So I've been thinking about what to take in my Shadow Wildwoods run. I got two ideas about armors:

Skolver Set + 2x Elite Quick Strike Module (pretty self explanatory)

or...

Radiant Silvermail + Ancient Plate Helm + Elite Slash Module + Elite Quickstrike Module (to have both Piercing and Shadow without lacking a good Normal, and also some ASI and damage bonus because they're never bad)

or an hybrid set:

Radiant Silvermail + Skolver Cap + 2x Elite Quick Strike Module

The shield would be a Crest of Almire (or should i use my Barbarous Thorn Shield?)

About weapons, I'm pretty sure about it

Divine Avenger (obvious choice)
Barbarous Thorn Blade (another obvious choice)
Shivermist Buster/Voltaic Tempest (which one?)
Polaris (for those Howlitzers)

I also have an Argent Peacemaker, but i'm not sure about taking it in there.

Can i haz an hint?

I don't like the ancient

I don't like the ancient debuffs, specially with a heavy sword.

Shiver vs Voltaic
Depends on party, if everyone else is carrying shiver too, it would be overkill for wildwoods.

please search

Please search the forums, or at least look down the list of threads a little, to see whether your question has been asked. For example, here is just the most recent redundant thread on this topic.

Not exactly what i was looking for.

That thread only answers the question about the armor set. There's still three things:

-Shivermist or Voltaic Tempest?
-Crest of Almire or Barbarous Thorn Shield?
-Polaris or Argent Peacemaker?

- Both if you can, get Shiver

- Both if you can, get Shiver first (2 in the group is good). There is no definitive answer there, depends if you prefer shock or freeze, or want both.
- Both are ok, depends if you have more trouble with wolvers or undeads. BTS have attack damage bonus tho. But the best shield would probably be Skelly due to Poison resistance.
- Polaris, because it can shutdown Howlitzers. That's the point of it. Even if AP was pure elemental, it would still not deal with Howlitzers as well as Polaris. For the rest, your elemental/piercing weapon of choice will do.

cross-thread summary

So your proposed loadout is
* Skolver Cap or Ancient Plate Helm
* Radiant Silvermail or Skolver Coat
* Barbarous Thorn Shield or Crest of Almire
* Divine Avenger
* Barbarous Thorn Blade
* Shivermist Buster or Voltaic Tempest
* Polaris
Whereas the loadout in that other thread, which I endorsed, was the radically different
* Skolver Cap
* Radiant Silvermail
* Barbarous Thorn Shield or Crest of Almire
* Divine Avenger or Glacius
* Barbarous Thorn Blade
* Shivermist Buster or Voltaic Tempest
Yep, your weapons (and armor) should be fine, just like that other guy's. Choose Radiant Silvermail so that you have some shadow and poison protection. Certainly choose Polaris over Argent Peacemaker.
