What everyone has said regarding the stats is absolutely correct. I would like to also point out the elements which make it especially good. Boss armors that are "element adjacent" (i.e. an element paired with another right next to it elemental advantage wheel) are slightly more versatile then armors with the elements separated. In addition, if a boss comes out in the future that has the elements wind/water, then this armor will deal a ton of damage to it compared to other armors. This is also why most of your friends on your friends list are likely using the Assassins Shroud or the Armor of the Bear against this boss (Earth/Spirit beats Wind/Earth in 2 elements while taking no bonus in turn).
