eh, i'd argue 20 crit and 49 skill speed>>26 det

798 crit
554 det
508 sksp

"old" bis with eso helm+pipira

652 acc
818 crit
528 det
557 sksp

stat difference - +20 crit +49 skillspeed (old bis) vs +26 det (linked "bis)"

the main loss comes from using morel salad vs pipira; but even if we switch to pipira for both sets, the difference ends up being 17 crit vs 58 skillspeed (gordian vs eso). i'd take the skillspeed tbh

on another subject, the 2 endgame bis sets atm really are the same sets with same food, but different helmets. 557 sksp with eso, 499 with gordian. at 499 skill speed, the hot shot/lead shot timings are actually really nice; they refresh both at 0.7s~, and hotshot is affected by itself. at 557 you either clip for 0.5s-1s or so, or drop for 1.5s-2s. i wonder what's better in the end..

right now at 658 skill speed, my hotshot/leadshot drop off for 0.5s or so, or clip at 1.5s-2s. dropping it off is probably better, and will only get better as you get more skill speed (+fey wind etc).

i guess what i'm trying to say is, there's 2 skill speed amounts that will give you good lead/hot shot timings; 500 or lower, or 700 and higher. if you're in between you're in an awkward spot; that's most of us right now sadly
