Isnt WEX kinda dogshit now? Focus strike do so much damage that I dont feel like hitting the wounds to get higher affinity for that specific spot is worth it.

It’s not only for wounds but the weak spots. You just get a little extra for wounds on weak points.

Not to mention you can still crit with focus attacks. In fact focus attacks are probably where WEX excels.

Fair point actually. So Wex is potentially cracked with proper setup.

It's still definitely worse than old WEX, but that's not at all a fair comparison cause that shit was busted as fuck.

Definitely think it's still good and probably contributes a lot to crit boost builds even when not hitting wounds. But without a question notably more investment, and with offensive decorations being a bit more premium it'll have to fight for it's slot a lot more. Which I think is a good thing.

I wasnt thinking of it in my DB builds but with the amount of wounds I generate currently it would be probably worth running.

WEX is a level 3 armor deco so it is expensive but not on the level of weapon decos

With Flayer it might do some serious sustained damage.

Yup was just thinking of how I could incorporate it into my set im planning to use, cause it wasnt a part of it at first...but flayer + wex sounds great for an elemental DB setup. Rath DBs potentially w/ masters touch.
