Toyed around with Armor Shatterer after finally unlocking it (PUPs been on the back burner...). Fighting Canyon Scorps (EM) in Tahrongi, I was averaging 2500-2650 *** using MountedChampion/VV/RR. Wondering about a stat mod, I swapped out RR for GH and lost about 400 damage. Stacked VV/RR/Omnipotent for DEX (87+110) and damage returned to 2500-2650.
Also the def.down seemed nice, as a AS >> AS with tactical switch yielded 2550 >> 2960 on the same scorp.
Went back and compared possible AGI vs. DEX mods:
Omni/VV/RR (DEX 87+110)
DC Low Eva Scorp
2854
2955
2904
2920
Kirin/GH/VV (AGI 95+100)
DC Low Eva Scorp
2310
1976
2300
2129
These are just a small sample size, but comparing the numbers, the difference seems to be more between the use of RR (crit dmg+30%), and not a stat mod. I'm wondering if maybe this is a crit WS like String Shredder supposedly is, even though it reads: "Delivers a fourfold attack. Additional effect: Weakens defense. Additional effect duration varies with TP."
