The people above me pretty much made my point for me so maybe you'll accept you're wrong from someone else.You'd run with 0 debuffs?
I mean, there is content out there where that works, but I doubt that that's the optimal path for most content.
Already said i was wrong about this my viewpoint was mostly based on the pre relic era and off ele assumptions.What "newer players"?
Let's say you have 9x 21% Assault FLB weapons. That makes you hit 189% Assault.
You run elemental advantage, a friend P2W Eidolon (100%) and offensive Soul weapon. That's 175% Elemental.
Which is better for you, Adra or Crom's Crotch?
And mind you, this is with the quiiiiite unlikely scenario that you're running 189% Assault.
