So, my first thought on entering Tier 3 was that the vog cub set looked sweet.
But it leaves me with no piercing or shadow defenses.
If, for example, I had vog cub armor and skolver cap, I'd have the same normal defence, and the other half would be split between elemental and piercing.
The ultimate spread would be something like the skolver coat and Divine veil, for even spread of normal/elemental/shadow/piercing, but I'd have less defense in each than if I were focused.
Any thoughts?
