Greetings,

I'm looking for some suggestions on what my next few crafts should be. This can be anything from an armor to shield to even a trinket!
This is what I currently own:
Acheron
BTB
Combuster
DA
Leviathan Blade
Proto Sword
Series of Rocket Hammers
Argent Peacemaker
Blitz Needle
Proto Gun
Series of Dark Retribution
Snarbolax Cap
Proto Helm
Vog Cub Cap
Skolver Coat
Snarbolax Coat
Proto Armor
BTS
Proto Shield
Swiftstrike Buckler
Tri-Heart Pendantx2

I am a swordmaster (obviously) and enjoy both PvE and PvP. If I were to get another pice of gear for PvE, what should it be? If I were to get another pice for PvP, what should it be? Thank you in advance! If need to know any more info, just ask me.

In that order : Crest of

In that order :
Crest of Almire or Dread Skelly Shield : you need a good shadow shield for harder things
Grey Owlite Shield : you need a good elemental shield for harder things
CTR, DMG and ASI trinkets to mix and match
Gran Faust for LD and to complete your swords choice
Sentenza for C42 as a side-arm
Complete Vog Cub and Skolver : for more freedom to mix and match, and have full resistance against themed levels

I've recently started using swords and I find Venom Veiler an indispensable support for when using them. It's great when there are a healers about.

I''ve also had success with it in Lockdown.

I would suggest that you should get a bomb like an Electron Vortex which can be very good for LD and maybe a Polaris.

my two cents

You don't have every great sword, but you have every great type, so you don't need more swords. You might get Fang of Vog, for its charge attack. You might try a Troika- or Cutter-line sword for fun.

You have very few guns. When used well, the alchemers are extremely powerful --- even to someone used to swords. Polaris is a popular sidearm, and can be fun and effective (and also irritating to your PvE teammates).

You have very few bombs. Voltaic Tempest and Stagger Storm make excellent sidearm bombs for slowing down tough crowds of (for example) fiends. Graviton and Electron Vortex work very well with swords, especially if your party knows how to exploit them.

Defense is less fun than offense. But follow Fradow's advice to finish your Skolver and Vog Cub sets and get Grey Owlite Shield and Crest of Almire or Dread Skelly Shield.

Processing Thoughts of an Absence of Non-Swords

You might like to get a Vortex for clumping enemies for lots of damage. You're also going to want CoA and GOwlite for defensive purposes at some point, unless you're great at dodging and never use your shield for defensive purposes. I would go for an Umbra Driver as a shadow gun, too, which will help you to take out polyps and jellies quickly at range.
Trollaris and Gran Faust may be worth a thought, the former as an utility gun and the latter for PvP purposes (since Acheron's standard attack's range is relatively small).

Please note that I might be a tad biased in my suggestions.

*Cough* Triglav/suda, WHB/DVS, winmillion, electron vortex, and iron slug/callahan *Cough*

Trig and suda are great all rounders, and have smashing charges. WHB and DVS are hilariously fun to mess around with, as is winmillion. Electron vortex is an amazing utility for swordsmen, as you can simply clump the enemies together and spam charges. And Iron slug and callahan are just fun to use, and can be useful if you learn to use them correctly. I've seen plenty of callahans in t3 ld, and iron slug is still due for a buff, so, yeah.

Thank You!

Thank you guys! I'll probably finish up my Defenses first then. After that, I'll probably invest in a GF and Voltaic Tempest.
