It's because the masochist passive gives us -100% until we take damage. Since we're in the shop and haven't taken any hits, everything's damage numbers are really low.
Question about Triangle of Power. Isn't it strictly a positive for this character? You take -2% damage from each hit but also get +5% due to the character right?
Yes, but you have to compare it to what you would have without the triangle. You get +20 damage, +3 per hit. If you take 5 hits, that's 20 + 3x5 = 35 extra damage. A normal masochist would have 5x5=25, so you're ahead after buying triangle. But if you take 20 hits, you have 20 + 20x3 = 80 damage, whereas without the triangle you'd have 20x5=100, so the triangle has cost you damage overall.
Dodge does not make armor better or vice versa. Both are percent effective HP increases, but they are anti-synergistic. Dodge is synergistic with HP and regen.
That's simply not true. The more hits you can take on average, the more multiplicative increases to the number of hits you can take increase the total number of hits you can take. Functionally, there's no difference between 100 hp with 50% damage reduction from armour and 200 hp. Either are better for dodge than 100 hp with no armour.
Sorry, but I didn't understand the discussion of why the Triangle of Power isn't always net positive for the Masochist? He gets +5% from his passive, and -2% from the Triangle, so doesn't that net out at +3% each time he takes damage?
So the issue comes down to that after a certain amount of hits, the amount of flat damage % you get from Triangle of Power (ToP) is going to be less than the amount of damage you'd have had assuming you just had the passive ability. After 10 hits with ToP, you'd have lost 20% damage, leaving you with a net positive of 30%. So a total of 50% damage effectively. After 10 hits without ToP, you'd have +50% damage with just the passive, leaving you with that same amount of bonus damage. Every hit after the 10th will give you more damage if you didn't have the ToP than if you did. Hope this helps.

Love that lute! A very lucky run, that cursed thunder sword at the end would make me go endless unless I was doing a challenge like this
really loving the random randoms, was wondering what series you would do next after the extreme gmo videos (which I also liked but these are great)
Hah, just had probably the luckiest run of my brotato career today too on a rando/random King SMG build. *everything* went right.
Commenting to satisfy the algorithm overlords
Cheers!
This video is my jam!
At 14:46 the Alien Eyes in the shop says "1 damage". Seems wrong, but I'm surprised it wasn't pointed out in the video.

I really love triangle of power. Sure i love bloody hand too, but even more than that i love killing enemies before they can do anything
Let's go!
also, two pirate runs for fun: captain + jack (POTC), and sailor + gangster (just a pirate)
Ahhh the tortured artist run
The Mafia run requests go on hold for random random, algorithm comment day 12
Also, based pocket factory enjoyer
Is lute the best weapon in the game? It for sure has the 2 best tags.

Ah, of course! Thanks both!
hmm, no crazy weapons so far. Waiting for some insane rolls for our favourite alienphile!
Me too! Fairly safe rolls so far
Day 19 of asking for the "Brick only" challenge 😂😜✌️💜
