Yeah. Question is simple. Yokeda or Acuity? And why? Thank you.

    Yokeda has better 2-4 piece bonuses and gives more crit on the 5pc than Acuity does on average.

    It seems Acuity is more of a niche build now, whereas before it got nerfed you'd see this set used a lot. I've seen some people use Master Architect with Mechanical Acuity, and when they both proc at the same time you are doing some serious damage, but that is more of a magic build where it seems you are stam. I'd still stick with AY as it seems to be more consistent damage (in terms of DPS on a target dummy) compared to MA. But obviously, Lokkestiiz/Relequin are going to be your main option sets as a stam DPS, but if you can't get Lokkestiiz then AY is a very close second.

    i have both rele and lokke non perfect versions. since i usually go with randoms or not very organised people lokke doesnt do much.

    i cant use rele very well cuz all the lag ( i believe sorc liq light skill makes the lag lol) makes it very hard for me to build stacks. my LAs doesnt register sometimes and i have to do more LAs to keep stacks going which i could have do skill/LA cancel in that time.

    Yeah, that seems to be the case.

    Fair enough...then you might be better off using something like AY with VO on the body pieces, so you can be in full control of the sets and not rely on other people for synergies (Lokkestiiz) or potential performance issues (Relequins).
