Imagine thinking +3 scaled str that ignores cap is bad

Dragon king is definitely overrated, I think people go bonkers for that % increase to stats, and use dragon king on builds that really don't make that much use of it, and could use better options. Perhaps out of not knowing what else to get. But it's actually good on certain builds that really want high strength such as shaitans or certain high swa builds. I'd say the best one is probably glove, then helm maybe if you wanna use the mask of metal trait, and then the armor is ok if there's nothing better and you want damage.

Is it better than akmedis/crowbleeder+/any good accessory? Eh, not really, it depends. But stacking damage high is something that has an inherent value. The reality is more complex than comparing numbers after all. That's of course just for pvp. In pve? More damage is all you want, so of course it's good.

No one ever said it was bad, it's just that there's much more options that are more stat efficient in their respective slots barring Dragon King Helm.

Crownbleeder+/Nullstone Gauntlets/Rogue Work Gloves/Idol/Terrasque/Akdemis/Body Guard/Some Ele Res armors and so on more or less out perform it in the efficiency department and leave more stats that could go into other stats or in fact, even strength. This means the only builds that can actually make use of DK are typically the ones hovering close to the hard cap, which leaves them often dry on stats to go outside of STR.

That said, I wouldn't mind a bit more STR on the set to further emphasize the niche it brings. Fae makes a great point, the set effect could probably ramp up with each piece you add onto it, just so you aren't just sticking to the accessory slot only.
