Wild Fire
Does anybody know how high MAB augment can go on Blood Gauntlets? I've personally only ever gotten +1 MAB. Those might be best if it's a decent number, no?
Haven't seen any report about mab on w hands, but unless it's something like 5 or more it can't beat Alruna or Thaumas. Though they can get some nice snapshot and marks skill for tp.
No clue, but even if it went up to 3-4 it still wouldn't beat alruna's for wildfire, it would need to be at minimum 4.5 or higher MaB for it to out damage alruna's.
Wyrmal Hands forced HQ is Snapshot, and I don't believe MAB is even among the common appearing additional augments. You'd be extremely hard-pressed to get a worthwhile MAB value on them. Not worth your time in the slightest,

i got a couple questions. I just Got my arma the other day and am very impressed by it thus far but id like to push it more. I dont got access to provinance yet so am wondering if anyone can name some of the better body armors for WF. I currently use lokki body but was considering ACP one with maybe MAB and Mag crit?
also i saw earlyer someone mentioned MAB on w. legs augments. Mab on w legs is very rare, but it's reported that it can go as high as +6(I spent millions on tatters and not a single mab was given..)
As for bodies: Tessera > Athos/Khepri > Loki > Mirke. Mind you WF can't crit and QD recast on Mirke is one of the musthave pieces for a cor, so I'd still make it QD/mab. You're a COR... ACP body is always 4MAB/-5QD recast.

Mmmk thanks you 2, i wasnt aware the acp body had -5 gq recast. Thats freakin awesome. I am currently on my way to redo it now lol.
Supppose ill stick to lokki's till i get access to provinance or get lucky on rex. Also guess ill go denalli or af3+2 pants till later also.

You'd be extremely hard-pressed to get a worthwhile MAB value on them. Not worth your time in the slightest, MAB is a random augment, so you wouldn't be seeing it until like the 500th try, let alone getting 5 MATK needed to beat Thaumas. The Thaumas set is pretty neat since some/if not all are good for both Last Stand and Wildfire. Well I got MAB+1 Chom and I've only done about 15 tatters tops lol. But that's just it, that's the highest I've ever seen, was a meager 1. Ok. Looks like I'll have to get Thaumas then in the future. Still need to build the gun but i'm moreso just doing my research now.
There isn't much to add to the topic anymore, ideal set requires 4/5 Thaumas and stormsoul rings. Karin obi if possible.

Sveltesse Gouriz/Obi > Aquiline.
I'd actually stick with the Elder Grip because it gives more of a boost to your Fire Shot and you leave it on full time anyhow. Though in the grand scheme fully mathed out, not sure which comes out ahead. Either way, the difference is obscenely minimal, I'm sure. Probably the same for Gouriz<>Aquiline.

Karin obi if possible. nvm from the obi i guess WF but how come Agi over MAB :o Agi is better?

There's some variation depending on your target and buffs, but in most situations if AGI:MAB is great than 2:1, use AGI. This is a WF thread so..
If agi is more than doble the amount of mab then it wins, same reason why Elder grip is better. This is a quick rule to judge equipment, however on different mobs the setup may in theory need changes too since enemy's int plays a role in calculating damage.

Bismarck.Ramyrez said: » Either way, the difference is obscenely minimal, I'm sure. Probably the same for Gouriz<>Aquiline. MAB+1 and AGI+2 are pretty similar for WF, one can be higher than another depending on your current AGI/MAB. There are times old Loki beats Mirke, and vice versa, and Loki v.s Mirke is 4 MAB v.s 6 AGI. Using elder is really just because it also boosts fire shot, but for WF it doesn't always win, the difference is very, very small though, and not worth the pain to find out which one is better on different situations. And optimal WF set already posted in COR 101 thread, I felt ignored that nobody reads it T_T I always forget there's agi on Mirke too.
Also let me point out that I say it's a rule of thumb and not to be taken 100% of the time. However on average at equal mab/agi values(1:2)you're most likely better off with mab as you're going to have less of that compared to agi. Then different mobs, different sets, etc. 
Necro Bump Detected!
[53 days between previous and next post](478.5 + 4.8*AGI - 2*Enemy's INT)*MAB
does this equation stand true? Thaumas looks amazing! I used this and found that over all the large agi inc boost a lot more damage then the MAB on items of the same slot can account for. Not tested, just calculated. Thanks (*^.^*)
By the way, I'm pretty sure you can't crit QD either.

We didn't know about the jacket augment till people won it in the lottery. But yes, Khepri beats Saio.

Since the latter can be augmented with WSD+% Would have to do the math. Gut says they'd be pretty close. But Eyeballing gets you nowhere. Phoenix.Sehachan said: » We didn't know about the jacket augment till people won it in the lottery. But yes, Khepri beats Saio. Also, this. Yet another failing by SE. Don't bother telling us what's possible and make an informed decision. Let us twist in the wind! Edit: Also, I'd take either right now, as I'm still using Loki's. Go self-fornicate, Botulus, Prov Watcher and Legion.
