So the time has come to upgrade my heavy plate shield, I currently have ash tail armour but plan on getting vog cub (which has no piercing defence) so I was thinking ironmight would be a good complement to it, whereas volcanic would give resistance to the same status condition as the armour... But lots of people are saying that volcanic is the better shield...

Help :P

Any input woul be greatly appreciated :)

I crafted a maximum normal defense plate shield, normally I'd keep it and use the sucker, but I have a couple really good shields already. Just curious if it's so important that I must keep, or something that is only slightly improved and should probably be sold.
Any input is appreciated.

which shield should i use? and what kind of armor and helmet should i use with the shields?

also, my main weapons are also a sword and a gun, so are the armors and helmets that increase damage/speed in general better or the ones that increase damage against specific enemies?

I really want to get the Aegis cuz it looks really cool and haz good defence for health, normal, and piercing but I found out the heater shield is basically the same except it has slightly less normal defence, does elemental defence instead of peircing, and also has defence against ice. It seems as if the heater shield is better but the Aegis looks much cooler and is already pretty good. Should I get pretty good, or even better?

So ive been observing things and trying to get a grasp on what to shoot for with gear and stats. And this is what ive come down too.

My loadout i plan on useing will be as follows:

Armor:
Nameless Hat - + Normal, + Elemental, + Attack Speed
Deadshot Mantle - +Normal, +Shadow, +Curse, +Damage undead
Ironmight Plate Shield - +Normal, +Pericing, +health, +Stun

Weapons:
Blitz Needle - Pericing Dmg
Nova Driver - Elemental Damage
Umbra Driver - Shadow Damage

Either of these 2 for the last slot
Barbous Thorn Blade - Pericing Damage
Argent Peacemaker - Pericing/Elemental Damage

So I decided I'd like a weapon to inflict status at range and decided on something from the Alchemer series. However, I'm at a loss as to which status effects are most useful vs monsters in general.

I already own a Firotech Alchemer and a Voltech Alchemer, but I've only used the former in battle. I liked just kiting and setting a bunch of things on fire to rack up damage before tearing stuff up with my Khorovod. I have a Freezing Atomizer in the works, so I'm not sure if a Cryotech Alchemer would just be overkill.

What exactly are we supposed to do with level 10 items after we 'outgrow' them, so-to-speak. *I know they're bound and we can't sell them, I'm not asking if there is a way to unbind them.* When we get higher up in levels where we can craft better items, is there something that allows you to break down the items into materials for use in crafting higher star items, or use them as a base for such, or are they meant to stay cluttered in your inventory forever and ever amen.

Gravaton + shiver + agni,

basically, gavaton sucks in all the mobs, shiver then freezes everything,
when gravaton explodes everything wont spread out because of the freezing mist,
then finish it off with a agni dps or a nitrome,

what do you think of this combo?

Hey guys. Quick question.

I know the Prismatech Alchemer gets a lot of heat for having no bonuses. I'm assuming the advantage to it is that you'll never really come up against an enemy that can resist your shots damage?

Now, regarding the Shadowtech, the wiki says its shots ricochet or split on damage. I haven't seen this happening. I'm not talking about the charged shot either. What am I supposed to do to get my shots to split? Is it a proc?

Thanks in advance.

Howdy.

I've got a unique version of the Blazebrand that has an attack speed increased by medium (i personally love the sword cause of it's charge attack and bonus damage versus undead and construct. I also plan on getting Combuster in the future).
My second sword is the Snarble barb (whcih helps me aganist beasts and fiends, but i think the sword really sucks and i would like to get a better one).

My weakneses with this loadout are gremlins and possibly jellies.
