Okay - I've posted a lot of questions here on equips, here is a new one ^_^
Previously in SK I found that there really weren't any uv's for guns that had a meaningful impact... gun damage, attack speed, charge time... all pretty blah. Armors didn't have any good options either, with a damage vs undead medium, and a general damage low...
Anyway so now we have the krog coins so I can get 2x medium gun damage trinkets stacking for some decent damage bonus (still sucks compared to others, but it's MUCH better than before.) With these I'm looking at other changes in my arsenal...
Current equips -
Mad Bomber helmet,
Volcanic Bomber armor,
Grey Owlite shield,
low bomb charge time trinket
medium gun damage trinket
weapons are:
Polaris, Magnus, Umbra, Shivermist, Ashe of Agni, and Voltaic.
(bomb ctr max, gun damage medium)
I use bombs and guns equally as much. I use the bombs either for status or to handle large amounts of mobs, with guns doing more direct damage to few targets.
Here is what I'm considering -
Mad Bombers helm + Armor
2x medium gun damage trinkets
(bomb ctr max, gun damage vh)
OR
Shadowsun helm + armor
2x medium gun damage trinkets
(bomb ctr vh, gun damage max)
OR
Deadshot helm + armor
2x medium gun damage trinkets
(bomb ctr vh, gun damage vh, gun damage vs undead vh)
In addition to these options - any other options you think could help are appreciated.
On your last set, two things - deadshot's bonus isn't handgun specific as far as the wiki's concerned. Also, you seem to be incorrectly stacking the effects - gun damage would be applied first, then the undead bonus would cap out at maximum (ignoring half of the bonus). You'd still have vh to undead with bombs, though.
Maybe you could consider volcanic demo armor + helm + 2 gun damage trinkets - it'd total at 5 levels of ctr bonus on your bombs and v.high damage for your guns. None of your bombs are the type that benefit much from a damage bonus, as it only affects their detonation damage - this would let you drop the mad bomber armor. Volcanic demo doesn't have the weaknesses and instead has a fire resistance, so it's a big step up defensively, and you can try for CTR low UVs on your bombs if you want to get max CTR on them.
(Volcanic demo helm = 2 CTR + Suit = 1 CTR + level 10 heat = 2 CTR, total 5 - just a low UV is enough to max it per bomb.)
Trying to max your gun damage is a bad idea, simply because it's only possible with the shadowsun armor, which has a lot of drawbacks - piercing defense, and negative resistance to two statuses. Getting very high from trinkets is enough, you don't need gun specific armor.
