It's so the anima can whisper mean things while you're stabbing them.

You know, with 600SS, maybe lower, you can now double weave with a potion. It's absolutely ridiculous.

There might be an opportunity to completely rework the opener.

H -> [LEGS + BL] -> ID -> [BOTD+BFB] -> DI -> [POT+IR] -> CT -> [PS] -> 4TH -> [JUMP] -> P -> [SSD] -> TT -> [DFD] -> VP -> [LIFES + GK] -> FT -> 4TH [LEGS]

EDIT:

My simulation shows it to be a 23DPS increase just from that swap, as long as you have low enough SS to do a POT + IR opener. That's insanity.

At 557 SS, it looks like there's a 0.1/0.2 GCD clip, so at 600, I can see a 0.2/0.25 clip. I sincerely doubt such a small clip will mitigate a 23DPS increase, which my simulation cannot account for unfortunately.

Could give it a shot yeah.

Worked around to get a decent setup with the new 230 body and I'll be using this :

I'll add one more CRIT V Mat to the body.

Edit : fixed build posted

I'm completely lost on how to make the anima work without resorting to using the augmented lore chest. Otherwise I will be stuck with 530 Skillspeed. I'm using the Horde Spear as a placeholder for now. Any suggestions? And even when I switch things around to compensate (mainly swapping savage and lore neck or belt) I end up with with under 1k crit.

This is what I've got so far.

The issue is that I know that my static won't be clearing M2S, much less M3S any time soon. That means the savage boots, arms, and head, etc will be out of my reach until at least 3.35. And because of that I'm not even sure if I should try to get Anima or the Horde spear because it screws over everything else without those savage drops. I have a pentamelded 220 with ~50 acc right now and with Lore Spear I'm sitting at stats that are pretty comfortable.

Edit: I know I can wait for the anima, but not for the Horde spear. The skillspeed loss is way to much. Can't seem to get it working no matter what I try, given my planned progression path. Should I just... deal with the 530 skillspeed or am I just better off sticking with my Lore Spear?
