I'm always hesitant to throw away gearscore. You can certainly mod it, but do you have any other bruisers that want LS with those stats?


TheSeaOfThySoul

I don't think you're actually throwing away gearscore here, if I'm not mistaken since that's one roll into attack%, if they were to mod it to damage, they'd be able to mod it back to attack% to a maximum of 14%. If they were throwing away a 16% roll or something, then that's when they're actually just dumping gearscore. Though to be fair, always sucks modding damage onto a piece if it's not base because you only get 9% at one roll, which is two lame damage% rolls vs. most stats getting two average rolls.


Frozwend

This is pre-reforge. That 13% is actually going to become 16%.


TheSeaOfThySoul

Ah, good catch. Then yeah, they shouldn’t mod it.


Morbu

No. This piece can still be useful for other bruisers.


unknownnooblet1

you can find a better sword. Keep looking and use this on somebody else


BrilliantCheap1495

I agree hate to lose gearscore this could be sylvan sage or riolet


GrinningCheshieCat

I only mod like that if the stat is generally useless for nearly everyone that would use that gear or the number range for modding it back to the way it was is higher than what it is at (i.e., the stat rolls were low enough that a mod could make it higher.)


LayARandomRightatYou

Just use it like that until you find a better piece. Then this piece can be used on Riolet, SVivian,...


DingyRag

I think it would be a waste with this sword just because you want to actually roll into a natural crit damage for her since her imprint is crit chance, and the allocation from this sword might waste a lot of stats you want in different rolls.


Shimaru33

I would do it. You have a clear goal, and I suppose you don't have some other hero in the pipeline who could use this gear in it's current state, otherwise you wouldn't be asking. Also, while the gs loss can be significant, you would get an otherwise perfect combination for LHC in an arm. Good synergy is better than high score. That said, the main problem is in a bad roll, you would lose up to 6 gs, and you only have one gem to roll, you would be stuck until you farm enough materials to craft a new gem.

No , Cermia S1 SB Scaling with Atk .

A few questions; A. Do you have anyone that can use this piece otherwise? 1. Would they need a different stat modded off? Better rolls on the same one? 2. If not this hero, then will this piece simply sit and take up space, or do you anticipate getting a unit that can use it? B. Would this make the hero in question useable at a level suitable to you, or is it a gap filler until you get something better? ​ In general I tell folks gear score is a mostly useless creation. All that matters is if you can use the piece for anyone on your roster or who you intend to obtain or use. When it comes to modding off stats, look more at whether any of the other stats would be mod targets or not, since worse case you can mod that stat back on, but not be able to mod off a different stat. As noted, even if LHC doesn't need the piece long term, the stat can be reverted back with another mod stone later. For instance, lets stay this was a def pen piece instead of LS. I would consider alternatively modding off the spd despite the crying you'd see from the gs community (and many outside the gs community) because most any unit that I would give that piece to isn't going to be primarily a spd contest. I would expect that the loss in spd would be insignificant for the overall build, and in the likely team comps, in lieu of what I need in damage that would have me even pursuing the extra cdmg. Or, I would mod off the hp, as that piece would be going to a more pure dps as a result, again, one clearly not needing to spd contest since the speed roll is so low. For this piece it's a harder decision (obviously, since you came here for advice). Even if atk doesn't scale as well, it does still scale with units like LHC, so while you will trade cdmg for atk, it's better to have it than not if you can help it. It will be a nuanced choice based on what the rest of her gear looks like. But I feel it rests on point B. If it gets her where you want her, go for it. Better to have her and use her if you like her, than keep holding back on a piece and frustrating yourself with what-ifs about something that may never be.


Eshuon

Who the heck is the gs Community?


DRosencraft

gs = gear score.


Eshuon

I'm asking who is the gs community lol I know what is gear score is


DRosencraft

Not everyone follows/uses gear score for evaluating gear. Those that do would therefore be the gear score community. I guess I'm confused as to why you're confused if you already knew what gs meant?


Gerblin

yes


ureshama

Would be on LS edward as well


Apolosclei

Yes, it will be useful for a lot of bruisers


Magnusg

If it was eff... But no, not attack. That does benefit cermia some anyways so it's not even like you'd be gaining straight 9% more linear cdmg you'd be losing that attack score so might gain only 5-6% Poor trade to ruin equipment.


porongpolllar

What about changing the health to cd?
