Which weapon?

[Alaltus]

thank you for the answers. i tied the black pearl rings and still only did 2 crits. now working on getting the following build all +1 gear where possible and double melded with int, loresman or mp/enmity -

Felt hat of Intelligence
Felt Bliaud
Gridanian square shield
Vanya sash
Boarskin ringbands of storms
Woolen tights
Spruce pattens
Mages choker
Mages Earrings
Zircon bracelets
Zircon rings

This gives me the following stats Magic accuracy 451 and int 353

now my choice is electrum scepter with double int (acc 468 +31 from buttons, int 385)

or

lightning brand with 1*int and 1* magic accuracy (ac 467 +31 from buttons, int 369) potency +20 and lightning potency +10

Does anyone know which would do more damage?

thank you

For garuda you want INT, INT and more INT, you should be ok for acc so long as you have around 440 macc if your eating buttons in a blanket even a little less than that as my current build is 438. Heres what i wear though its not optimal.

Lightning Brand+1 +32 int dbl meld
Gridanian square shield +10 macc
Felt hat of intelligence +37 int dbl meld
Gridanian officer's overcoat +10 int
Militia ringbands +5 int +5 macc +20 magic crit rate
Raptonskin satchel belt -30 emnity dbl meld
Serpent sergeant's hose +8 int -20 emnity
Serpent sergeant's Jackboots +10 int
serpent sergeant's Earrings +4 attack magic potency +4 int
Mages choker +15 macc +20 magic crit rate
Zircon bracelet +1 +4 int
Zircon rings +1 +18 int x2

That puts me at 402 INT 438 MACC

Focus on the int > other stats generally you can always get the sceptre and trade your mages choker in for a spinel choker+1 and you wont be all that much worse off if at all.
