Brew puts your mab to 900 making mab still useful but diminished.

Thats why im interested in this flat % increase to dmg. And yeh this was pertaining to brew only. Just as an idea to push out more numbers when everythings capped or giving diminished returns.

Just a quick question before I go to sleep(nightowl here):

Do the augmented/merited killer traits also grant any discernible bonus to accuracy?

I'm asking this solely in regards to making the necessary tweaks to tp and Rampage setups.

Acc/eva and other have been asked about. It would take a MUCH larger sample to check this. This mainly would be a consideration for the tp setup.... which the body piece already has 18 acc/atck/eva and 2% haste which these stats alone make it our best tp piece. So neither I nor anyone else I've read has bothered to actually test this. I don't expect I will .

The Velox harness has the same haste, and the new Mextli harness 3% dual wield and an 8% haste SET bonus. This could make a better tp piece... when we find out what the set includes, If in a high haste situation we can get that 3% from dual wield from support jobs. So, in classic SE style "Its situational" Do you want that 3% speed improvement? or do you want the pdt, and damage + from gausape?

for the charm set: epsilon earring is an improvement :P

MAB is still worth stacking as it`s been proven to not be capped by brew. Certainly if you`re brewing something where the killer effects will kick in it`s going to be worth stacking the extra killer effects, but probably still not at the expense of MAB. Also, thinking about brewing, the ASA pants with the 4 MAB are still a very nice option.

You could almost guarantee that 1% intimidation rate boost to your damage is going to beat 1MAB under a brew. The question is where can you slot in Killer Effect gear into an MAB slot that`s going to trump that amount of MAB you can get there.

1% more dmg on the top of my brew represents about a 590 dmg increase to Cloudsplitter. If i can stack together the 12.5% boost to dmg it puts me into the 65-66k+ range for cloudsplitter. Possibly even breaking 70k if the circle effect dmg boost stacks. I'm pretty sure i cant reach those numbers by switching in MAB instead.

Wow. those are big numbers. Definitely competing w/ the Cor on brew

I'm not saying you would. However, from what I know about brews and MAB, I think your best results are going to come from maintaining your MAB build and then including the killer effect gear where you can. Where the mob is suitable for it to be used. I can't see any way a % or two from killer effects is going to beat 6, 7 or 8 MAB.
