Luck Of The Draw: A Corsair's Guide *NEW*

At the risk of sounding like that *** Maletaru...

If he owns both guns and has COR...what's stopping him from testing?

He doesn't, but he has access to arma very fast I think, probably he has lots of items stored. Wanted to know if it was worth it to deal more damage with Leaden, given that he has no intention of getting DP

I only have foma and DP and no intention to get Arma so I can't directly help him providing numbers from the field xD

Couple of pages back I had already done testing for people.

Didn't picture tpbonus gun to score so high but thinking about it, it perfectly makes sense.

Lines up with the sim:

DP: 42,858
Fomal: 33,974
TP Bonus: 39,512
Arma: 32,581

Yeah Gun and Bullet DMG doesn't factor into the damage of Leaden Salute it's just MAB and AGI.

Even with best gear the resistance rate is high with to TP bonus gun. Maybe fine with marine stewpot

REALLY depends on the target. I get like 1 resist every few weeks in Dynamis [D], for example.

We do always use a Marine Stewpot, but I seriously doubt it's necessary. The content is like 8 years old and we've gotten a *** of gear plus MLs since then, plus statues are only available on W1-2.

If you are having a high resist rate on statues your gear is very lacking and needs updating.

Was thinking more about Ody C, but yeah my gear is all best in slot except bullets not from DP or Armageddon and too poor for o sash

ammo="Chrono Bullet",
head="Pixie Hairpin +1",
body="Lanun Frac +4",
hands="Nyame Gauntlets",
legs="Nyame Flanchard",
feet="Lanun Bottes +4",
neck="Commodore charm +2",
waist="Eschan Stone",
left_ear="Moonshade Earring",
right_ear="Friomisi Earring",
left_ring="Archon Ring",
right_ring="Cornelia's Ring",
back={ name="Camulus's Mantle", augments={'AGI+20','Mag. Acc+20 /Mag. Dmg.+20','AGI+10','Weapon skill damage +10%',}},

I suppose I could use Null Belt in there for +23 macc when TP Bonus gun is equipped, if I could be bothered to set up a condition for that

I wouldn't remotely suggest using TP bonus gun for magic mobs in Ody C. Just take the hit in TP and use DP or a better gun or Savage Blade them.

Ody C mobs are quite a few levels higher than the dyna statues in my original post.

Is Markmanship used in the formula for Leaden Salute damage?
I guess it's not and it's just a matter of macc.
The gun lacks Macc Skill AND macc, so it's a big hit compared to any other ilevel weapon.
But on non-recent targets if the rest of your gear is BiS or close to that, it's probably gonna be enough, just like Creaucent said.

I can totally see that happen.
Speaking of Dyna, I can see it being totally fine on W1, given the pre-req we just defined, might be a bit low for W2 but that's where food will come to help, I suppose.

Guns have no magic accuracy skill to lose, so its just the macc, unless marksmanship plays a role in macc. Always just assumed its pulling macc skill from the MH

Talking crabs, pugs, Lamia and being too lazy to switch weapons or gun

Didn't realise they would be higher level than wave 2 statues

I think it's less macc and more the ilvl of the weapon or in this case lack of. I've seen far less resists with ilvl Guns than TP bonus in higher level content.

Ilvl isn't a magic bullet. Other than changing the level of your trusts and allowing you to complete ROEs, ilvl doesn't do anything directly. I mean I'm sure there are some other misc effects, but combat-wise it's essentially just a designation of "this is a powerful item".

The actual stat differences are the combat skill, meva, acc, and (in some cases) main stats. If those aren't present (or relevant) then there's no difference.

I don’t like having read that TP gun puts out leaden salute dmg…..
