So, I'm currently gearing up for t3, and I've been looking around for what armor would be good for a gunslinger. Blitzneedle and weapons, generally are a given, however, I've little idea what I want for armor and shield that's good for a gunner. I'm thinking the Deadshot and Nameless branches of the Gunslinger armor line would be good, but given that, I'm not enitrly sure what'd be a good shield to go for. Owlite? Jelly? Something else?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ardok
For FSC I agree that Nameless + Deadshot + Grey Owlite/Volcanic Plate makes sense. Sadly, no gunner armor has fire protection, which is really valuable in FSC.
For the rest of Tier 3, I suggest that Nameless + Justifier + Grey Owlite might be good, just to get some piercing in there, still with a gun bonus.
i run FSC with full nameless set (no UV). used to run iwth a wise owlite (no uv) but now i use an ironmight plate shield with med fire UV. I've killed vanaduke a lot of times (lots of times no revives). it's totally do-able even though my set up is not optimized for FSC.
Nameless + Deadshot combo, if you want strictly Gunslinger armor.
Failing that, Divine Veil (cap), Deadshot Mantle (armor) will be as good for offense, and will reduce a bit of damage taken from slags. DivineVeil/NamelessJacket should work in theory too, if it's fire that bothers you more than the slags... at the cost of Med against Undead.
Grey Owlite/Crest of Almire both work.
Thanks, everyone! I think, at least to start, I'll try Deadshot+Nameless+Owlite, and then explore the token shield. If that doesn't work, I'll look at Divine Armor. I'm still trying to get to 4* gear, and for the shield I've gotta start from scratch, but if anyone has any other ideas, I'd like to hear them!
I have a Deadshot Mantle and Nameless hat as part of my FSC equipment, as well as a Grey Owlite in my armoury. I would suggest either the Grey Owlite or a Volcanic Plate shield for FSC, until you get the Crest of Almire, which is my current shield.
If you can get a gunslinger set with a fire UV, that would be extremely handy, as well.
