Sorry to ruin your imagination. But there's no way you can get those stats in Mistbreak items. There's a limit to the total of secondary stat like Crit, Det, Acc and SpS.
For example, the gordian chest piece have 94+66 total points for secondary stat.
The mistbreak chest piece will have like 33 Acc 79 Crit 81 SpS, with a total secondary stat of around 94+66. Not sure about how Det calculation.

I dunno about that. Seems totally random. Are you saying only one stat can be high and every other stat is capped at 66?

EDIT: Sorry to ruin YOUR imagination.

Hi aikaal, really good guide, really helped me a lot ! but i dont understand the part that you say if u have eno and sharp ready, to perform then fire1 followed by fire4 , and you say to make it from umbral ice, not from astral fire... how is that? if i cast fire1 from umbral i just wont have the 3 astral fire for better f4 dmg... i dont get it ? ><

Could you quote what part you are having problems with? I might be able to clarify what he means.

The rotation when Sharpcast and Enochian CDs are up. These CDs should be use inside the Umbral Ice rotation. Not inside Astral Fire.

the part after normal rotations, then there is a picture that says "precasted sharp+eno" f1 f4 f4 ... etc, and that it should be done in umbral ice... f1 without f3 ? u wont get 3 astral fire for bigger F4, i dont get it ;_; thanks in advance

You use both Eno and Sharp while in Umbral Ice before casting F3 and then continue with the F1 - F4 - F4 - etc. I perefer to do Eno - F3 - Sharp - F1 myself, though.

I think Ether will be better, I did some quick testing and they were around the same DPS but the Ether rotation lasts longer so it should be more overall DPS. Gonna try it out in A2S tonight and see if I can beat my previous best.

Anyone have the problem in Thordan where your F1 gets cancelled with around 0.3-0.4 seconds left on the cast when you spin around for to dodge Dragon's Gaze? My spin lasts maybe 0.2 seconds max.

Also, any idea why Spiral Piece just before meteors is sometimes hitting the tether targets for 13-16k and oneshotting them from full?

Need to be as max range from the tether as possible and make sure you don't get clipped from someone with ice.
