I was planning on what armor to wear into SL UFSC. I play as a support gunslinger. I noticed that there is no shadow defensive armor. Now before you go "oh but what about deadshot" take a closer look.

"Deadshot protects against normal and shadow damage. Each piece offers a medium damage vs undead bonus as well as a maximum resistance to curse. Note that it does not supply any bonus exclusively to guns, and thus arguably isn't gunslinger armor, despite its path." - from gunslinger guide.

Then I also took a look at the bomber's equipment, they are in even worse shape nothing but elemental/normal def for all their sets with bomb boosting stats

Seriously for a swordie, the wolver line has (elemental, shadow, piercing)/normal but why not the other lines?

Can you please add some more variances so people can mix up their equipment more while carrying the most effect stats?

Yes.

I think when they made bomber sets there wuz only 1 really dangerous for bomber enemy ( Gunpuppy ) which deal elem damage.
But now theres howlitzers and spinning jellies with random projectiles....Guess We need more bomber sets with different defences. And yes. Gunners ( True gunners) lack shadow defence.
But i never seen any bomber complain about that....Hmmmm. Maybe because there almost no Full bombers ingame? ....they all wear costumes with vog under it......remember that....

Pfff

im a full bonber, and personally i'd LOOOOVE some shadow defense, piercing not so much... piercing enemies seem to mindlessly follow you, easy to kite, but those jelly turret turds are really annoying .. yet they usually die from a Dark Retribution ... but i havent played the new patch yet *shudders*

maybe like, possessed bomber set, each piece only gives low ctr, but offers shadow defense and the helmet has teeth maybe, or horizontally vented eyes, too many bomber sets now? REPLACE bonbastic demo crap with this

but as for the gunner, deadshot seems to check out as very useful of UFSC , curse resist and shadow defense :) but it would be nice for it to have a med GUN damage bonus on one or both pieces, thus making it viable gunner armor

I did see a pure bomber once,

I did see a pure bomber once, full set of 4 bombs. I was in total awe.

Haha

You speak of pure bombers like we're on the verge of extinction or something...which we may be. I do carry around a set of just bombs from time to time, but it's generally useful to have a sidearm.

Back on topic, I kind of agree with the need for more options for gunners/bombers, and I think this has probably been brought up several times before. Right now I usually walk around with a Dragon Scale Helm and Sinister Skelly Suit (even if I'm going pure bomber), and I don't really like having to decide whether I should switch out the shadow/piercing defense on the Skelly/Dragon for some CTR on Demo gear.
