Tread this thread as a starting point for people for who are confused by the loadouts. Something where we share loadouts that work rather well in our opinion or have already proven to be. Feel free to suggest changes in my/people loadouts but remember, thats their loadouts so don't try too hard unless they ask for it. So i'll kick off with few of loadouts that i use (some are popular among people)

[Anti-Graveyard]
Helmet: Snarbolax Cap / Armor: Snarbolax Coat / Shield: Barbarous Thorn Shield / Trinkets: Elite Quick Strike Module x2
Weapons: Divine Avenger / Shivermist Buster / Nova Driver

Snarb set + BTS for maximum sword damage, DA for slashing, SB for phantoms in 4man parties and Nova Driver for poking fun at zombies

[FSC] Better-safe-than-sorry-anti-random-fsc-invite-loadout
Helmet: Divine Veil / Armor: Vog Cub Coat / Shield: Grey Owlite Shield / Trinkets: Elite Trueshot Module, Elite Bomb Focus Module
Weapons: Divine Avenger / Shivermist Buster / Blitz Needle / Polaris

General setup for the usual random invite to FSC, i can oneblitz trojans (Divine Veil + 1x Elite True Shot combo), SB decently thanks to the Elite Bomb Focus Module, Grey Owlite because it does the same job on Zombie breath as Crest of Almire does and performs better in mask phases at Vanaduke

[Anti-Dark City]
Helmet: Snarbolax Cap / Armor: Snarbolax Coat / Shield: Crest of Almire / Trinkets: Elite Bomb Focus Module x2
Weapons: Barbarous Thorn Blade / Shivermist Buster / Polaris / Blitz Needle

BTB because well, it does its job, SB for spawn control, Polaris for beating up the cake and BN for when someone sets SB or when i solo and set it myself. Elite Bomb Focus Modules because i feel that the speed of BTB is enough for fiends and a fast SB can save a party

[solo-remedy-burning Danger Room Hunting]
Helmet: Divine Veil / Armor: Skolver Coat / Shield: Grey Owlite Shield / Trinkets: Elite Quick Strike Module x2
Weapons: Faust / Barbarous Thorn Blade / Venom Veiler / Polaris

Armor mixing due the random nature of danger rooms, Faust for [charge] curse application, BTB for daring dives into single menders/silkwing and anti-greaver first-swing swiping, Venom Veiler for T3 Menders' AoE healing (whole AoE is a damaging area for any enemy under the effects of Poison) and general attack debuff for daring dives into healers. And Polaris for cornering and forming masses of shocked undead/constructs and splitting healers from the groups.

[Gunner "starter" kit]
Helmet: Nameless Hat / Armor: Nameless Coat / Shield: Crest of Almire;Grey Owlite Shield;Barbarous Thorn Blade / Trinkets: Elite Trueshot Module x2
Weapons: Leviathan;Barbarous Thorn Blade / Umbra Driver / Callahan;Blitz Needle / Polaris

Nameless set for the ASI, shields to comply enemy attacks (CoA for Fiends/Undeads, GOS for Constructs/Gremlins, BTB for Slimes/Beasts), switching between BTB (for Fiend/Undead levels) and Leviathan (for the rest). I find greavers too risky to use anything other than a Flourish/BTB so thats why i'm better-safe-then-sorry with using the BTB for those levels/stratums. Leviathan for the rest and generally then i only use it for grass cutting or the charge attack on the healer inside a crowd. Callahan generally and i switch it out for deconstruction zones, i use there purely Blitz Needle charge. About Polaris, i prefer stalling the turrets and not having ricochets from alchemers aggro nearby enemies (Gun Puppies/Howlitzers in case of arenas), shaping up masses is also bonus points. I picked currently Umbra Driver exclusively because it causes havoc in Slimes/Gremlins groups, i'm trying to adapt to the slow speed of Neutralizer line but somehow it isn't coming, ricochet in arenas from it isn't a problem for me as Polyps have a 360 degree vision so they are aggroed when you are just close by them.

Well my "general" gear

Well my "general" gear (something that I can use effectively pretty much anywhere) consists of:
Vog Cub Set, Barbarous Thorn Shield, Acheron, Divine Avenger, Barbarous Thorn Blade, Polaris, Elite Slash and Focus modules. this gives me Very High in ASI, CTR (all weapons are level 10) and Damage for my swords, Polaris takes care of turrets and whatever I feel like shooting at :P

for JK the only thing that changes are my weapons: Acheron, Vile Striker, Biohazard, DA or Polaris. the last slot is a hard choice for me. when soloing a DA charge OHKOs Lumbers and Gun Puppies but spamming Polaris is extremely effective in RJP because its so confined, you can clear rooms easily (sometimes I brig both and don't bother with Acheron). Vile Striker destroys JK, though if I had a Fang of Vog I'd bring that instead (or put in DA/Polaris's slot). Biohazard's just for lolz hehehe. I don't change my amrour because 1) its the only 5* armour I have and 2) it's really not necessary, I can solo it fine, though if I had a Skolver Set I'd wear it.

for Twins, again, the only thing that changes from the "general" set is weapons: DA, Polaris, Acheron, ...anything else really, usually whatever I happen to be heating up, though if I had a FoV I'd bring it. The shield doesn't change because its the only one I have apart from Swift Strike Buckler. havn't bothered with Grey Owlite yet because I really just havn't found it to be necessary.

don't have a proper FSC set yet. working on building up a Blitz Needle. pairing it with DA, Polaris and BTB would probably serve well enough. Im not crazy enough to try and solo it and someone in my party usually has a Shivermist. I know I need a better shield, I've only ever fought Vanaduke once, so tbh I don't know which shield would be best, but the zombies hurt me the most and break the shield quick so I'd bring a shadow one. I have a Seraphic helm at the moment and I'm undecided in what to make it but if I turned it into a Crown of the Fallen I'd use it instead of the Vog cap.

What Dark Ritual?

I have many, but I'll list just a few. (Non-Costume sets)

FSC (Basic, No Costume, Blah blah blah)

Vog Cub Cap UV Piercing High
Vog Cub Coat with a changing UV
Barb Thorn Shield Piercing MAXIMUM
Divine Avenger Undead VH
Dread Venom Striker, currently Undead Low, been meaning to change.
Argent Peacemaker ASI Med
Blitz Needle CTR Low
Elite Trueshot Module x2

So, I got VH ASI on swords, Max Undead on my DA, High Undead on my DVS, and VH Everything on guns. I only use the Trueshots for faster DPS on Trojans and Duke, really. Sometimes I use my AP, 121 damage per shot on Slag Walkers isn't bad on D28. :3 (To Duke, if all of the charged attack's shots hit, I do 2,910 damage. Even more if he's poisoned.)

Jelly King (Again, Basic.)

Skolver Cap UV Shadow High
Skolver Coat UV Normal MAXIMUM
Barb Thorn Shield, Piercing MAXIMUM
Fang of Vog UV CTR Med
Gran Faust UV ASI Low
Dread Venom Striker UV Undead Low
Graviton Vortex
Elite Sword Focus Module
Elite Bomb Focus Module

So, here I got: CTR Max on my FoV for quick an easy kills... My Vortex with CTR VH since I pull mobs together then whack away with Max Damage... You get the point.

Lockdown: Ancient Set

Ancient Helm Elemental MAXIMUM
Ancient Plate Mail
Fang of Vog, UV CTR Med
Gran Faust, UV ASI Low
Barb Thorn Blade, UV Undead High
Mega Magnus (Goin to be a Callahan once I find the recipe)
OR
Blackhawk (Just need to heat this up to a Sentenza, got everything.)
OR
Polaris, UV CTR Low
Guardian or Striker
Various Trinkets, normally some heart pendant in there. (Love you, too much health.)

(I mainly only use the BTB.)

Lockdown: Skolver Set

Skolver Cap, UV Shadow High
Skolver Coat, UV Shadow Low OR UV Normal MAXIMUM
Same Weps
Same trinkets
Striker 99% of the time.

My basic template for any

My basic template for any load-out is:

Vog Cub Cap (Shadow High)
Skolver Coat (Shadow MAX!)
BTS (Elemental Med, Piercing Low, Normal Low)

Glacius (CTR High)
Electron Vortex (CTR Med)
BTB (CTR Low)
[Extra slot]

Elite Slash Module
Elite Quick Strike Module

- - - - -

Most levels the extra slot is Acheron with ASI Low. If I'm doing FSC it's my Plague Needle. If I need a gun besides that it's either Polaris or Callahan.
Sometimes (In some of the more dangerous (status-wise) Shadow Lairs and other dangerous (status-wise) depths) I switch my Vog Cub Cap to a Divine Veil with Elemental MAX!

Just realised I forgot to

Just realised I forgot to mention lockdown

I play T2 as a recon and carry 2 different sets that serve slightly different purposes.

Set 1 (defensive)
Super Blast Bomb
Freezing Vaporizer MK-II
Electron Charge
Kilowatt Pulsar

Set 2 (offensive)
Twisted Snarble Barb
Antigua
Super Blast Bomb
Lightning Capacitator (don't have it yet but will soon)

The armour for both sets is the same, Dusker Cap and Chroma Suit. Demo set is useless since with level 10 bombs and recon bonuses I have max CTR already. The second set is slightly more aggressive if we're pressing the attack, while the first is nice for laying traps and provides team support.

My normal gear

My normal gear is

Vog/Skolver/Snarby
BTS
Acheron
FF (CTR Med)
DA (Undead Med)
Polaris
2 Elite Quickstrike or Slash trinkets, depending on armor

It gives me max damage vs everything and very high ASI with my swords.

I have others, but that's my main set up.

Beast strata

As there are some good beast strata this week (JK gate, strata 3 before JK, and strata 5 that makes a good basil run), i did a loadout specifically toward them with swords/bombs, and it works wonder :

- BTB (or any flourish) to pick lone beasts/gremlins
- Gran Faust for jellies (they are the most common mobs in a beast strata after beasts)
- DBB for large beasts packs
- Ash of Agni for more dps in arena and against large jelly packs
- BTS for piercing shield and sword damage bonus
- Skolver cap for piercing defense
- Mad bomber Suit
- 2* ASI trinkets for the Gran Faust

The only weak point is elemental, but in a beast strata, there is nothing weak to elemental, except lumbers (only beast/jellies/gremlins, including aurora isles and arenas).

Normal Gear

My typical loadout consists of:

-Wyvern Scale Mail and Helm (for piercing and elemental resistance)
-Dark Thorn Shield (for sword damage bonus)
-Fireburst Brandish, Silent Nightblade, and Flamberge (I use 2 of the 3 depending on the strata)
-Toxic Catalyzer (for poisoning monsters)

The weak point in my loadout is shadow, but I try to avoid undead and fiend strata anyway, so it works well for me.

For Lockdown, I'm thinking of:

-Mercurial Set (for movement speed increase)
-Acheron (Shadow damage, and I don't want to use a Faust)
-Sentenza (Most people don't have high shadow defense)
-Stagger Storm (I've played around with Stun in Lockdown, and it works okay. It slows down anyone caught in it's effect radius. Probably not as good as shock or freeze, but I don't really care that much)
-Two Elite Quick Strike modules (for faster hit and run attacks)

I mostly play Recon in Lockdown. Kinda helps friendly Strikers do more damage and cause enemies to panic when their defense is nulled.
