What to do next

[Bragi]

I got a commando account and i am wondering what i should get next for it. Should i buy better gear or save money to rg? My gear is:
-Pigface Klappvisor
-Striped armor
-Hourglass gauntlets
-Plate boots
-Steel sword
-Sks
-Normal barricade

Id get some plate mittens, then a vengeance/steel cutter, then a short heavy barricade (get t4 engineer first to use it), then you should go royal guard and buy a defender shield and move up from there

Okay, thank you

If your plan is to make RG then my opinion is that armour rating will not be decisive since as long as your shield holds you rarely get hit. So to support the team as shielder best I'd do the following:
1. make hero
while you're T4 even a good shield wil not hold for long and your melee ability is also limited. While you can pick better EQ up from the ground during the run there is no replacement for your tier
2. get a stronger shield
shield is the primary EQ for shielder ofc, if low on budget get Defender later to be replaced with Aegis
3. get an SHC
the team is really in trouble when cades go down, so SHC is always most welcome support

What is the best of vengeance and steel cutter, and how expensive are they?

Around 550k (you need 110 HM to craft them, HM is roughly 5k atm).
I advise you to get a Vengeance. More damage and bonus against shields.
