Best Vog Loadout?
I really need help with what the best kit is to use for maybe a vana run. Right now im using only the Argent Peacmaker and Divine Avenger. And what armour might be better to use than vog for other levels?

Well Vog is elemental defence and FSC is shadow so you wouldn't use that armour there, I use Shadowsun personally since I use Polaris and Blitz

ARMOR
-Snarbolax Set
-Shadow Sun Set
-Valkyrie Set
-Dread Skelly Set
-Divine Set
-Armor of the Fallen Set
-Almirian Crusader Set
WEAPONS
-Polaris
-Blitz Needle
-Voltedge/Combuster/Glacius
-Leviathan Blade
-Storm Driver/Hail Driver/Nova Driver
-Callahan
-Warmaster Rocket Hammer
-Cold Iron Vanquisher
-Deadly Crystal Bomb
-Voltaic Tempest/Shivermist Buster
-Electron Vortrex
SHIELD
-Dread Skelly Shield
-Grey Owlite Shield
-Crest of Almire

The WEAPON section is a list of recommended weapons that you should use in the FSC, i would use Polaris over than the AP cause you get a knockback effect which is very helpful to take out all the gangs of slag walkers. Keep in mind you will be facing a lot of slag walkers and trojans. The recommended shield i would use is the grey owlite shield, i know you will be facing a lot of shadow monsters but its helpful to protect yourself from the most common status effect: Fire since there is a lot of fire traps. Recommended armour set is the Shadowsun slicker(like Kryzz said) if your a gunner or the Valkyrie set if you use swords. Freezing weapons helps a lot to take out gangs of slag walkers quickly, my favourite combo is the Shivermist Buster and Voltedge Combo: Freeze them, charge up sword, release it on the gang of slag walkers, dead.

Vog Cub is a popular choice for Firestorm Citadel. Most of the damage in the first four levels is shadow, but the boss, Vanaduke, deals elemental. As long as you can dodge the zombies/trojans, there's no issue with Vog Cub.

Vog Cub because it's more likely the fire that will kill you, over anything else. I run with Polaris and Blitz Needle. Polaris for crowd control and Blitz for burst damage. Not sure what the current best gun for solo is. It used to be Argent, but then they removed the piercing damage component.

If Vana deals elemental but is weak to piercing, then what type of monster does he count as? :/ I'm forever hearing he's fiend because he seems to be weak to piercing and so I've always presumed he just deals heavy shadow damage (which makes the most sense to me)

I don't use Vog Cub because the fire isn't a problem to me, remedies drop extremely regularly and the fire is easily avoided, atleast until Vana where you'll rarely use all 3 of your stored remedies, and then the handgun bonus of Shadowsun means being able to take down the mask phases in two blitz charges (I use medium charge time sprite perk, which alongside the inherent charge time bonus on the blitz plus a low UV means I can sometimes get both of these in with just one water orb)

vana doesn't count as a certain type of monster :/...
i think
Fattyduke is a fiend according to the wiki, and he also suffers from a slight weakness to piercing damage though his resistances are not the same as fiends and damage bonus vs fiends do not affect him either.
As for the best set for fsc, it depends on what weapons you're using, and what do you expect from your gear. if you want to go full DPS with your peacemaker then shadowsun will prove the best with its decent gun damage bonus, you will resist slag walkers and trojans but you will be very vulnerable to fire, fire traps, fire blocks and vanaduke himself since all of these deal elemental damage along with fire.

If you want to keep yourself protected from fire and elemental while still keeping some good gun bonuses probably sacred firefly sentinel set is best, wich will give you gun bonus damage medium, ASI medium and CTR medium, but you will lose shadow resistance and you will have to watch out for trojans and slags on the levels prior to the boss fight.

I also recommend you to change that peacemaker for a blitz needle (or a glided griffin if you find Antiguas to be your preferred tool for the job) since piercing will deal the most damage to the fattyduke and a good blitz charge deals insane ammounts of damage.

But it is hard telling you what "the best set" is when you say it like that because that depends on what you want from your gear, there is no absolute best loadout for fsc because it depends alot on what you do with it, I could give you a more accurate response if you could specify what you want.

my FSC loadount consists of:
  • seerus mask stun high
  • shadowsun slicker fire high
  • penta heart pendant x2
  • crest of almire
  • rocket hammer construct VH
  • blitz CTR med
  • polaris
  • argent peacemaker
  • trueshot from sprite (med dmg bonus for guns)
I am going to craft the sacred firefly shade set some time to replace my current armor, but else that set works very well for me.
Hennils Dec 9, 2014 @ 8:06am 
For me it is:
  • Black Kat Cowl (Fire Low)
  • Chaos Cloak (Shock Med)
  • Swiftstrike Buckler (Elemental Med)
  • Combuster/Glacius (CTR Med) (Choosing which fits the group)
  • Blitz Needle (CTR High, ASI Med)
  • Maskeraith (Hot Blooded [Fire High])
And additionally one necro'ed discussion per day.

Chaos Cowl
Chaos Cloak
Quickstrike Buckler

Polaris
Blitz Needle
Sentenza
Venom Veiler

Glass Cannon with guns is too easy, no reason to use anything else.

Chaos set, swiftstriker, combuster, blitz, vortex/crusher, shivermist, sword and gun damage medium trinkets, asi high (or medium) combuster/blitz, Health +6 bonus by pet. I use this set and I am fine ;) Of course if you are novice, this is a risky set.
