Weapon Comparisons: Crit-Rate vs. Attack+

[azwethinkweiz]

End-game weapons question:
How do Gridanian Cesti and Ifrit's Claws compare?
I know this isn't a simple 1-to-1 comparison, because the GridCesti have higher crit and lower attack speed, while Ifrit's Claws have higher damage, attack+, and +fire damage. But I wonder: which one is "better"? For auto-attack DoT, does Crit-rate+25 reign supreme? Or is higher damage + attack + firedmg better overall?

I don't have the time or energy to farm BOTH of these weapons, but would like one or the other, which is why I ask.

Has anyone parsed this kind of crit-rate comparison? If not specifically for PGL, then for any other class?

DMG. DMG. DMG. DMG. DMG.

Seriously, lower DMG = crap. Doesn't matter how high/often you crit. Only Mogfists can compare with Ifrit's, IMO. Even then that's probably subjective/wrong.

As Seravi Edalborez said. Go with Ifrit's.

[azwethinkweiz]

Hmm, I didn't think it would be that clear-cut.

So then the question is: what do I spend my Gridanian GC points on? (苦笑)

If you really want to spend your points and already got the patriot's Bracelet then probably Serpent Sergeant's Belt. Decent Belt for Pgl.

Shield also looks ok for GLA, if that appeals to you.
