Well, these two pieces of gear have the exact same colors as the voltail, especially the toasty wolver tail that matches them.

Suggestion here: Add a shock aura and change "Dusker" to "Voltail". That's it.

They're fine as they are. Adding a shock aura and chaining the name would lead to confusion, as people would expect them to have shock resistance.

I more or less meant putting in a shock aura as an accessory. Still, I'd love the name to be changed to "Voltail" armor. That and if people should expect resistances based on an armor name, then why doesn't the Snarby armor have stun weakness? Skolver fire weakness? Vog freeze weakness?

Yes, I'm being difficult, but I'm being wistful and wishful! :P

So this isnae a suggestion as much as your plans for your next costume, while wishing there was a shock aura?

It is a suggestion, since I'm suggesting they change the name of the dusker pieces to voltail. I'm also suggesting there to be a shock aura. The suggestion's in there... somewhere. :P

Or since it's called dusker, just make it a little more purplish. It's a 3* to have fancy effects, plus the freeze resist would be more weird than it already is.

Please don't change the visuals of the dusker armor. It took forever to find something that looked decent with my eyes and tricorne.

@Malsvir-Branea, Monsters of a certain status aren't weak to the opposite status. They are just immune to their status. Salamanders are immune to poison, Volcanic salamander suit has fire resistance. Vogs would preseumably be fire themed, hence fire resistance.

@Juances: "Or since it's called dusker, just make it a little more purplish. It's a 3* to have fancy effects, plus the freeze resist would be more weird than it already is."
Read the previous posts. I never suggested a change to the armor visuals, just to the name. I also suggested that a shock aura item be added into the game, not to the armor itself.

@Irthan: "Please don't change the visuals of the dusker armor. It took forever to find something that looked decent with my eyes and tricorne."
This suggestion isn't to change the visuals of the Dusker armor, only the name. Please re-read.

@Oatmonster:
Of course. Still, why is a basic wolver coat resistant to freeze when it's not any status variant of the wolver family? Why is the snarbolax coat resistant to freeze when it shouldn't be? There already are inconsistencies in the status resistances. That and it begs the question if they're reserving the "Voltail" name for something in the future. I sure hope not, since we already have enough wolver armor.

[Also: I'd recommend NEVER putting shock resistance as standard on the dusker armor. Then it would be the bona-fide most-used armor in T2 LD... if it already isn't.]

Maybe Dusker is supposed to be the bridge between a common Wolver and...Ash Tail, the fire version? Which implies the armor is supposed to be resistant to fire? I got nothing. They probably just ran out of ideas after Dusker so they just threw in Ash Tail as the 4* then have it upgrade to Skolver or Vog Cub, though Ash Tail implies fire. Why not make the 4* Alpha Wolver and make a new Wolver called Dusker? They still have to either take the status resistance away from Wolver and Gunslinger lines up to 4* or add some resistance to SDemo line up to 4* among countless other balance issues.

Shouldn't ash tail and vog be resistant to both ice and fire? I know that's OP, but just thinking about it ice usually isn't that effective against fox-cats made of freaking magma.

Well, the thing is, Lugiru,

Well, the thing is, Lugiru, that Dusker is a Toasty color set (which makes sense to be a bridge to Vog), but that color scheme leaves it with the exact coloration of a voltail. Maybe they could like... make a separate line of it bridge off at 4*, which would go up to Voltail? I don't know.

Speaking of which, yes. Ash Tail should have FIRE resist and Vog should have both freeze and fire resist.
Also, I think all wolver armor would be balanced if they were given stun weakness. Boom. Then Max Stun UV's would mean jack in LD and there'd be a ton of stagger storms flying around. :P

Anyhoo: Dusker name -> Voltail name... or maybe a new 5* variant for voltail (which would almost undoubtedly become the most used wolver armor if it was given damage increase)

Dusker

Actually, I've seen Duskers in SpiralSpy. They look and act exactly normal Wolvers but they're reddish and dark brown just like the 3 star equipment. I don't really know why they were removed, but they look exactly like the armor which still is called Dusker. The Alpha Duskers are in there too. Alpha Dusker is what the gear refers to, so aparently they were going to be in Tier 2 but got removed for other looks.

Really? That's... strange. Welp, disregard this suggestion! (I'd still love a shock aura to put on my Dusker set so I could pretend to be a voltail.) u.u

How about just asking for a shock aura instead of asking for a visual/name change to a current set and/or asking for a new 5* set branch to be introduced purely for the looks? There's plenty of "fur coat" colourations that should come close enough, surely?
