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.

I agree it comes at a point where only the poison resist is of use. I just now got 2 fully upgraded iron armor pieces, a new bow and an iron mace with just 1 upgrade left from clearing 3 crypts. I plan on building the Drake helmet with silver next. So I would just pop a poison resist potion instead of wearing the poison resist helm.

It would be different if there was a wait time between resist potions, but as soon as 1 potion wears off you can drink another.
