the body slot with added counter attacks nice. I know I'll haras-err ask my local wormwood for one.

 

Ps: on a side note can we get follower friendly fire removed from it?

Jeez, that’s a much bigger buff than I expected. Guess I’ll be crafting a whole lot more of those now

I think that's meant to be its downside. Considering that it's now actually a viable armor to use normally, I'd say this is a fine drawback. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't wearing a bramble husk make you immune to the damage from other peoples bramble husks?

Oh, that's really nice, a better log suit. 

However, I was hoping for some kind of change to how you active the spikes. 

The whole "get hit to activate it's ability" thing seems like an opposite of Wormwood's play style of being careful with health. 

I'm fine with the current state but I hope they'll change or add another way to activate it.

It’s a known fact that playing as Wormwood outside of the hamlet dlc is intentionally handicapping yourself.

And that’s honestly a shame too.. I was hoping at some point Klei would allow Wormwoods plants are friendly to him perk to actually have some good uses outside of Hamlet, such as.. allowing him to relocate these guys:

https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Sea_Weed

They would activate to protect Wormwood whenever Wormwood and an enemy threat are close enough.
 
in the same way you can plant the Water Logged trees in plots of water to give an area Shade from wildfires.. this would’ve given Wormwood an at sea/in lakes version of Houndious.

Yes a Buff to Bramble Husk was much needed… but doesn’t change the fact Wormwoods true power still only shines best in the Hamlet DLC.

Now that you mentioned a lot of the recent lore we got is kinda a Frankenstein reference.

everybody can relocate them, the only thing is that you need a sea stack to plant them and currently you can only use the generated ones

It doesn't hurt other players but it will hurt followers and lead to unfortunate consequences I do get his theme is wormwood the lonely but keep in mind it will hit your beefalo too and counts as you attacking it. But i guess i do understand

Idk I don't particularly feel handicapped playing Wormwood I feel he offers enough to be fine enough as a character not I'll never say no to giving him more tho.
