Hardmode Ore Armor Tweaks

This mod makes small adjustments to the hardmode ore armors (cobalt through titanium, plus some tweaks to hallowed and chlorophyte) sets to give them all a bit more identity.
In vanilla, the alternate ore sets (palladium, orichalcum, and titanium) feel unique, but the originals just feel like a bunch of assorted stats thrown onto armor.
Furthermore, the early sets usually get completely outclassed as soon as you reach the next tier, so it's often not even worth crafting them.
In this mod I attempt to fix both of these issues by changing the stats of the armors to give each set a bit more of a focus, and by overall buffing the earlier sets to give them a bit more staying power.
Finally, I have done away with having different stats on each headpiece for the different classes. Aside from certain class-specific buffs like melee speed or mana, every class's version of the armor grants the same bonuses.

What has changed overall (I'm not going to list every single miniscule stat adjustment)
-Cobalt armor is a high mobility armor with a total of 35% increased movement speed and 50% increased base acceleration, replacing its previous set bonuses. It also got a defense buff to last a bit longer. However, it now takes 54 bars to craft, rather than 45, to match palladium.
-Palladium armor is mostly unchanged, but got a few small damage increases to make it not get outclassed as quickly.
-Mythril has slightly less attack strength, but in exchange it has much higher defense as well as s new set bonus that grants extended invulnerability after taking damage greater than 10% of your max health. The previous set bonuses got added on to their respective helmets to a lesser degree. However, it now takes 54 bars to craft, rather than 45, to match orichalcum.
-Orichalcum has no normal damage bonuses, instead only getting critical strike chance increases as well as a solid 15% movement speed increase. Furthermore, its set bonus has been reworked so that the petals have a very low cooldown but only trigger on critical strikes, scaling in damage based on the attack that triggered it. The petals also have 25 armor penetration, but now have piercing damage falloff to prevent ridiculous destroyer cheese. Overall this set is frailer than mythril but can deal a lot of damage with the right build.
-Adamantite is a powerful all-rounder with good defense, good damage, and decent mobility. The main change here is an addition to the previous set bonuses: 40% increased base acceleration, just to make the set bonus a bit more worthwhile.
-Titanium's set bonus received a small rework: each titanium shard you have increases your defense by 2, but the cooldown for spawning titanium shards has been quintupled (now you can only get 2 shards per second). This means that while it while it has gotten worse at facetanking, its overall defensive utility has greatly increased. It also takes 54 bars to craft down from 59, to be more consistent with the other armor crafting.
-As a whole, stat increases on the breastplates and leggings have been increased so that they matter more (though they still have less than the helmets).
-Chlorophyte armor's melee set bonus of 5% damage reduction has been moved to the helmet (with a decent portion of the helmets' previous stats having been shifted to the breastplate and leggings).

Make sure to use this with my other mod, Movement Speed Fixed! (especially important for cobalt armor's change)
