You're right, I totally forgot all the clothing. This is
fixed!
About the best gears, I think this patch was an excellent balance fix, many weapon and armors can be considered as "optimal". Weapons were usually increased in damage and decreased in price, while the resistances on gears have been decreased. It might make the game a little harder.
By keeping in mind that (usually) crits are 5% chance of dealing 2x the damage, we have the following for weapons :
Ranged, best for damage:
-
Saurmorian Railgun has the best damage in the ranged weapon, but is only usable by the Mercenary, has no crit, but a bonus to hit
-
Stormbull Shotgun has the second best raw damage for ranged weapons, with one of the best accuracy boosts (but an evasion malus)
-
Hirudo Devourer has very good damage and the Vampiric flag
-
Apollo Plasma Rifle has the best damage of any Energy Weapon (and so benefits from many Tech specialist perks)
Ranged, best for defense (mainly for melee users or lust attack)
-
Aegis Light Machinegun has very good damage and 25 shields (right now only usable by mercenary)
-
Zil Champion's Bow and
Royal Shard Bow have the best evasion boost (6)
-
Hirudo Devourer has very good damage and the Vampiric flag
-
Warden Shield has 20 Fortification (so 20 bonus HP)
Ranged, best for lust attack:
-
Rudimentary Revolver is the only ranged weapon with sexiness
-
Bimboleum Emitter has the best tease damage on weapons
-
Myr Venom Thrower ignores blind (blind prevents tease attacks, so this makes the Myr Venom Thrower an excellent backup weapon) and uses drug (some enemies are immune to tease but vulnerable to drug, for example Chaurmine)
-
Royal Shard Bow has the best evasion boost (6) and provides some backup lust attack when blind or when drug is needed
Melee, best for damage:
-
Saurmorian Hammer has the best raw damage but can only be used by Mercenary
-
Plasma Hawk and
Tweaked Jolthammer have the second best damage (Jolthammer has an accuracy malus and a crit bonus)
-
Vamp Blade and
Tweaked Vamp Blade can drain shield
Melee, best for defense:
-
Vamp Blade and
Tweaked Vamp Blade can drain shield
-
Tweaked Lava Saber has 15 bonus shield
-
Taivra's Spear and
Hardlight Dagger have the best evasion bonus (6)
Melee, best for lust attack:
-
Bio Whip is the only melee weapon with lust damage (it deals drug damage. It also has +1 sexiness, like many other melee weapons)
For Accessories, many are now valuable:
- The
Light Jetpack still has the best evasion boost but the
Explorer's Cloak now also gives 8 Evasion (and 1 Defense)
-
Allure gives 7 sexiness
-
Flash Goggles are still great for any Steele who has problem with blind
-
Lightning Duster,
Salamander Longcoat and
Knitted Scarf give various resistances (only 25% Cold for the Scarf, but with some armors, it might be enough to change "I'm dying" to "it's ok" on Uveto).
- The
Aim-Assisted Eyepiece gives 6 Accuracy. I'm not convinced.
-
Tam-Wolf 2.0 has still the best damage, I believe
- The
Bimbo Siegwulfe is still able to take down almost any enemy if you can wait 100 rounds (by doing 1 lust damage every round)
For Armor and Clothing, there has been a lot of nerfs on resistances, but I think that almost everything can be used in a good situation. The most interesting is probably the following:
-
Gemstone Links has now not only the best sexiness (10), but also the best evasion (11), and
Nurse Outfit also has 10 sexiness now.
-
Armstrong Suit (Premium) has the best Shields but
Steele Tech Suit is probably better (and one of the best armors now), with 15 shields, 30% Electric and Burning Resistance.
-
Winter Gear and
Sleek Parka are probably the best choices on Uveto.
-
Transparent Zipsuit still has the best Electric resistance.
- I recall that Khan's
Simple Lab Coat has Corrosive and Poison resistance (but these are rare).
-
Gray Goo Armor has the best Kinetic resistance
-
Chitin Plates and
Weavemail Coat have the best defense (9) (but Chitin Plates has some malus.)
-
Business Clothes have a good fortification (still less than
Insulated Coat) but also 3 Accuracy and Crit Bonus
