Finally access to Bulgogi

PVP findet sowieso kaum statt, im Zweifel Channel wechseln und gut ist. Hatte seit Start genau 2 PVP Encounter

So apparently they shadow buffed/updates Deadly Gamble so despite the ingame description it reduces CDs by 50%. Since that's the case and we do not have any other ASPD steroids, Quickcarve is probably the way to go.

Same map as Devas, no random range mount offs, less KD, patrolling boss tho so gotta get the kill timing right when doing multiple channels.

As for Bear alternatives, anything around Pathfinder with decent density will do the trick, Runekeepers or Mugatos are fine.

EXP for ET or LOT would be nice. More channels for devas and bears is not really necessary.

There are other spots that yield pretty much the same exp and potentially more exp/hr that are never contested.

I abused a spot on gunner where I could farm 3 channels and kill 20-25mobs+boss every minute+vanguard. Roughly 160k per kill, 900k per boss at 3x exp which means around 4m/min all the way up to 58. Could probably do up to 60. Other classes should be able to do 2 channels and take like 1:30 to clear which is still pretty good exp.

There also decent alternatives to velika bears that give more exp/kill. They arenot quite as good as bear because of density but its pretty close and easier to grind solo (gunner excluded lol)

Most formulas for this game are available which means there is no need to do test runs and "feel". In fact, sample size of test runs is so low it might lead you to the wrong conclusion. Just build yourself a spreadsheet and let math save you a lot of time.

You need to be aware of what power and crit actually translate to in a practical sense. Crit Factor increases average DPS and makes DPS less volatile. However it has no impact on floor and ceiling unless you hit 100% on specific skills which is not possible on our current patch.

Power increases floor, ceiling and average DPS but has no impact on volatility. Moreover average DPS increase favors Crit in most scenarios.

Cases where you might want to prio small portions of Power over Crit: score runs, low enrage uptime, specific dungeon crit buffs

For these occasions you can just use Power charm instead of Keen or Swap Crit Neck for Power Neck. Playing around with Vyrsks is also an option.

Since you can't hit 100% Scythe Crit Chance right now You can basically go Crit all the way.

Depending on your healer the general rule of thumb for equal dps gain is either 1:2 (Myst) or even 3:4 (Priest) vs enraged bosses.

As you pointed out that Scythe CD is absolutely abysmal right now you can make an argument for energetics however these make you chug even more mp pots but its overall smother gameplay. Math for DPS is not as easy and you need to make assumptions like 100% uptime . In the end DPS is about the same compared to Crit etchings at the cost of even higher mp drain.

Regarding your brooches, you can use both, like prebuff 1 then switch gearsets to equip the other. If you have to pick, 40 power is the bigger DPS increase+has higher ceiling.
