Detonator Theories?

Your ranged attack value is doubled, but multiplier is lowered. It's now closer to what Y/G/K kind of WS.

Arguably as good as slug if you need 150 TP to fire slug and your pDIF < 1.5 for WSing

2*5.00*pDIF = 10*pDIF (2 slug at 5.0 fTP at pDIF)
3*1.50*2*pDIF= 9*pDIF (3 detonator at 1.50 fTP at 2*pDIF)
3*2.00*2*pDIF= 12*pDIF (using martial gun)

See, this is exactly what fucked me up before...here you show 1.50/2.00, which is what I had found on BGWiki, but your page and otherwiki show 2.50/2.75/3.00...I'm not sure which of those is the current correct info, but the 1.50/2.00 would mean that the 1400-1600+ that I've seen shouldn't be possible even with maxed pDIF. I'm a tad confused.

1.50/2.00/2.50 are the most recent ones. I don't edit otherwiki anymore after that scandal.

Edit: Ok, I think I see what's going on, I think it was just worded poorly...if your actual Ranged Attack value was doubled you'd still see the same 3.0 pDIF cap, from the math you have in there I'm guessing you meant that your Ranged pDIF itself is doubled, not your RAtk. Is that closer?

Your ratk value is doubled, not your pDIF. If you have 2.0 pDIF for WS, then with detonator you should have been able to hit the cap at 3.0. You don't get 4.0 there

And maybe I wooshed something, but why would you hold to 150 TP to fire Slug, don't the tiers of accuracy boost occur at the 100's?

It's not tiered for every 100 TP. Those who lvled their RNG on 60s pre sushi know how storing TP to 150~ can be helpful for landing Slugwinder.

Then there's still an issue, if you're saying that the pDIF cap is still 3.0. Using my gear/stats I should see at most on Greater Colibri:

143 * 2.10 * 3.0 = 900 * 1.25 = 1125

But I can tell you 100% for sure that I Detonator can do much more than that, any other COR with similar gear as me (pretty sure Kylen does) could back me up there. How would I be hitting 1400+ at 100 TP with Martial Gun? Even if I fired at max TP that would still only see a max of 1391~.
