so i need a good magic hood UV for my divine veil to use in FSC.
i just made a shadow MAX one, but people told me that it already has maximum shadow def on divine.
is this true? what UV would be best then.
magic hood - divine veil help!

As far as I know (do not take
As far as I know (do not take my word for granted), the shadow UV on your magic hood is definitely useful, as you can go over what the bar shows. But if you equip another part with Shadow defense, you may hit a cap (I think there is one). Anyway, there are diminishing returns, so it's less useful than, for example, a normal defense UV (that would be what I would take on Divine).
Else, the big problem with Divine Veil in FSC is that some of the deadliest attacks are normal (Trojans and Vanaduke), and the shadow attacks from the zombies are half normal. Having shadow defense in place of double normal helps a little because of diminishing returns on normal, but not that much, and you'll take more on the deadliest attacks ....

well at the moment im using
well at the moment im using madbomber helm sooo im mainly taking DV for resistances aswell as useful shadow/elemental
my armour is armour of the fallen and shield is BTS so will have nice shadow+normal and some elemental and pierce too.
i need to roll my armour of the fallen for a useful UV however.
or i could always use grey feather cowl but it seems rubbish.

Grey Feather isn't rubbish,
Grey Feather isn't rubbish, and would probably be the best use of a shadow max UV. The only real downside to it is the stun weakness, but getting stunned should be fairly infrequent and isn't terribly deadly unless you're also swarmed and on fire, in which case you still only really have two problems.
Basically, if I'm gonna get hit by a mace/trolljan/debris I'd prefer to get stunned a bit longer rather than take more damage from having less normal defence.

i hear that, but i do need
i hear that, but i do need some stun resistance i think, as sometimes i get hit by a trojan when 3 are swaming me and it makes it impossible to escape.
Also need DV for the curse rez (armour of the fallen - curse) so i can do SL eventually.
also the dmg bonus from DV will counter out my negative damage bonus from armour of the fallen.
I'll try to get a max normal one i think.
i will probably use this for a grey feather if nobody offers good for it though.

I would not consider DV
I would not consider DV necessary. Even for UFSC, the elemental defense mostly goes to waste. If you want curse resist while not being weak to fire, try the Deadshot set. Mix it with a fire-resistant set. Or you can keep your Fallen armor and just have normal curse effects.
Divine Mantle was the first armor I used, but I never equip it anymore. It's a fun general-use item, but looking back, I would have preferred normal defense.

elemental is good for the
elemental is good for the shadow fire and stuff, MEH i just want resistances lol.
otherwise i could try and make a madbomber helm with max fire or something, mine has medium.
I can't verify whether or not increased shadow protection on a Divine Veil is useless. This kind of thing requires careful, tedious testing. Probably someone will chime in.
Frankly, it would be nice to have some normal protection. This is the drawback of the Divine Veil in general. :(
