Weapon potential help

Hey guys, so I got my xenon to level 202 (woooo!) anyway I was wondering if I should keep my current pot on my fafnir whip; it's 3l legendary, and it's 35% boss 30% ignore and 20% boss. Currently my range is 600k clean so I ask because should I be trying to have better range or just keep the weapon as is? Thanks for the advice, ad happy mapling everyone!

Speaking from experience, scrolling untradable gollux is gonna be a pain. I accidentally equipped a piece on a mule and it took forever to finish. Good thing clean slates are widely available now. Cash scrolls are out now too if you want to go that route. If you have the NX to spare, stocking up on safety scrolls might not be a bad idea. There will probably be some good scrolls by winter.[/quote]
Yeah it's gonna be a slow process i guess! But i think i'll just wait for events for protections and slates and stuff of that nature! Thanks for the help

[quote=xlxlxlxl]30% boss is inferior to 1 attack speed for anyone even remotely funded. I've shown so before mathematically. Cubing again will suck, but it's a good investment if you want to fund further. Good luck with Gollux. The deviation on coin drops is annoying on Hard. Some days I get 15 other I get 25 If your stuff is still tradable you might consider doing easy on mules as well.[/quote]
Actually the a attack speed helps that much? and unfortunately my stuff isn't anymore

[quote=xlxlxlxl]@Andypoop: Only thing you can work on now is your Gollux set, which will take a couple months assuming you do Hard Gollux daily. There's no good scrolls to use for xenon right now.

If you really wanted to, you could scroll your weapon with the 15% scroll traces and/or work on a Terminus whip if you don't already have one.[/quote]

Thanks everyone for the amazing advice and feedback I greatly appreciate it! Currently my weapons bonus pot 6% att and 6% crit, but I'll focus on main pots first then do bonus potentials after! But thanks again!

[quote=JasonMan]From my experience with Xenon, getting %All Stats is way better than %Att
Considering the max %All Stat and max %Att you can get, while how much will each cost[/quote]

Yeah...you have no clue what you're talking about. % att is far superior to % all stats, which is why if you get % all stat on your weapon, you cube over it.

PDR isn't really that important for Xenons, with just the Leafre Codex and Snipe you can damage CVellum without problems. Might need a little extra if you want to solo Hard Hilla though.

best way to increase your range is by getting %att and %allstats, as a xenon pdr lines isn't really that important since you get alot of pdr from skills+the extra 50%pdr on snipe isn't bad. so id focus on getting 2lines of %boss or 2lines of %att on your secondary, and on your hybrid heart aim for 3lines of %att, or 2lines of %att with pdr or a allstat line and in bonus pot lines aim for legendary with 21%att

Also in terms of scrolling your items, id use allstats scrolls (buy prime scroll service if you know anyone selling since prots+guardians+shields are in cashshop) allstats is really important on your xenon, the more you get the better range you get. aim for a high amount of allstats and %attack and you should be good.

[quote=xlxlxlxl]Keep the pot on your weapon.
Total damage potential is bad, so cube your secondary for %PDR, %Boss, and/or %attack. If you haven't worked on your bonus pot yet, do those after you have something acceptable on your secondary. %attack is the main line you want to get on bonus pot for weapons and hybrid heart.

As for getting your range up without %attack, you probably need to work on your Tyrants and scrolling. I'm around 800k clean with 5 starred Tyrants and SW and Alien set yolo scrolled with 5 all stat scrolls. Mostly epic equips. If you don't already have them, some scrolled Reinforced or Superior Gollux accessories will help your damage a lot.[/quote]

I have a 7 star tyrant belt and cape and 5 star nova shoes which I need to upgrade to 5 star tyrant boots. I also need to scroll my gollux set and cube it for the most part and I need to re scroll my weapon since only +5 scrolls were used on it. So my question is what should I work for next after cubing my secondary?

[quote=Andypoop]Alright thanks for the help dude! Currently my hybrid heart is 15% att, and my secondary is 6% total damage, but should I aim for % att on that also, or would total damage be better? Thanks again![/quote]

That is a great pot... if you really want %attack then cube the bpot

[quote=Rawky]no. that pot is godly. if you want range, try to cube to your secondary or hybrid heart for att %. Even if you did try to get a better potential, it would probably be costly and it would be better spent on your other gear.[/quote]
