It's called Black Kat Raiment i believe.

And the defense is only lame on that set if you compare to bkc + ancient/snarbolax/shadowsun
But much better if you compare to bkc + vog/mercurial/mercurial demo/nameless/justifier/skolver/chaos

You're being more of a doofus than someone including curse because you didnt include fire.

My main reason for not using msi med all the time was because you had to sacrifice either damage bonus or non normal defense.
Now I can have msi med + dmg max + normal + shadow + shiver walker with only one real notable downside, it's a dress.

tl;dr negative fire resistance just seems like it's not worth mentioning to you because you have too much focus on how helpful the statuses are themselves.

just because you see shock as a more frequent used status and because shock is most likely the most annoying status there is, it doesn't mean being very weak to fire should be rendered useless. every time you strike with striker booster and take damage at the same time the meter sinks and I don't need to mention you take more damage per fire inflict. but maybe I do, you did take up the subject of the tiny normal defense difference. if you drag this any further you are just making an even bigger fool out of your self for something that wasn't even a big deal when I first mentioned it.

I can see it now~

A recon sidestepping everything at the speed of bullsh*t, then quickly reappearing with a hefty swing of the almighty heavy sword and its trusty Auto Target special ability.

Or thy great gunners avoiding any incoming berserk strikers and quickly counterattacking with a /dodge /shoot. So now I will then be forced to create some sort of opening, either by having an idiot opponent who willingly walks into obvious spots, or commence a chivalrous gunning war, and God forbid the enemy team does not Gran Faust combo me into oblivion.

Until the entire defensive aspect of the game (regarding type defense not status) is reworked the balance will be entirely in the favor of offensive armors.

honestly max damage in T2 is just wrong

Guess I'm kinda alone in this, but I think the new set is alright for T2. Not a huge fan of how the amor is acquired (that's probably a separate discussion), but the helm took maybe 3 hours of running with guildies, being only token based.

Rather than having the most offense-oriented option for the most standard class/weapon combination also resist the most common weapon (Dusker/toothpick). If anything, it'll widen the pool of viable weapons (hi Antigua, Magnus). It also serves in T3 as a poor man's BKC for those of use who didn't have anything similar prior to this event.

I guess I just don't think the new additions unbalance LD any more than it had already been unbalanced by the 5* hat, or by the Chaos changes. It will, if anything, lead to wider gear choices in T2; I haven't played enough T3 to judge, but I don't forsee much changing.

I played T2 today with my lvl 1 BKH and I'll say it felt a bit ridiculous. I haven't seen the science on it yet but i think it makes a lot more things OHKO-able with one SS combo. Might have been that a lot if people were using unheated gear, but it felt like everything was dying faster. Haven't tried T3 yet so I can't really comment there.

Thanks iWest and everyone else for bringing the discussion to t2.

First, I love the BK set. Everyone is so flammable! It's so fun just shoot shoot a bullet at a wall, and someone gets caught on fire. My fire loadout is so much more effective. You know the best part about this? FLAMBERGES! Flamberges are now slightly more effective x3

But in the end

I still love the weapon oriented armors. IMO the gunner, dusker, demo sets are still my favorite to play with in ld because I can miss more often! Yay!

And lastly,
DEMONOLOGY IS RECRUITING T2 LD PLAYERS!
