If you follow that path you'll be OK.

Chose DA OR Glacius first and upgrade the other once you made everything else.
Having 2 elemental swords but lacking in everything else is bad.

all classic stuff

1. Any of DA, Glacius, and Voltedge (or their 4-star versions) is great in FSC.
2. Argent Peacemaker is good against almost all enemies in FSC, but not Vanaduke, if your party is doing the freeze tactic.
3. Blitz Needle is great against trojans and Vanaduke.
4. BTB is great against trojans.

Grey Owlite is one of the classic FSC shields. If you think that you can get by with much worse protection, then switch to Barbarous Thorn Shield.

Vog Cub is the classic FSC armor for sworders. The normal, elemental, and fire protection are all useful.

The simple fact is that you've selected some of the most popular gear. All that you're missing is Shivermist Buster. But only one of those is needed in a party, and only if the party wants to use the freeze tactic.

Afterthought

From experience, Silversix/AP is only a good choice when paired with Avenger/DA, as the sheer utility of the AP complements the DA the best. Each weapon type you own also synergizes well somewhat with the other weapons. My recommended combinations:

Avenger/Silversix: Decent survivalist pairing as I've mentioned. You get the most cheap and effective crowd control. Your Silversix should be used to cap zombies who try to breath-attack you or DPS any last zombies outside of your range, which will happen if you use your Avenger well.

Blizzbrand/Strike: Brandishes make an excellent all-rounder weapon, and it fills the gaps that Strike Needle has. The only thing Blizzbrand can't do is dispatch Trojans, which is why you carry the Strike Needle.

Blizzbrand/DTB: Same as above, but DTB has more crowd-control utility and helps with combating Trojans. Once you become sufficiently comfortable with a Brandish, you may elect to use another weapon other than DTB.

The only other additions I can suggest to your arsenal is diversifying your Brandish types (I dislike Glacius in FSC due to its inherent lower damage output) and adding a Fang of Vog for extremely quick Trojan executions.

In my opinion...

In my opinion your all set! Once you upgrade all your gear you will have a quicker DA which makes it very effective, plus the fire resistance that the Grey Owlite sheild provides. Good luck!

Fastdinoturtle

here's some good choices

As as a gunslinger I'm supposed to know what weaknesses/strengths soo I think FSC has fiends,undead,mechanical types so use a loadeout with pierce damage elemental damage with fire resistance, (Trojans). (gun pups)
Shadow resistance.
