[PvE] Siroria + Mech. Acuity ... which do I frontbar-only?

I need to drop one of these 5pc sets on the backbar (to accomodate vMA destro), so which do I pick to minimize the loss in DPS/uptime?
For context, my backbar consists of nothing but AoEs, buffs, and a shield—so neither will be getting much uptime either way.

✭✭I'm leaning in favour of double-barring Siroria, and keeping Acuity only on frontbar.
Reason being, Acuity has a large cooldown period, during which it becomes irrelevant if it's on the backbar or not. I can also proc it reliably once I'm back on the frontbar due to the 3x instances of direct damage per cast of FP.Edited by TheYKcid on July 21, 2018 6:54PMPC/NA — Daggerfall Covenant — BGs, Kaalgrontiid

Gallagher563✭✭✭Front bar mech acuity. Uptime won't improve much on both bars because you need force pulse to proc.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Yes definitely front bar acuity. It is a DPS loss if you get the acuity proc while you are refreshing back bar DoTs and buffs.
Edit: You may also consider keeping both sets on both bars and using an Asylum staff instead of a Monster Helm set. The Asylum procs help with Acuity uptime, and are still likely to make Acuity proc while on front bar. The Asylum staff is a DPS loss compared to Zaan or Slimecraw, but after the upcoming Zaan nerf and in a group with combat prayer these may not be great options. I’ve found a Perfected Asylum staff is around the same solo DPS as Ilambris. If you don’t have IA in the group then Asylum becomes a great debuff set for keeping Minor Vulnerability. If someone is running IA then you’re probably better off using Ilambris.Edited by WrathOfInnos on July 21, 2018 11:50PM0 -

✭✭Thanks, I don't have perfected Asylum anyway, so I'm filling the remaining 2 slots with ilam for the time beingPC/NA — Daggerfall Covenant — BGs, Kaalgrontiid

✭✭✭✭You don't need a perfected AS staff to buff your dps. Using a normal one does just fine. It's legit just like a 1k difference in dps. I just use an AS fire staff, Ilambris, Siroria, and Willpower."Buzz Lightyear toy isle shot" Stormcalling/Animal Companions/Assassination PVP build hater
