Hello, I just started this game about 3 days ago and I am still learning the ropes but slowly getting the hang of the inventory/item system.
I have decided that I wanted to go along with the cutter line and the Wolver to Skolver line of armor and sword, but I do not know what shield set and sidearm (bomb or gun) I should get. I was really looking at the autogun and was really interested but I wanted to check with you guys if 2 fast firing weapons like the needler and cutter would be a good idea. Any thoughts?
Also, I was eyeing the Vog Cub set, would the AS really make the difference on the cutter line?
EDIT: On the other hand, should I go though the poison cutter line or the hunting blade line?
Speaking from limited experience, but having read a lot of forum topics, I'd say with the Cutter line to go with Skolver. You do not need to go any faster with the Cutter, and the damage boost would help. Also, I have upgraded my Cutter Med Slimes UV to a Vile Striker for farming JK and plus, Poison Debuff is very underrated. Beasts aren't that common, and the Dread Venom is very useful. Also, for a sidearm, since the Cutter series doesn't have Pierce or Ele damage and also doesn't have any good knockback, you may want to get a good ele bomb that can be useful in mobs, aka Shivermist Buster. Guns don't have much knockback, and if you're stuck in arena with healers and a gun, you're going to be there for a while, hahaha. In conclusion, go for Vile Striker and a good ele or pierce bomb like Shivermist or Radiant Sun Shards or something with strong knockback like Nitronome. Hope I helped. :D
