Hello, everyone! I have a quick question, and knowing how nice the community is, hopefully it will be answered quickly. I just need some general "tips" on where to go regarding my loadout. I'll give you some information. I have full ashtail, a blizzbrand, shadowtech alchemer MK II, and a wise owlite shield. I would love to have one sword and two guns, so I am planning on buying a slot upgrade. I have about 20k CR and 3.2k CE, yes, I bought the pack. For some reason it is frowned apon... But what do you guys suggest? Which items to craft and which path to take? Thanks!
Some Help Is Requested!

Try to have a least one weapon of each damage type. Then, there´s no good or bad set. Just stick to what you like.

Equipment questions go here.
Whatever weapon type you use primarily in combat should match your armor if you want a weapon specialist set. Usually people also use the weapon specialist set suiting for the weapon type they are using the most or have the most equipped; in your case you only want to use one sword and two guns yet use Wolver line. Do you prefer guns to swords or do you enjoy sidearms?
Buying energy is not frowned upon. Buying every single energy pack derpbillion times for some cosmetic toys, hoarding the energy so it never goes into the market, and bragging how deep your pockets are will get you urinated on.

Arsenal
As Luguiru said, please move this thread to the Arsenal forum (by editing the thread and choosing that forum from the drop-down menu).
As Juances said, you probably want one piercing, one elemental, and one shadow weapon. Your elemental weapon should probably be a gun, because elemental guns are really useful for turrets. Your piercing weapon should probably be a sword, because the piercing swords are very powerful and the piercing guns immobilize you somewhat. So that leaves a shadow gun for your third weapon.
You'll probably want Shadowsun armor, to get a damage bonus on your guns against all monster families and Vanaduke.

U should make ash tails into vog cub, and extend blizzbrand. You can change your shield to Bristling Buckler line for additional sword damage. U can both extend ur alchemer for having a shadow weapon, or you can just craft nightblade line.

um
Purrifier, you're making him into a sworder, but he wants to be mainly a gunner.

He has crafted ash tail set, I suggested him to be a swordsman because of this.

yeah, I know...he's still working it out
Formals, here are some options:
* Focus on gunning. Get gunner armor. You can still use a sword as a sidearm; it just won't be optimized.
* Focus on swording. Continue upgrading your sworder armor. But this doesn't make sense if you want two guns and one sword.
* Split your class. Get a mixture of sworder and gunner armor. (Consider also Chaos Cloak/Cowl.) You'll be good-but-not-great at both weapon types.

Thanks!
Thank you Bopp, I'm always amazed by your advice and knowledge of the game. But I have so much invested in my Ashtail, even though it's not much to other players. My decision is kind of circling around your advice. I'm going to continue upgrading my Wolver but I will also upgrade a gunslinger hat. After my armor situation is figured out, I'll begin with the weapons. Or the other way around. I hope that made any sense at all, but what do you think?

danger will robinson
More than half of the cost in making a 5-star item comes in the final upgrade from 4-star to 5-star. Yes, the final upgrade is that expensive! So do it only if you really want the 5-star item; don't do it just because you have the 4-star item. Don't throw good money after bad, as they say.
If you really want to play with guns, then stop upgrading Ash Tail, and focus on Shadowsun or another of the gunner armors. No kidding. Elemental gun, piercing sword, shadow gun. You'll be great.
Don't sell your Ash Tail. Keep it for the distant day when you decide to play with swords for a while.

Processing Thoughts of You Always
(Another excellent idea for hybrid sword-gunner: Swiftstrike Buckler. Everyone else has said pretty much all the other advice that's necessary here.)

also, weapons are more fun than armor
Formals, here's another thought: Weapons are more fun than armor. Weapons offer a wide variety of playstyles, whereas all armor behaves pretty much the same, with slight changes to your speed being its only observable effect. So consider upgrading and trying weapons first, and then building up your armor.
In truth, you'll be fine any way you choose to slice it. Cheers.
I'd suggest making a Vog set, glacius and wise/ grey owlite shield, but first get all ur stuff to 4*, get a 3rd slot, it would help, maybe keep the shadow tech and get an AP for the 3rd slot, after u get everything to 5* start making pierce and shadow weapons, and pierce and shadow defense, but for the timbeing replace shadow tech with AP because of vanaduke
Hope this helps
