Anyone know if a 2 sharp 2 atk 1 aff artian SnS (dragon ele) is better than a 3 atk 2 ele? I assume the sharpness uptime makes up for less raw but not sure how impactful 2 the 2 ele is.

Edit: also wondering about 1 sharp 3 atk 1 aff para SnS in comparison to a 2 sharp 2 atk 1 ele

[u/mister_peeberz → u/uniseptic34]

sharpness is hard to nail down on artian weapons, the basic idea is if you can stay white the entire time up until a monster usually flees, then your sharpness is good enough. with just 1 sharpness reinforcement, DB is the only weapon i've felt the need to run razor sharp/handicraft on, others get by just fine with masters touch on high affinity builds or just with nothing at all
