Ok, let's see what I can do...
Weapons
As you have so much versatility, it's hard to say which element should be no-drop, but I'd probably go with fire. It has some good stuff, but other elements do better. P.S. Don't forget to align your Awe special to PWD!
Pike Pike is one of the few remaining hyper-offensive weapons. It deals +25% damage, take +(25/1.4)% increased damage, and as a cherry on top you use Cha in place of Luck for LS.
Haunted Dragonlord's Might restores sp based on the number of hits you make. Great synergy with werewolf's beast form.
Burden of Insight toggles to autohit, just in case you run into some high-MRM monsters.
Savage Troll Club toggles to a very low bth lean (high damage, low accuracy), which has good synergy with Mark of Wrath's The Cold whcih lowers monster's blocking.
Energy has two Harm options, you can choose which one you like most. Royal Voidrender is a vanilla 20-proc that pays sp for Harm toggle. Mighty Caissa's toggle, on the other hand, pays hp for Harm damage and sp to inflict Prismatic Burn.
Retro Golden Axe is a magical weapon - so don't use it for normal attacks! - but each time you use Paladin's Inner Light skill, this weapon will regain a ton of sp. For more standard attacks, Paladin armor compresses its own light sword.
Reaper's FSB makes it a fairly good darkness weapon, so keep it in your active inventory.
On additional note, there are two very good weapons that will return next year and that I highly recommend: Infinita Staff (february, rare GGBs) and Alchemical Unity. The former deals decreased damage to heal sp based on damage dealt; if used with weapon-based skills, you'll never lack for sp. The latter inflicts Blind based on damage dealt; again, use with weapon-based to skills (and pridelord/spotter drake) to become effectively invulnerable.
Armors
Bloodzerker and Hexbound Core are the strongest armors for fire, but both cost URs, so you can skip them for now. Torontosaurus Rex Rider deals more damage than Samukematsuri, and it deals 8 hits which makes it the favorite of many for bypassing damage caps on bosses.
Mark of Wrath has a toggle that locks your attacks to wind (with elecomp bonus to damage) and inflicts The Cold, a weapon-based nuke, and a spell-type nuke.
Moglord Tortress, Nemesis, Werewolf Transformation, Angel of Souls, and Avenger Paladin should cover the rest of the elements.
Shields
Starfish Stalwart has somesynergy with Purple Rain. To be replaced with Wyrd Ward next April.
Your Accordion Shield has insane synergy with Love Potion (+essence orb and purple rain).
Pies gives Cha drive. Nemesis and Frostval Past are also pretty nice.
Chieftain's Ironthorn comes with a Str drive.
Umazen Aspis gives +20 Paralysis potency, which has great synergy with Queen's Corgi guest.
Against undead you'll want to use Paladin's shield form lvl 1 skill. Against ligt monsters, Mana Crystal Defender gives you a small Barrier each time you use a spell-type skill like Inner Light.
Lantern of Souls to retain FSB.
In addition, if you ever find yourself with an excess of tokens, there's TropoShield in Valencia's z-token shop. At the cost of your MRM and some sp it attempts to inflict your enemy with EleVuln each time you land an earth/fire energy attack; effectively, it's 50% chance to deal +42% damage with those elements.
Spells
Though Purple Rain has been nerfed, it's still a great spell for setting up nukes and contingencies.
Essence of Carnage remains an exceptional guest. It boosts your melee/ranged attacks, and gives you Harm Backlash.
Dread and Cocytus Fiends of Nulgath (Rare GGBs both) give you dark and ice Backlash respectively. Very good for 0-turn farming set-ups.
Prototype Hunter Drone deals +50% damage and toggles between Harm and Energy.
FrankenTwilly doesn't do a lot of Healing, but he gives you +20 Status Resistance.
Bun-Banneret (when it returns to the Void) toggles to give you DefBoost. Great for blocking and dodgelash strats.
Pridelord guest returns in February with the rest of Crossover GGBs. It gives -18 Status Potency; with Spotter Drake (or another Pridelord) that's a whooping +30 to any status you attempt to inflict on the monster.
Mosquito guest (UR GGBs) deals minor damage, but recovers your hp/mp/sp based on damage dealt. The damage is minimal, but with two Mosquitoes you'll recover insane amounts of sp every turn.
Invincible Heart (also UR) is a copy of an older Frostval Rare, and it gives you 99% damage resistance for 1 round (with several turns of cooldown). You basically cancel monster damage for a round and do whatever you want.
New Year's Surprise should return to LTS around Frostval. If you get enough z-tokens from the winter donation event, a qc bth spell is very much worth a slot.
Pets
Angra Linnorm is pet version of Essence of Carnage.
Spotter Drake toggles between giving you Status Potency (and earth damage resistance) and dealing +50% damage.
Underwyrmling toggles to damage monster sp. Very useful against certain bosses.
Bun-Banneret (when it returns to the Void) gives DefBoost.
Mosquito pet, if you find yourself with a spare UR, is very much worth it for the amount of sp it heals.
Miscs
Essence Orb is a must have.
Love Potion and Shadowfeeder Pendant have insane synergy with Purple Rain. You can stack control - or celerity, if monster has Freedom - for effectively free.
Prime Chaos Orb is your first priority the moment you get a UR GGB. Its qc skill can reshuffle monster's elemental resists, and you can use it several times per turn. With enough clicks (and a bit of luck) you can make the monster vulnerable to its own element, allowing you to spam those elecomped armor skills. It's an insane misc, and something you absolutely want to grab if you get the chance.
Queen's Crown summons a Corgi guest that toggles to inflict a powerful Paralysis. To make matters better, the save is against Cha (of which monsters ususally have 0), so you effectively gain +20 bonus to save.
Goggernaut Helm gives +10 bth to every attack on the field, including your pets and guests. Note: this also affects monster attack, so don't use it with dodge strats.
Your Cracked Ornament gives +10 potency to all status effects. To be replaced with Optico if you find some spare tokens.
Hollow Dragon Amulet gives Str, Dex, Cha, and bth.
And that's pretty much it.
Hope you find the information useful, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
