I mean yeah sure having 100% uptime is better, but compared to other sets, besides Mechanical Accuity, it actually has an extra 3 secs when you switch to the backbar and when you switch to front bar you have already enough dots to instantly get it to 5 stacks.

Compared to other sets like Hundings or Spriggans you lose all thw 5 pieace effect as soon as you switch.

I use TFS front bar and on combat metrics I have 78% uptime 5 stacks and Im doing my rotation completely normal not speeding up the bow rotation.

when Summerset hits I plan to use it front bar with Arms of Relequen set on both bars since this set needs 20 stacks.

Mechanical accuity will be less reliable and stamina will lose a bit of penetration in summerset

    Because 4300 * 0,78 is 3354. This is worse than Spriggans and significantly worse than using Lover and a better suited front bar set (like Briarheart or Acuity).

    If you put Spriggan's or Hundings you will have their effect around 60% of the time since you lose them when you switch to the back bar. so spriggans has mean 2040 penetration instead of 3400 and Hundings has mean of 180 WD instead of 300

    Accuity won't work as it used to and briarhart is not an endgame set. if we remove accuity from the system then sets like twice fanged would be much better than most on front bar

    Acuity change is not a nerf for most classes.

    Briarheart / war machine / Ravanger / Acuity / Sunder (for grps without a stamplar) / and a few more.

    Reason Twice Fang is body only is because the proc works in stacks, so lets say you get 5 stacks, you go backbar, you loose your stacks. Now on frontbar again you will have too work up those stacks again.

    Briarheart is a very decent endgame set that will see a lot of use with summerset. Same as Advancing Yokeda and Ravager thanks to jewelry transmutation. And still, lover is 4200 penetration flat. You can get weapon damage from front-bar sets instead of warrior. That doesn't work with penetration.
