All three give medium sword damage, and medium x 3 = maximum. If they give you maximum damage, then are UVs with extra damage against monsters wasted with this get-up?
Does Skolver Coat + Skolver Cap + Barbarous Thorn Shield = Maximum sword damage on all monsters?
I have Skolver Coat, Miracle Hood, Barbarous Thorn Shield and Dark Thorn Blade (4*, I haven't found the 5* recipe yet). That gives me Max damage bonus vs fiends, but all I noticed is that I can use the first swing to one-hit kill a devilite in the first stratum of tier 2. The bonus is not big enough to reduce the number of hits required in second stratum.
It is enough to get you from 3 to 2 shot them, which a very big deal, especially in T3.

Culture explained it pretty well, if you want a better explanation to go with a similar question I asked a while back.
Basically, family bonuses are boosted by "regular" damage, but don't stack, so "sword:max!" with "slime:max!" will give you the same damage as "sword:max!".
In short, what Echoez said:
Yes.
I'm kind of surprised that you asked this question, Mawashimono. Aren't you the Do I have the best Arsenal in the game? guy/gal?
@Darkbrady although we have the same avatar, I'm not Echoez.
And nice find Bopp xD
Whoops, my bad! D:
The two of you post in the same boards a lot and sometimes I just read the comments and glance the name/avatar in the peripherals
*wishes there was a way to just have your character portrait as an avatar*
Also, I was wonderin' that myself, Bopp. I just passed it off as "surely it was someone else".
But hey, who am I to judge, I only just found out they don't stack myself the other week...altough I would put a considerable playtime/experience gap between myself and him too o.o
Yes.
