If you read a bit further you will know that I'm already putting White Horse on the clothing and getting elegant over dignified on the WPC because I do want the resell value on the WPC. Corundum =/= light and is better as I get the same damage boost for melee. For bows I either use my Ego LLB which is currently 25 str and I'm constantly leveling it and also a 63% Crit Xbow.
Steel Needle is my ultimate goal and which is why I don't want to dignified my WPC. Once I get Steel Needle I'll go dignified that. Crit doesn't really bother for this set since I have another set dedicated to crit which currently consists of:
- Stiff Thief tail cap
- Principle light armor
- WN wpc
- Stiff Revolver 190 xbow
- Critical hit master title
With this set and base stats I have around 120% crit, it will reach 125% when I get elegant on the WPC and 140% once I get r1 xbow mastery when that comes out in g13. Crit wing bow would only then increase that by 10% and make me hit softer compared to the 27-27 xbow, only other advantage would be the range which is +500. I plan to replace the stiff thief on the tail cap to round flame.
Thanks for the input.
Light over Corundum would be less suited for melee, but it would give you extra 4% critical... Round over corundum would give you 12% critical, adding up to a total of 16% critical for the loss of only 6 max damage.
Since you do mainly use an ego LLB, critical should be more important because you will be getting far more damage than critical from your ego bow. It's great to have a critical set for places where it is required (like your crossbow outfit), but by no means does that make it any less crucial to have 90~110% critical on your main bow.
