Given that it has the same MOD as last stand (AGI), I would use that.

Hot shot is a hybrid ws, so it would be a mix between your wildfire and last stand set

        })


The only issue your going to have is ACC, if the first physical hit misses, you lose the magical hit modifier, so it will do crap for damage or just miss outright. The magical hit actually depends on the physical hit to hit hard first, and uses that number to mod the second hit.

Some major takeaways that might not be super obvious compared to other weapon skills:

As noted above the magical portion is based on the physical portions damage. Literally uses it as a base for it's calculations. Because of this WSD and ftp bonuses are EXTRA important as they are used in the physical portion AND the magical portion multiplied each time effectively squaring it or so.

A couple posts later shows it in formula though note it's more generic accounting for a 2nd physical hit so can take out for hotshot and just use that to calculate what will increase damage the most.
