Any reason you're making stuff still, or just messing around with the tons of crowns you have now? Still, in any case, grats on that... very insane cap.

On topic, I think the closest I've seen is someone who, on the day of the "hold UVs" update, crafted a Max Max High of skolver something.

Wow, those are good UV's too. Have fun in LD.

1. Status UV's tend to be more useful. Reducing a couple of seconds from a status is better than a bar or 2 from max defence uv's.

2. You can't get general damage bonuses, which is why damage armour and trinkets are very popular. Bombs are not an exception to this rule, nor do their ctr uv's go above vh.

3. Still no general damage bonus, unless something was added a few days ago that I wasn't aware of.

Theoretically, the best Skolver would be Piercing, Shock, and Stun max.

@Toaster-Overload
Yeah, you're just talking out of your hindquarters.

Elemental is somewhat viable because of those seerus hammers.

@Derpules WRONG Piercing is the least dangerous IMO because beast is **** easy and slime is not that threatening either.
Mecha knights in packs Are REAL annoying Thwackers+Menders are a hard t3 combo.

Unless its for PvP toothpicks are worse then.

¬ Sppw

That's an awesome piece of Lockdown armor Luckyface.

If I had unlimited crowns, my perfect set would be Ice Queen with shock, poison, and fire max, because then I would be immune to all status bombs. =)

I have no idea who you're even replying to or what you're even trying to say. Also, fire and poison are very rare to see in LD. Hammers are easier to avoid than toothpick spam, as well.

Dukeplatypus gets a +1

I think he is saying tanking > damage. Or in ld at least.

Cuz we all know tanking those skolver toothpicks while standing on a point wins you the game.

Because tanking skolver toothpicks lets you stand on the point longer than they can after killing you.

And you call me dumb, kinda ironic considering your name.
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. You don't possess the epitome of moral fabric yourself there, so step down from your podium.

Sry, I don't quite understand what you're trying to say there

If you actually play SK, there's these weapons called Dread Venom Striker and Fang of Vog, both have a good chance to give their status in one full combo's worth of hits.

See: every one of Toaster's posts.

No, it isn't Nuff Said.

What does recon have to do with any of what has been said, at all?

Even though 104/104 of my friends agree w/ me, Lets just say you're right and I'm wrong and get this over with because I'm pretty sure nobody wants to spend an eternity talking about someone's comments

Actually, the problem I have with some of his advice is that it's just plain wrong, like the whole "get damage type resistances" bit.

1. Common sense would tell you you would need to uncloak before combo, then cloak again after combo, I never said "WILL"

2. So you're saying that a striker cannot attack enemies while inside locked guardian shields.

3. Yea, I never said you got the statuses from a damage inducing weapon like magnus, or a movement controlling weapon like kilowatt pulsar, Common sense would tell you that you got it from a bomb, but no, the strategies of recon are too hard for some people to learn and you just have to look at it from the striker's perspective don't you? Strikers don't use bombs and pretty much always assume the status delivery in the method of a sword slash, If you actually played at least 20 rounds w/ each class you would generalize and think of the best way to inflict status; vaporizer

I did not ever suggest that damage UVs did not exist, I said idk if shields could even get UVs

I did not deny status UVs to be useful, I simply said you could replace one of the 3 UVs with a status trinket

I did insist elemental defense was generally more useful because statuses deal elemental damage and you can't have only one UV or trinket that adds resistance to all status damage

A max or high UV cannot defend you from vaporizers because they still have the same chance to give you the status, just not as strongly

That's why I said you should give all your armors the damage type UVs, Because a damage resist UV does not make an armor less effective, only generally more effective in PVP AND PVE and again; There's always a DA recon hiding somewhere UV or not, its 2HKO from behind!

And Yukarie, you can't have a perfect armor that resists everything; that would be gamebreaking, so I'm only stating the best armor, generally, because anything can happen. Like as you said above, pierce/shock/stun,and lets say you had Skolver cap and add freeze and normal WHOOPS! You didn't resist Shadow and either a swarm of grievers from a danger room or a GF recon manage to get to you with dash or invisibility, Sing! Schwing! and its over.

As you people are doing LD, think of damage resistances as a "damage decrease to them rather than a boost to yourself" because its not like they can get their damage bonus higher than maximum which you can cancel out entirely w/ your damage resistance and because skilled strikers only use their first hit then sidestep, you'll take a bit more effort to kill in PVP and PVE

So don't blame me, I have thought this over many times and am only stating the truth and I do partially agree with you people as stun and shock are quite annoying statuses, to me, those are the only threats in statuses as you can walk off fire, poison, curse and shield for freeze.

"I did not deny status UVs to be useful, I simply said you could replace one of the 3 UVs with a status trinket"

Even a 5* trinket is only equivalent to a medium status resist UV.

"A max or high UV cannot defend you from vaporizers because they still have the same chance to give you the status, just not as strongly"

This is straight out wrong. A max + a high makes you 100% immune to minor status.

That's why I said you should give all your armors the damage type UVs, Because a damage resist UV does not make an armor less effective, only generally more effective in PVP AND PVE and again; There's always a DA recon hiding somewhere UV or not, its 2HKO from behind!

With health trinkets, I've never been 2hko'd by a sword recon.

Except that in almost all cases, you know what you will be fighting. Also, lolgrievers. You do know how easy they are to interrupt from attacking?

Except that you really can't cancel out the damage increase they do with damage UVs. Even with max + max resists on skolver, it might afford you possibly 1 or 2 extra hits to kill.

So don't blame me, I have thought this over many times and am only stating the truth and I do partially agree with you people as stun and shock are quite annoying statuses, to me, those are the only threats in statuses as you can walk off fire, poison, curse and shield for freeze.

We're not blaming you for anything. We're just saying you are straight-out WRONG about things.

Got bored, so put all my replies in bold.

And if you're worried about that, I'd think a set like Divine Veil + Skolver coat will suit your ends just fine. Look, it has defense against ALL FOUR TYPES OF DAMAGE. And now you can defend passibly against everything.

1. The way you phrased it was that a recon would be able to unleash a combo without retaliation. The only way anyone can do that is either hidden behind terrain, status'd, or cloaked. Naturally, since you were talking about recons, it is implied that a recon can pull it off better than a striker or guardian.

2. I was referring to the guardians doing the shielding. The strikers would be the teammate I mentioned.

3. Bombs are not the only status inflicting weapon. Polaris and alchemers come to mind as heavy players in the status department. You can't just say its common sense status comes from bombs. A large amount of status comes from non-bomb sources too. Indeed bombs are the best for delivering, but actually inflicting? Alchemers are right up there.

"I did not ever suggest that damage UVs did not exist, I said idk if shields could even get UVs"

And yet your first post in this thread seems to say otherwise. "2. For Swords and Guns, get general attack bonus eg. Sword Damage bonus Very High, Attack Speed Increase Very High, and Charge time Reduction Very High (Yes, weapon UVs only go up to Very High and bombs are an exception)" I was never talking about your comment on shield uvs.

A status trinket gives a bar and a half, 2 of them makes 3 bars total. Or 4. I believe that is a high bonus? You are still vulnerable to haze. Alchemers and polaris still deal status to you. And this is all either giving up on offensive bonuses, or heart trinkets.

"I did insist elemental defense was generally more useful because statuses deal elemental damage and you can't have only one UV or trinket that adds resistance to all status damage"

Actually, fire has its own damage table. Check the Ash of Agni table on fire ticks. It does not deal elemental. Shock, on the other hand, does. And the main part of shock is not the damage, which by itself is almost pitiful. Its the immobility/paralyze. Freeze too, but it doesn't deal damage upon thaw in pvp.

I meant that to resist a haze bomb, your 2 pieces of armour needs to have a total of max+high, one on each piece.

If you wish to believe that type defence is better than status, by all means. Other players believe that status is better, especially in the case of pvp. Other knights deal so much damage, and the useful statuses are easily predicted, status resistance is more useful than damage. Perhaps you are better than other players at surviving while under shock/freeze, and other players are better at dodging hits. It depends on which suits your playstyle.

You may wish to have one armour set for all situations, damage type-wise. That is completely up to you. But what many players have discovered and generally agree with is that defence will simply not stand up to a max damage weapon, no matter how much you stack on top of it. It will still hurt, and it will at most save you from a hit or two. So while it would indeed help a boatload in pve, it doesn't stand up as well in pvp.

Recons can't dash with a gf.

Most people, not all, but most knows how to prepare for a danger room. And it isn't as if danger rooms are necessary. If one is confident on facing the mix of enemies within them, they should have thought of the possible enemies that would pop up. And with enough experience, you can tell what a room consists of by the layout, and choose to either continue on the party pad or just ignore it. Or go on the wiki and look through the danger room images to find it. And this only applied in danger rooms, where you are not made aware of enemies before you enter. Missions often state which enemies are present. The elevator screen shows the status. General clockworking also shows the stratum of which you are thinking about joining. The labels themselves tends to give away the enemy content.

You could also spend a million ce, turn it into 12000ce with a 8300cr rate, and craft the armour with corresponding defence. Approximately 1600ce, counting materials, fees, and energy while ignoring heat. Then buy 2 trinket slots, and craft 2 trinkets of your choice, either to keep your previous armour's bonus or add other ones. 1200ce per trinket, 2400 for both. Add on 300ce for trinket slots. The total cost comes to about 2800ce. I think out of your million crowns, you still have some left over. If your lack of defence is killing you in a danger room, then its not defence you should worry about. It would be your playstyle. Even with full armour against an enemy, you really can't afford to take multiple hits in a short amount of time without hearts to keep your bars up. This is an alternative to your "several million cr" for 1 set that has 2 defence types, a 5* and 3* defence.
