Shell Crusher - single hit, 100% str mod, static ftp of 1.0, wind based 25% def down additional effect, duration varies with tp 3/6/9 minutes. Can be half resisted or fully resisted, resistance only affects duration not potency.
Retribution - single hit, 50% mnd/30% str mods, ftp varies with tp 2/2.5/3
Full Swing - single hit, 50% str, ftp varies with tp 1/3/5
I would hazard a guess that retribution wins, barely, at 1000 tp, but full swing pulls ahead around the ~1300tp mark, possibly earlier with the superior mods.
I would be very interested to know if shell crusher stacks with angon. Angon will overwrite other weaker def down effects (acid bolts), but the description that shell crusher gives a wind based def down makes me think there's a chance they'll stack, since the effect from angon/acid bolts/gungnir don't give any elemental affinity. A potential 50% def down when stacked..... might be worth testing.
