Why is automatic better then crocodile? Discounting the rather big downside of the font from switching. Don't say use mods either, it's against the rules no matter what people say until nexon says it's okay. ;u
If you're maining gunner? Sure, I might see why. But as a secondary? You can still be serious about guns as a secondary. Especially with puppets.
33 max is a lot to miss out on.
Because Attack Speed+ helps maintain and raise damage in regards to attack speed and amount of hits.
Also, Automatic is not as intrusive as other enchants since it only goes on the gun itself. Meaning for hybrid purpose, if you're using guns as secondary it is the best setup since you don't have to change anything.
You can use your regular max damage enchants and automatic + viscount is enough. Or if you're really don't want to be intrusive, you can just use automatic + 1 accessory with lv.2 attack speed or 2 accessories with lv.1 attack speed each.
That way, you can focus your all on max damage enchants for your main skillset (ranger, puppeteer, etc.) and only lose out 33 max but ultimately gain attack speed+ for your respected gun. Especially if you go with the automatic + 1 accessory with lv.2 attack speed enhancement, you can use butterfly instead of viscount and still enjoy max dmg.
Also in the future where it is harder to get balance, automatic provides a whopping +10~15% balance as well as 10~15% critical rate, which will help with non frenzy normal attack, crossbuster, etc. among other things.
