Now that the gunner update is out, there's suddenly 9000+ new armors and helmets. I want to try to get some of this new stuff, but I don't which set to choose.
Which armor/helmet should I try to get? Should I just save my monkey and not get any new armor/helmet and instead spend it on guns?
Well the two big ones are the shadow + fire and shadow + shock ones, with the straight damage upgrade. If you're going to get the new armor, get one of those.
And lol, that monkey.. please save him, and don't trade him away to the (other) evil monkey traffickers like Skepticraven D: Trade him to me. I'd offer more for a chance at that monkey anyway.
What armor do you use now? Chaos with nice status UVs? Black Kat with nice status UVs? Then no other armor matters. If not those, then how about Perfect Mask of Seerus?
If not any of that, then I would definitely go for the ones that give blanket damage bonus +1, rather than family damage bonus +2 (unless you plan to make tons of them). Beyond that, it all comes down to which status protections you want. That's situational, but the most important ones are generally regarded as shock, freeze, and fire.
Sacred Grizzly Wraith Set...
So that you can be an anti-grinch during Grinchlin Assault.
I believe the one that gives shadow defence, shock resistance, and raw damage is quite interesting. Don't ask me what it's called, though!
I think its the sacred firefly shade one krakob
edit: I said I THINK, I wasn't sure of it
Agreed, Firefly Shade and Falcon Shade are the two winners, with the Fire+Sentinel and Shock+Sentinel ones close behind. The Poison ones seem to be the losers of the bunch.
But what UVs to put on them? The Falcon lines (Shock resistant) have a Freeze penalty, so I'd never take one on a Freeze level. Would you put Fire bonuses on one to make it useful in more situations?
I'm building the Sacred Grizzly Hazard set to help my gunner game in the Ice Queen SL.
Of course I'm also working on Sacred Snakebite sentinel since I want a poison elemental set with more than just a beast damage perk.
And yes I'm getting the Shock and fire Shade sets, mostly because they look cool.
Alched a Pathfinder with nice UVs so now I'm getting the Falcon one too
I'll trade all the new guns and armors for your monkey.
