To be fairly honest, although it does not affect the actual defence, it effects your damage intake by 50% but of course not always...

Lets say you have higher stats armour but its earth element. By wearing starmetal you avoid getting 50% more dmg from enemy when they are wearing any spirit armour...

And besides theres one more huge advantage of wearing the starmental, its when you have to fight another starmetal as your opponent.

You of course will get 150% dmg intake just like you would with any other element but dont forget that enemy will receive 150% dmg as well. Where using any other element you wont get that boost...
