Please rate my 5* set

I'm still pretty new to SK set and I'm trying to plan for the future for my set. But I'd really like some advice from the community about it.
So here goes!
Divine Veil OR Grey feather owl
Vog cub coat OR Skolver Coat
Cold Iron Vanquisher (Levi might be better but I like the looks)
Grey Owlite Shield
(Need a good gun recommendation here)
I have a few questions about sets. What are some of the important defenses to have against? Is normal and elemental dmg the most prominent? So what are some statuses I should protect myself as well?
With these choices, it's possible to go for Divine Veil + Skolver Coat to have defenses against normal, shadow, piercing and elemental however these are balanced and aren't specialized. Or I could possibly go for Grey Feather Owl + Vog cub to get myself a lot of normal + elemental protection and have some nice status def against shock + fire (however having a very low stun resistance).
What do you guys think? It doesn't have to be specifically these items only, you may suggest others. Also just quickly I need a good gun recommendation as well.

I have no planned UVs really,
I have no planned UVs really, I'm just trying to get a decent set without spending tons of money so I can have an easier time in the clockworks.
Right now I have concerns with my helmet choice.
I am currently thinking of going divine veil + vog cub coat + grey owlite shield, but I think this packs a lot of elemental defense more than normal defense. Do you guys think I should perhaps swap my divine veil for the typical vog cub cap or is there any other suggestions? It's not too late for me to turn back on my choice because I still have my magic hood and I could just change into a different helmet at anytime.
I just feel my normal defense is lacking. I just think I have too much elemental and not enough normal.
As for the weapons, I am probably going to consider leviathan over cold iron and picking up a hail driver for my gun if anyone wanted to know.

Your missing 2 vital things before duke
(Divine) Avenger for elemental damage
and an Argent Peacemaker NOT Sentenza because it's useless.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Gran) Faust is also great for Jelly King
Bombs: Shivermist Buster, Ash of Agni those 2 are great
If you want go Cryotech branch or Magnus branch I hear those are decent as well.
Shields in this game are super plentiful for T3 the Grey Owlite is one of the best however it absolutely sucks until 5* Though it's absolutely worth it.
If you want an alternative that has Piercing+Elemental defense go dragon scale(that's my opinion however don't listen to me lol)
Your armor, Vog seems great for duke, and pretty much everybody uses it so why not.
Vog vs Skolver is pretty much saying Extra Attack speed VS Extra Damage, depending on what you feel like.
CIV is fine lol I use one and It works for me, here's a tip: CIV has less pushback then Levi so what you try to do is spin attack and click and hold the block button before the spin is finished you will pretty much instantly block right after it's finished. also due to less pushback the best strategy is circling around enemies like lumbers and constantly spin attacking behind their backs.
Don't really Know about your helms however,sorry.

like NiteZ said
Just make sure you either go towards Divine Avenger or CIV (most likely both when you get the energy and money to craft them). I see many people going Shivermist Buster over AoA for Vanaduke runs. Grey Owlite is a great shield so you could stick with that. You could also either go towards a Barbarous Thorn Shield (which gives a little more normal damage resist over the Grey Owlite as well as some piercing and medium sword bonus damage) or a Volcanic Plate Shield if you feel you need lots of normal defense as well as fire and stun resist. So for your final set I would say:
Divine Veil
Vog Cub Coat (or Skolver, whichever bonus and resist you prefer)
CIV and DA
Argent Peacemaker
Shivermist Buster
Grey Owlite (or BTS or VPS)
I also see people going Volcanic Salamander Mask for more normal defense than you would usually get, some elemental defense, a decent amount of fire resist with itself, and then it gives medium bonus damage vs slimes (good for JK runs). Just experiment and use what will work well for you.
First question, are there any UV's on any of those gear, or are they just the normal stats? For gun recommendation I suggest either Argent Peacemaker for more of kiting beasts and zombies (also has a good DPS), or a good fire/stun gun (probably Callahan or Magma Driver). I would say important defense would be Elemental and Normal first over everything, with piercing and shadow coming after. For your setup with your helmet and armor, I suggest Veil and Skolver or Vog. Here is my setup that works pretty well with all my runs (T1-T3):
Divine Veil
Divine Mantle (with high curse resist) and Dusker Coat (soon to be Skolver coat with medium fire resist added, which I will be able to use for JK and Van runs more often).
Grey Owlite Shield
Cold Iron Vanquisher (low CTR)
Dread Venom Striker (Medium bonus damage against undead, although I mainly just use this for jellies and JK)
Avenger (Low bonus damage against undead, going to be Divine Avenger soon)
Silversix (soon to be Argent Peacemaker)
If you can only take 2 weapons at a time, I would suggest some weapon that deals either strong Fire or Poison for Jelly runs (such as Combuster and Dread Venom Striker) and for Vanduke I would suggest CIV/Divine Avenger (probably DA more than CIV, but either is fine) and then for gun Argent Peacemaker. Hope this helped!
