When you first start off in the game you have a lot of armors elemental based that don't make it pass 2* rank. I think they should make new sets of armors that reach 4* and 5* to coincide with with the elemental weapons you have to choose from. I love the elemental power of Ice. So I have gone out and am trying to create every type of weapon that is Ice based. But i looked and there is no armor sets to coincide with these weapons. I know they have the blizzbreaker armor set but that only reaches to 2*. I think it would be great if they created a armor set to follow the brandish line of swords, or the alchemer series in guns.
I will be drawing up some elemental armor sets and posting them for people to vote on.
There really is a wide variety of gear and weapon choices that are missing from the game, and for good reason: it's yet to come. This game is still in its infancy, and while it can sometimes be frustrating to not have a Elemental/Shadow weapon, or Normal/Elemental gear with Handgun Damage Bonus, we just have to be patient and wait for new content.
Annoying, isn't it? ;P Personally I can't wait for a Piercing/Shadow sword to combat those pesky Gremlin/Wolver danger rooms (they dodge Sentenza like crazy and it takes fooooreeeeverrrr).
