Ok ive has full 5* star gear for a pretty long time now and ive only tried Vanaduke for the first time yesterday.... Ok, I admit i was scared of teir 3 in general. But the problem with having full mad bomber in FSC is that u can get flamed A LOT. I took 3 pips of damage from burst and it lasted aroung 7 secs each time, it was the main killer of me. Ok so i wanted the shivermist bomb cuz one of my teamates had one and its pwned vanaduke cuz i could charge him with my glacius and he would refreeze (trolololol). Of course i was with a bunch of noobs from my guild and we dies several time through the levels and vanaduke and ended up losing. But hey, it was my first time and didnt know wtf ur supposed to do.
Anyway (i always get off topic on fourms...) I was getting pwned my fire in FSC, the zombie breath (ewww..) falling crap in the vanaduke battle (yes I call the debris crap...when they come i say "oh crap there crap!!1") so i thought about the following:Getting Status Trinkets (fire ones), vog cud coat to help with sword play and fire,or the volcanic demo helm. so? which option? plz tell me an answer that would help me use a shivermist and possibly a good damage bomb for FSC too (also tell me a good damage bomb for FSC i already has the nitronome but is it good on vanaduke himself? also is the voltaic temest good on him too?\
So heres the sets im hoping for wepon wise:
Bombs:Nitronome+shivermist(or tempest)
sword: glacius
gun:supernova
All i need from this is the shivermist and supernova (its alreadly a radiant)
Plz tell me if status trinkets are nessesary and which trinket should fill the other slot...THX
A good two bomb+sword plus gun combo for FSC that gives me more fire resist with mad bomber
If you're scared of Tier 3 (no shame in that), then practice more of Tier 3, before trying FSC. And what you're practicing here is never (well, almost never) getting hit by monsters.
Switch from Mad Bomber to Volcanic Demo?
1. Keep your mad bomber suit for the Med CTR.
2. Instead of a Nitro or a VT, why don't you try getting the new Electron Vortex? This is for 2 reasons:
1) You have a Glacius, it comboes amazingly with the Glacius' charge attack (lay bomb + charge sword = fast dead zombies)
2) It does Elemental Damage
3) It'd be easier to use in FSC than Nitro (and annoy your teammates less)
3. Switch out your Mad Bomber Helm for Volcanic Demo Helm (also Med CTR).
1) This will give you Max on both your Bombs at level 10.
2) It will neutralize and possibly add on some more fire resist from your Mad Suit.
4. Get 2 Fire resist trinkets starting out (both 5 star), and then switch one out for a sword bonus (CTR or DMG?) when you get better and catch on fire less in general.
5. I notice you don't mention shield, but if you want protection from the "falling crap", and the mace, for beginning practice I'd highly recommend the Volcanic Plate Shield. If not, I'd assume you probably have a Grey Owlite, and that works pretty fantastic as well.
6. Vanaduke is mainly a gun boss if you didn't know it yet, so I'd say your Supernova is good enough for all-round in there as of now :)
tl;dr (* means you need it)
Helm - Volcanic Demo Helm *
Armor - Mad Bomber Suit
Shield - Volcanic Plate Shield / Grey Owlite Shield *
Weapons -
1. Glacius
2. Supernova
3. Shivermist Buster *
4. Electron Vortex *
Trinkets - 2 x 5 Star Fire Resist (2 x 100 Forge Sparks) *, or DMG Med Sword trinket *
I'd say switch to volcanic and get dmg bonuses from trinkets(but this would demand alot of time and resources)
A good damage bomb? shivermist vana and put sun shards. The shards range helps you keep your distance plus he's so big you gotta be blind to miss him.
Status trinkets work now, so you might as well invest in Fire Resist if you can (100 Forge Sparks!) if you prefer to have 2 trinket slots, try bomb damage or another fire trinket.
Nitro is your damage bomb of course you should definitely have it to take advantage of your mad bomber. As for your status bombs, it's a tossup between freeze and shock. Generally people think freeze is better. Comboed with your glacius (and a smart party) you can lockdown groups of enemies. Shock is OK if someone else is already packing shivermist.
