No I had a brain fart, you can obviously equip Akatos AND Bayeux Bullet.
For some reason I thought of Bayeux conflicting with Akatos in the ranged slot.
That makes no bloody sense, how did I even think that for a moment lol? I apologize!

Even on ranger you lose the weapons skill arrow for SB when you equip the bullet. I really wanted an Erp.

You don't use a gun for Savage blade on Ranger anyways, so the bullet doesn't make sense for RNG. There's a bow for that

True, but RNG could use bayeaux arrow for 20 STR and enmity-50, if you are concerned about enmity. Not as potent as the 20% WSD, but it's a bit of a mix. Though you need a different prime for that

I, for one, don't regret getting Earp for COR. Ranged physical DD isn't the most common thing you do on COR, but it is far and away the best physical ranged tool in the toolkit and made a significant difference on Arebati. It's a nice option to have for the rare cases where you need it.

For the dedicated COR who wants to be BIS for every situation, it's an important piece of kit. If you're a casual COR who doesn't find themselves in those kinds of situations, give it a miss. Depends on your level of interest/investment and what you typically do on COR

You're right it was a bit unclear. I meant it gives you capped -enmity, which makes savage a bit better in terms of enmity.

Arguably the dex helps with dmg consistency a bit given Cor's lack of natural accuracy.

What situations and fights is Wildfire and Last Stand used? I'm wondering if I can get away with just having SB and Leaden sets.

Unless you have a prime, Last Stand is the best physical WS you can use. It also closes Light for Savage Blade, so that's quite useful. With Fomalhaut you can make double Light.

Wildfire is mostly just used to close double Darkness, but it can be used in some rare cases for the damage. Last time I did this was meme strats against Zerde. It's not very good, but the SC property is unique so you really can't get by without it, in certain content.

Between a Savage blade and leaden set you would have everything for a wildfire set, and close to everything for last stand.

Ghosts/Skeletons in Sheol C, Umbrils/Bhoot(if I'm soloing it on COR) in Sortie are the only places I Wildfire.
