Weapon comparison: Stormreach Guardian vs Stickerclick

[Redclaw1992]

Hi everybody, I have a question for the more knowledgeable ones.
At 32, optimized build and augs etc., would you say stormreach guardian would have a DPS comparable to Stickerclick considering the set crit range artifact bonus? Something like a ratcatcher case?

Quick math tells me Stickerclick still wins it out, but I'm not absolutely certain.
They're still very close though. That extra crit is pretty big.
It's a fight between the Stormreach's extra crit and Stickerclick's extra base damage and alacrity.

I can't be bothered to spreadsheet it right now, but if all you wanted to know if it was "comparable" then they both reach the same ballpark.

Actually i double checked and the bonus is not a crit range, but a multiplier on 19-20 one.
Does that change things?

I did my math based on the weapons themselves (and assuming you were using the set - there is SOME potential loss, especially if you still use wrists as your main stat slot, but nothing egregious)

End of the story is you'd need more stats and bonuses to eventually make up for the difference. The Guardian's WILL get better if you scale up higher, but there's just no way we can do that right now.
