    Why not just SM and impulsive, and move forward based on proc? Aproc gets you 4 strikes at 499. No proc lets you try twice more with impulsive for 3, and no luck gives you at least 2.


    Impulsive gives DE to the next appraisal action. It also appears to no longer always crit when it procs. So you require the DE on that impulsive to guarantee you get 155 or you will fail to hit 470.

    If you SM+impulsive and get no proc you get 103. From there how are you getting 470 and 2-3 gathers.

    DE+impulsive guarantees 2+ gathers at 470+

    Example

    SM+imp proc 103
    SM+imp proc 155
    caut+meth 172
    caut+meth 115
    2 procs and 4 gathers at 500+

    SM+imp no proc 103
    Now what? You said try again
    SM+imp proc 103
    caut+meth 172
    caut+meth 115

    493 and 3 gathers.

    SM+imp no proc 103
    Now what? You said try again
    SM+imp no proc 103
    Now what? You have 200gp and 10 wear left and you are short 264.

    Where as DE+imp goes as follows
    DE+imp proc 155
    SM+Imp 155 proc
    SM+meth 172
    482 and 4 gathers

    DE+imp proc 155
    SM+imp no proc 155
    DE+meth 172
    482 and 3 gathers

    Or get 0 procs and get 2 gathers
    DE+imp no proc 155
    DE+Imp no proc 155
    DE+Meth 172
    482 and 2 gathers
