    X's blau vs Balu sirocco

    I tried to search, couldn't find anything, but was wondering would x blau combo really beat out blau sirocco for overall damage. I would think the DoT and the faster tp gain from the lower delay would but the later over the top. If anyone has any tests for this i would love to see.

    Difficult. The higher your TP damage ratio: WS damage ratio becomes, the better blau/sirocco becomes comparatively (such as in a merit situation). Blau/SK will never pull the same epeen numbers as X/Blau, but in terms of DoT it is above by a fair margin which can make it a better combination.

    I wouldn't use Blau/Sirocco over X's/Blau on any higher-end endgame targets though.

    X/Blau.

    Sirocco's lower delay doesn't beat out the higher D and atk/acc bonuses from Blau.

    parsed all three combinations after i got X's. over 100 fights blau/sirocco won over X's/blau in DoT by about 3k but X's/blau did 10k more in WS dmg. X's/sirocco lost both. dont have the parses saved anymore

    plus im sure it doesnt really matter much but the slight increase in tp per hit off X's is nice, 15 return off a non TA or DA DE.

    Xs/Blau. With skadi legs and brutal you can replace the rajas with an accuracy ring and still get 10tp/round, definitely worth it.
