I am trying to decide which of the ponchos between Deadshot and Nameless would be better for FSC as well as all-around in other situations but I am not sure which to get. Things I am considering:

* Gunner gear is currently not that great for FSC in the first place. I can get a fire resistance UV on either *my crowns gulp*
* Nameless has a posibility to be buffed to have fire resistance like its bomb / sword equivalents.
* Considering the above, I still do indeed have my Nameless hat for at least one piece of "future fire resistance"
* Nameless, obviously, has elemental resistance which I already have the Nameless hat for some elemental
* Since I gun, I do not get hit much in FSC pre-Vana, though I am not perfect and do get hit occasionally.
* Deadshot has shadow, which is in FSC and I currently have none, already have some ele from Nameless hat
* Vanaduke, like the JK, might get a future buff that considers him an "Undead" possibly changing defenses making the Undead damage bonus on Deadshot useful on Vana himself (If OOO made Vana part of the undead family please correct me)
* Deadshot might give better defenses for all-around clockworks besides the FSC due to having elemental and shadow defense
* Nameless might give better offense for all-around clockworks besides the FSC due to having ASI.
* Deadshot will help with fiends!

Ok, I cannot decide :( . Can anyone point out benefits to either that I missed?

Get the Nameless.Deadshot is

Get the Nameless.

Deadshot is actually Normal and Shadow, no Elemental. The bonus damage is against undead, not fiends, either of which still make Deadshot's bonuses very situational, whereas the bonuses of the Nameless set would be useful everywhere.

For FSC, get the deadshot.

For FSC, get the deadshot. Nameless for all else and if you constantly die in Vana phase 2 & 4.

The undead bonus w/ 2 gun dmg trinkets make gun damage = max. This makes some very nice higher numbers against slags with an elemental gun.
How much would you value the ASI from the nameless instead?

Shadow def is nice for when you do get hit. And will be useful for fiend and undead stratums/levels.

Don't rely on a "fire resistance" buff just because it's on the bomb/sword equivalents.

I believe he meant that he would have Elemental from his aforementioned Nameless Hat, and Shadow from a possible Deadshot Mantle.

Fiends deal Shadow damage, and Deadshot has Shadow defense.

Lastly, the Undead bonus of the Deadshot set is rather broad, as it is 1) an armor bonus, meaning it isn't limited to a single weapon [e.g. WHB, CIV], and 2) it affects all Weapon-types (which is why it's oft not considered a "gunslinger" set.)
Additionally, then you'd have to account for whether you find a lot of Handgun ASI useful.
