Before the new update, I planned on upgrading my Dusker to Vog Cub since elemental damage is more common than piercing damage. But after the update, Slimes and Beasts are able to deal piercing damage so I am not sure which one I should go at. I still think that the Fire resistance is more useful and elemental damage is still more common than piercing damage and since I decided to use slow Sealed Sword line quite often, the IAS of Vog Cub is quite useful.
What do you guys think? Should I use Vog Cub or Skolver or should I have a Vog Cub Coat+Skolver Cap/Vog Cub Cap+Skolver Coat?
Vog Cub vs Skolver (after the update)

Vog or Skolver
Well, I personally liked the Skolver set. But if you want more money for ce, i think you should go for the Vog set because as Duskdash said, Vog is the armor choise of FSC. FSC is the money grinder for most of the tier 3 players so i encourage you to go for your Vog set. After the Vog, you can start another ash tail set and start developing your skolver coat.

Why don't you mix? Vog helmet and skolver coat or the other way. But I maybe cause I have high freeze on my ash tail cap.

The decision between Vog or Skolver seems like it's governed more by playstyle and weapon type and what you plan to do in T3 more than anything, and neither is inherently better than the other. (Until you step into the Clockworks and know what you're facing, that is; Skolver is better in strata that use Piercing primarily, and Vog is definitely the armor of choice for FSC.)
Personally, I'm a user of the three-hit swords and have a very mobile hit-and-run style, and something like Freeze screws me up way more than Fire does. I have shorter attack animations and shield-cancel whenever possible to get out of dodge, so I feel confident that I can maneuver well enough to not get hit. Even around Beasts and Slimes, I step back and avoid their bites and spikes, so my damage mitigation is more along the lines of prevention than reduction. So Skolver's my personal choice.
That said, since you're going for heavy swords, I'd say Vog Cub. This is a thing that you have to let your gut answer for you, and it sounds like you were already leaning in that direction in the first place. Play a bit cautiously around Beasts and Slimes, and use the IAS to not get locked in your attack animations when you need to get out, and you should be fine.
