For Last Stand? It's inferior to Laksamana+1. Refer to guide for more info on ideal sets.

not really, Last Stand for me usually does 10~12k , WF hits around 5k~8k and my sets are pretty good.

Idle piece when you're stuck cor/mage.

So, ideally, it rots in your mog satchel.

Leaden and Last Stand are often equal, or not very far from each other. Wildfire is inferior, but not useless, it still has a spot for fire weak mobs(or magic weak but dark resistant)and when you want to keep your enmity low when shooting. Niche, but not entirely worthless.
Either way Lanun+1 is the best for magic ws.

Wildfire and last stand are diferent ws, and for gimmicks nms more often than not wildfire will have advantage. But when wildfire cant benefit, it will be considerably worse.

Doing some ceizak mobs in foret, i was doing around 5k in mastop with wildfire to balance his defense with magic dmg. Against scorp, it dropped to less than 2k (pretty meh gear and no mab buffs).

But is leaden salute a better ws than wildfire? I can see leaden having more interesting gear options (archon ring, the 28 mab hairpin), wondering if i will have net gain by changing wildfire for leaden, just for gimmicks nms.

Also, how does evisceration compared to last stand? Im using a melee cor btw. Considering muwingwa, is hits pdt restricted to ranged or its a piercing weakness? In other words, last stand will have the upperhand against dagger ws?

Wildfire has 60% AGI mod while Leaden Salute has the full 100% so with the same gearset for both WS's leaden salute will do more dmg unless theres a fire weakness or a dark resistance.

Leaden is significantly stronger than Wildfire. As is Last Stand than Evis. And you can use ranged ws when meleeing without problems, the only thing they would get differently is bard acc songs, every other buff is the same.

Stop inflating the WS number by using spike dmg/1000+ TP/certain weakness target.

LS definitely can hit 12k, but it doesn't happen on every target in every situation @1000 TP, so does wildfire.

whoa slow down hero, it's not misinformation, 31 agi is great we're not questioning that, But I still use Umbani Cap, I have both and the difference leans towards Umbani for me, I can compare with screenshots if you like.

No shutup. Umbani is nowhere close to Pixie+1 for Leaden and it's inferior to Fugacity+1 for WF as mdmg is inferior to mab.

I'm no COR, but screenshots matter little compared to DPS calculations. I can show you screenshots that show KO beating Phorcys for Fudo, that doesn't mean it's a superior body.

no doubt you're absolutely right, so i never listen to spreadsheets, what works in the fight and what works on paper are two different things.

i didn't say nothing about those 2 pieces, i'm talking about lanun tricorne only, its a great piece w/ 31 AGI but I get better wsavg's with umbani, maybe its dINT or something else but it still leans for umbani on my screen.

She was talking about Lanun Frac +1, not the Tricorne. Because the thread was about a body piece. But you're still wrong if you're using Umbani as anything but a placeholder until you acquire one of those other pieces.

Ugh.

...Did you just agree to his statement and then say you do the exact opposite?
