Is it Annihilator or Fomalhaut?
Depends on situation I think. I still get asked to use my anni more then anything else.

It depends, and the answers vary. I know you asked about gun but I'm throwing in Bow as well just for the sake of conversation.
For Bow RNG's, Gandiva is probably best for WS like Jishnu's Radiance. AG Yoichi may be next in strength for that against Fail-Not, but I'm not 100% sure. For Gun RNG's, it depends on the situation. For maximum enmity suppression for content such as Master Trials, Afterglow Annihilator is best (using either Eradicating of Chrono Bullets). Fomalhaut is stronger it would seem for other WS like Land Stand, Coronach and so on. Gastraphetes is best for True Flight only? Fomalhaut is second on True Flight I believe. I haven't seen comparisons regarding Armageddon AG, Holliday etc. The forums are loaded with this type of information. Just gotta take the time and read through it bruh.

Foma is best for Last Stand spam with light chains Anni is best for high acc needs or times you need enmity control. Also things that aren't guns exist: Gandiva is best raw damage bow, it has higher physical damage than all but Arma, but is easier to realize it's potential due to Jishnu's activating AM3 and longer trueshot distance. Tradeoff is accuracy. Gastra is best Trueflight weapon and decent at physical dps with am3 up. Fail-Not is a solid bow for Jishnu's spam. Yoichi is the highest acc weapon in the game for ranger and great for namas and jishnu's and has decent enmity control with namas. RNG has one of the highest number of RMEA at 7, don't limit yourself by asking the wrong questions. So pretty much what Verda is saying is don't be a basic b**** when it comes to RNG lol

I'd like to add while Coronach is usually going to be king of enmity the unique way magical ws enmity is calculated make Gastra trueflight spam not far behind (and maybe if buffed right slightly better dmg/enmity somewhat hard to say since the changes to ilvl dmg enmity was never completely explored). Of course wildfire would be even better for that but wildfire spam feels bad man
I have anni yoichi and arma AG hmmm after reading all this I'm really pondering making a gandiva hmm

As I've said before, RNG gets the most out of their RMEA options, so don't limit yourself to one. I would suggest covering your bases (having both a marksmanship and an archery option is great),but if you're truly pulled to guns, having the combo of an Annihilator for emnity battles and one of the others is great.
I am opting to add Gastra to my arsenal next. Trueflight is waaaay too much fun. I don't feel our modeling of ranged attacks is accurate enough to create tiers or give reliable comparisons of RMEA, especially with lots of Snapshot/Velocity Shot/Rapid Shot added to the mix. We don't model UDP packet transmissions or human error in the spreadsheets. Both of these cut into the performance of lower delay weapons more than others. If you are asking about what weapon to build, I would recommend building two.
Annihilator Fomalhaut or Gastraphetes You will cover all of your bases with those. Offline

Of course wildfire would be even better for that but wildfire spam feels bad man You mean visually looks bad or mathematically bad? On my spreadsheet arma wildfire spam currently beats dp leaden spam due to extra dps from darkness sc. That's before allies roll, having allies roll only favors wf further. TF is even weaker than leaden due to lower ftp, that being said rng doesn't have access to strong mab bullet like cor so maybe they can't get as much out of wf as cor. Although rng does get a lot more out of arma AM than cor. Offline

Another thing to consider though (and it's already been pointed out in other threads) is that modeling capped attack while also having malaise is kinda silly and a lot of the conclusions people have made thus far are based on results in those conditions. How significant is Arma/Gastra AM3 when you're using Wildfire or TF? Offline
Verda said: » Afania said: » TF is even weaker than leaden due to lower ftp I haven't redone LS testing but looks like Prothescar did the post update testing. Looking back on the data he provided he seemed to be having some difficulty and kind of rounded/assumed looks like he didn't realize they completely changed how the lvl factor works instead just assumed just added ilvl in there since I think that's all SE said they were doing. Going by other numbers in there it looks like the lvl factor is 152 (based on Motes formula of non ilvl stuff so not 100% sure) for lvl 99 and using the data Prothescar provided and recalculating for that things come out closer with the 2k tp being ~.2 higher though 3k more exactly coming to the 10.0. But I'd try an ilvl gun to make sure. Alas it's one of the few ws I don't have access to |
