Lots of objects like doors and cracked walls (and very occasionally objects you want to destroy quickly) are labeled sturdy or tough, and don’t take damage below a certain threshold. Crits against those can help you get through them.

The adamantine weapons are all pretty disappointing, IMO. You’ll probably have better already, or will quite soon. The armour, particularly the heavy splint, is good for most of the game if not right to the end. Immunity from crits, a bit of damage resistance and reeling on hit are all very handy for a front liner to tank some blows. The medium has less damage resistance and less intense reeling, but it’s still quite decent. Some people seem to rate the shield too, but I’m not really sold on it.
