Would this be a good combo?
It would cover Normal,Elemental and shadow damage + theres a damage bonus for the DV. Status conditions fire,shock,curse would be covered. And the stun problem isnt that bad.
Would it be a great combination out of the miracle alchemy path?
or maybe full divine or grey feather is better?
Thanks for the help in advance
Divine Veil with Volcanic Plate Mail would add a bit more normal protection, if you can put up with a bit of attack speed decrease. If you use fast swords you'll probably never notice.
The only split-special armor I have is my Silvermail, and I do notice the normal damage tradeoff even in T3. That said, Silvermail + Virulisk is a pretty strong combo for Concrete Jungle levels and Grey Feather + Silvermail is pretty much the non-furry equivalent of Divine Veil + Skolver Coat.
My only loadout that uses a full grey feather set (well, the helm is still miracle) is my Roarmulus set. On my Vana set I subbed in a Volcanic Demo Helm to get some bomb CTR and less stun weakness, and similarly for my Construct set.
For my Gremlin set I was running GF for a while, but gremlins deal a lot of normal damage and stun status so I switched over to a combo of Ancient Plate (Volcanic Plate is superior here, but Ancient is free) and Volcanic Demo even though I don't run bombs in this loadout.
unless you're having trouble with stun, full grey feather is better in my experience.
The best all round protection would probably be a divine veil+skolver coat. That gives you normal, piercing, shadow and elemental defense, as well as resistance to fire, shock, curse and freeze. Or were you planning to make it all from the magic path?
Well my only armour for now is miracle cloak and hood so yes its all from the magic path. Anyways thanks for the responces so far. As I see having full grey feather seems to be better for a lot of people I mights pick it. Seeing that divine veil anf grey feather mantle covered so much i thought it was better. I guess i was wrong
So is it true that full grey feather is better than divine veil + grey feather mantle?
You weren't wrong. You were just trying to build a general-purpose armor set (which I do recommend, as a first armor set). Most of the people responding do not even attempt to cover all four damage types. Divine Veil with Skolver Coat (Glasscake's suggestion) is probably the best example. But your idea wasn't bad.
Well i looked over skolver too. but i thought that DV and GFM would offer full elemental protection while DV and Skolver would cover only half of each
I'm probably telling you things you already know, but in case I'm not:
There is no such thing as "full" protection. Even with huge amounts of elemental armor, you're going to take elemental damage.
Of the three non-normal damage types (piercing, elemental, shadow), elemental may be the most important to protect against, just because gun puppies are so common. Even so, normal protection is probably more important than elemental. That was my criticism of your original set.
DV + Skolver covers all damage types: normal, elemental, piercing, and shadow. It also has resistances to fire, shock, curse, and freeze, a med sword damage bonus, and a med damage bonus against fiends. It's the most well-rounded armor combo in the game. Of course, DV + Grey Feather isn't bad either, you'll just be lacking piercing protection and are extremely vulnerable to stuns.
I guess i could get skolver and divine veil. Personally because of the new update piercing damage from wolvers doesnt bother me that much anymore. the only time it bothers me its during jk palace.
Anyways how much protection against piercing would I gain if i picked skolver? and my elemental protection be cut right?
Well, Divine Veil with Grey Feather Mantle is elemental+shadow+normal+elemental. Divine Veil with Skolver Coat is elemental+shadow+normal+piercing. So yes, you're losing some elemental protection for piercing protection. But this is okay. For a general-purpose armor set, it's more important to have some piercing, than to have heavy elemental. Also, the statuses are better on DV with SC.
DV with SC is one of the most popular armor sets in the game. Unless you use no swords at all, it is the best general-purpose armor set. One of my characters plays with it and nothing else. But I encourage you to try DV with GFM, just to try something different.
In the shallow parts of the Clockworks (Stratum 1), monsters deal primarily normal damage. As you go deeper into the Clockworks, they increasingly deal their preferred damage type (e.g., piercing for slimes). But even on Stratum 6, there is a significant amount of normal damage being dealt. So you always want normal armor. Hence a pure Divine set is bad.
Divine Veil with Grey Feather Mantle seems like a good set for an elemental-heavy stratum (constructs, gremlins). It may be a little light on normal protection. I'm not sure.
