Basically what it says, I'm doing a new playthrough and I'd like to go for the overpowered build. Any tips or tricks are also appreciated.
What is the Best Gear in terms of defense?
- Thread starter HeilloHitler
- Start date
I think the best evade item in the game (it's not an armor though) is the Jetpack you can get on Uveto.
That's an accessory item and something everyone is bound to be using. Evasion is something largely to be found on 'sexy' items, I believe the winner is the gem links from Carbonado.
Why would you be using the jetpack when you can be using hte anti-blind thing instead? I've found that being blinded is by far the worst thing that can happen to you, other than stuns... And you can't block stuns, unlike blind.
Unless there's some way to avoid blindness without using that, that I don't know of
It works for smugglers, who use evasion as their prime defensive stat.

I roll with a jetpack, reaper mk. I (or was it mk. II? The one you get from the orgy room) shield, steel tech cat suit and hardlight bow+whatever evasive melee I had. Never really a fan of taking health damage, since you can't just replenish it on the spot.
I'm a melee drone Techie, I have the Weavemail Dress, Reaper Shield, Mk.2 TamWolf, completely forgot what undergarments I'm using, and I have a thing for shock, so I have the Shock Bow and E. Vamp Blade, which aren't the most powerful but hey, style counts for something right?
Melee Merc! Void plates, Nova shield, thermal undies, salamander longcoat, hardlight bow (Is anyone working on a bow or hunter expansion?), and the monofilament saber

The new electric penalty that shields have forced me to stick with the lightning duster as accesory. For armor, I use the weavemail coat, since the BV armor must be ugly-looking.
As a ranged Mercenary, I'm torn between the Saurmorian Railgun and the Aegis Machinegun. I don't know if any of the new guns is better than those two (and also can't find the Kattom guy in Uveto anyways). My melee choice is the Plasma Hawk.

I'd like to know what are currently the best kinetic weapons, since the overhaul stuff and the new bunch of them changed a lot of things. In fact, I think that a thread with the current best weapons for each class should be pinned at the start.
The last time that I checked, the Saumorian Railgun was the best kinetic weapon, followed by the Aegis Machinegun. The Hardlight Bow was among those lines, maybe a bit lower. A negative thing about the first two is that they cannot crit, have an evasion penalty (who affects Smuggler players, mainly) and given their descriptions, are ugly and cumbersome.
A bit unrelated, is there any kinetic weapon with the "Energy Weapon" or "Laser" flag?

Myrellion Kattom sells a hardlight rifle that has 28 kinetic damage with energy weapon tag.
My melee Merc uses the Warden Shield for the fortification and defense, I'm hoping for a big fucking sword soon to go with it, I think she's using the Monofilament Saber but it's not really her style. Her and my Smuggler are secondary characters for testing purposes and such, though, my Techie is my real Steele.
The best kinetic weapon from Uveto seems to be the Stormbull Shotgun. A bit below the Railgun, since:
Railgun: 42 Kinetic Attack, -3 Evasion +Accuracy. Bullet and Penetrating flags. Cannot crit flag (negative). Free.
Shotgun: 35 Kinetic Attack, -6 Evasion. Bullet flag. 40,000 C.
Machinegun: 29 Kinettic Attack, -2 Evasion +Accuracy, +15 Shields. Bullet flag. Cannot crit flag (negative). Free.
The machinegun should be less ugly, on top of having less evasion penalty and extra shields. All this talk about uneasthetical weapons makes me want to write some ultra-expensive weapons with gold, jewels, ivory and all that stuff.
I dont know much about the Warden shield, what stats does it have?

>All this talk about uneasthetical weapons
The primary way I pick my weapons consists of "would this look cool on this particular Steele?", with stats as a secondary concern (though still important)
So far, the Appollo Plasma Rifle seems both cool and a very strong weapon (possibly the strongest energy weapon) because it's described as a military weapon, and those tend to be very professional looking

I stick exclusively to shock weapons and bows, because I have a thing for them, so the Shock Bow and Emmy's Vamp Blade.
The Warden's Shield has like +4 evasion and +20 fortification, some accuracy, and 4 damage.
I try to keep a balance between stats and looks too, so I'm glad I'm not the only one who...
...wait, why does the Essyra Greatspear tower above my character?!
I'm excited to see the spreadsheet, the wiki isn't updated with all the new stats yet so scouring for what to build can be a hassle.
You'll probably be waiting a while. There is a LOT of stuff to go through and vary limited time to do stuff with.
