Recube Emblem?

Should I recube the base potential on my emblem?

Base Pot:
40% pdr
18% total damage
Bonus:
21% att
6% all stat

At the moment, I'm sitting at 89% pdr without lumi link skill.

Okay, now I understand your perspective much better.

The 18% total damage would give you quite the diminished effect. If you compared your range increase to 18% atk, the difference would be HUGE.

Recube because you're clearly godly and going after a huge accomplishment.

Ideal lines would be 1 %pdr line and 2 %atk lines but it would be quite difficult to get those specific lines, I'm sure you're aware of that, as there would really be nothing else you'd want to obtain besides those lines. [b]Obvious warning: This project will be expensive unless you are crazy lucky and get the lines you want immediately.[/b] But ofc, I know if you're this strong, you've already got a lot of money and/or have done quite a bit of cubing already, so you already know the difficulties of cubing for specific lines.

If you obtain something like 30% atk, keep that lmao. If absolutely necessary, you can always drop a boss neb and get a pdr neb but honestly, I think your %atk will brute force its way through your "lack" of PDR as even if your damage is "cut," so you'll have so much range that you'll be capping on cvel anyways.

Someone like me who funds multi-mains, I would NOT recube something like this, but if your specific goal is 40m in SDH, that would imply to me that you want to commit quite a bit to your character. If that's the case, I wish you the best of luck.

I would recube. 18% TD would not be doing much for you.

I can't tell if this is a serious question or an attempt to brag...

Definitely possible, just very hard. There are people who can cap - albeit on bosses - with MC. They'd probably hit around 40m or so on regular mobs.

@zionzx If thats your goal then %TTD is fine.

@zionzx I think all your potentials are perfect already. It also seems you have a massive amount of %atk and %boss already.
Keep the neb and the %pdr as they are. Are you capping on chaos vellum already with nate? Or are you trying to go to the next level and do some KMS damage kind of stuff?

@Klytta Thanks for the input. As a shadower, I only get like 20% pdr from shadower's instinct, which I believe is multiplicative in my stat menu (89%). Altogether, from my weapon, secondary and emblem, I have 123% attack from their potentials. I'm unsure whether or not to recube the emblem for something along the lines of 40% ied/18% attack given that my %atk:%td ratio is very close to 1:1 when accounting for buffs.

@zionzx Boss nebs> all others by far. Never change them for anything else. Emblem is best with %attack and 1line of PDR. Unless you're a PDR hungry class then aim for 2 PDR 1 attack. If you have enough PDR already though I'd just go for 21% attack or so. It all depends on what your other weapons have. And what your passive/buffs do for your class.

[quote=zionzx]@CherryTigers Thanks for the advice. My pdr's at 89% without lumi link. I didn't want to list my other equips because it would seem like a show off thread when I'm just looking for suggestions. I've heard that it's best to have ~92% pdr for endgame. Since it seems like I won't be recubing this emblem, do you think I should replace a 25% boss neb with a 21% pdr one? This change of neb will bring me to ~240% boss and 92% pdr with dojo gloves equipped.[/quote]

You want to keep the neb. If anything, you want more % boss. I would say your emblem's potential, while not "perfect", is good enough for CVellum. It's kind of mediocre for other bosses, but I'm pretty sure you can handle anything below CVellum with ease.

I'd keep the 25% boss damage nebulite if I were you.

I'm going to say no but next time when you post a question like this, you need to at least post your status window and/or your other weapon potentials so we can get a real reference. If you have 96% pdr or something, our advice would be incorrect and you should recube it.

If we tell you to recube it but the rest of your equips are crap, our advice is wrong and we should have told you to work on your other equips before retouching this.
