The problem is by the time you kill enough Abominations to get a fully upgraded set you will most likely have enough iron to jump to the iron armor and bypass this all together. The poison resist helmet is nice, but if you are in a Crypt, you would most likely be using the light circlet from the Merchant, so it won't benefit you much.

Abominations, being tree creatures would best be found in the Black Forest. While the armor set is cool, I don't think it will be used much.

No one uses the flashlight helmet in the crypts , these are just for night building
you can hear every mob in the crypts , the names shines clearly + crypt torches , so is pretty dumb using it there , in exchange of a better helmet with so much more armor

And far as i know the abomination its almost inmune to pierce , slash is the best so one can farm them easy whit a bronze sword , i dont know yet if you can parry them with a full bronze buckler
