When I am not serious about the requirements of my dive into game play,
My ideal load-outs are as follows:
> PvE (1): Swift movements, erratic causes of damage, and the not so available safety net of my shield for my reckless playing that the spur line influences upon me.
- * Mercurial Helm
- * Mercurial Mail
- * Swift Strike Buckler
- * Deadly Shard Bomb
- * Winmillion
- * Seraphynx Lv 50+ (shield only), Elite Iron Harness, M.S.I. perk
- * (no trinkets)
> PvE (2): I will officially be the slowest piece of luggage in any trek through clockworks purely for the sake of improving my timing with slow weapons and bad situations.
- * (full Ancient plate set, including the shield)
- * Triglav
- * Iron Slug
- * Big Angry Bomb or Irontech Destroyer (whichever has the slowest fuse)
- * Seraphynx Lv 50+ (heart attack only), Elite Iron Harness, Health Bonus perk
- * Penta Heart Trinket x2
> PvP (1-recon): Just for the fun of catching someone with the large weapon's charge as my opponent watches. I feel accomplished when executing this correctly. Nothing else in that match matters.
- * (Demo suit & helm series),
- * Torika series
- * Freezing Vaporizer series (recon)
- * (no trinkets)
> PvP (2-striker): Playing tag in LD.
- * (Gunslinger series)
- * Cryotech series
- * Toxic Catalyzer series
> PvGAME: Proto stuff. Because anything can be done as long as you have your imagination. And a sword. Not to mention, I like the challenge.
Understand that I do not own half of the stuff mentioned. These are just ideal load outs of my own.
What sort of load out do you use when you feel like you can afford to bring non-essential items into your mode of play? And why?
It's funny, actually, since I happen to have all those currently in loadouts for Lockdown (Two weapons though so my Ancient is Triglav+Big Angry Bomb and Triglav+Slug) and pretty much use them how you explained. Only difference is that the I don't have Deadly Shard Bomb but only Radiant Sun Shards, Ionzied Salt Bomb, and Heavy Crystal Bomb. You should get them so we can have Clockwork/PvP fun using them!
For non-essential items if it is PvE I will usually take Slug (love that USEFUL gun--not sarcasm) or some other fun weapon like Triglav or Dread Venom Striker and Volcanic Pepperbox or Neutralizer. Why? Because it's nice to have a different arsenal/weapon usage than most of the players. People even tell me they've only seen Iron Slug and Volcanic Pepperbox once-those seen being my own.
