"The multi hit skills in endgame raids are generally things you don't want to tank" - have to disagree with this. Quoting kayangel and akkan as end game raids isnt really accurate, and i can think of many examples where you do want to tank hits (abuse your push immunity while in sura attacking) - voldis g4 big yellow triangle, thaemine g2 before 160 when he's hitting three small triangle cones on an aggro target, even thaemine g3 sword rain/155 statue mech if you have aggro - all these are examples which multihit and yet you want to be in there bashing away. also, have you considered that sometimes you want to press X to get your shield up at some point while punching in order to mitigate a certain hard hitting attack? if you rely on your X to restore 1 adrenaline stack, but do that AFTER you've already taken damage, then your shield is only up for 2s and unavailable for the remaining 8s. all in all, for the extremely marginal damage ceiling increase (if following community guide's calculation), i dont think master has a lot of worth to deliberately aim for. sure, if you dont get to cut critical on your elixirs, then master is fine, but like you said, (1) if you're looking to main it then you want to eventually aim for 5x3+2 and critical, and (2) if its an alt then you would rather get not so high quality accessories, in which case EP1 + critical would be the far better choice.
You also Need to Consider that critical will Shift your dps a Bit more towards to all Skills and Master boosts Identity Quite alot but your normal Skills dont gain mich from holen from 93 to 100%crit Chance also critical also increases your Identity damage just a Little less than Master stacks
Yes this is also a consideration but i also think whoever goes master will need to aim to max quality gear. And yeah there is also a good damage outside of asura state that is nice portion of overal dps.
Well this clears alot there is actualy a table of exact damage difference, 5x3+1 critical+ep1 is 16.69% damage increase over 5x1 and master+adren1 is 16.98% so yeah it is higher cieling but i tought that keeping master uptime will be much worse than this. Anyway seams both are pretty much close will more likle be decided by player uptime than elixirs
Its actually not as simple as that as I've learned more. With Master set, you are using Adren and KBW whereas with critical you use EP + Adren 3, which means that: 1 - KBW + Adren are just better scaling to begin with and will not be subject to as much diminishing returns compared to EP + Adren 2 - with EP, you have to stack to max EP for max efficiency, so overall you end up losing even more compared to Adren because Adren is locked and loaded right out the gate. Additionally there are many raids where EP is removed between gates so you end up having to stack it up again. Again at the end of the day it is preference but it is pretty clear that if you are able to upkeep at least 4 stacks of Master at all time, you are doing quite a bit more damage than Crit Elixir + EP 1.

When you compare dps for master vs critical, how much crit do you have? I found that I need 1845 crit to get 100% crit rate with master but for critical it only needs 1761.

@@MisoxShiru 22 entropy, 7master, 5 adren, max from crit stat is 66 so you end up on 100. I personaly made my one build in the end. I play KBW3 Adren3 and RC1.

I disagree with your comment that it is easy to upkeep master stack. I dont think you're playing your breaker at full potential since majority of the dps window in end game raids has a high chance for you to get hit not once but multiple times. So critical is the way to go.

Thanks for the clarification. I think Im still going to go critical because it's one less thing to manage, and Im a boomer with no hands, lmao.

That is not sadage since diff is realy small and you will probably be more consistent with ep1 critical then adren1 master.
what if i have adr 1 and bracelet whit 5% precision, should i go for crit or master is ok?
how much crit % do you have in the end is the question.
precision doesnt work on asura engrv

Critical will definitely be cheaper to build but I don't think you need 100% crit on Master to hit the same damage as Crit elixirs.
