Been working on fire taipans, but recently noticed that the earth version is statistically similar (sans the atk and STR), but it offers a -15% def down proc.
While the fire taipans are higher DPS, the earth's def-down effect procs at something like a 30% rate from what I've researched.
To my question: Is the earth's def-down version worth it? Does it stack with other def-down effects? On the drg forum was reading a magian polearm they have access too has a similar proc, but does NOT stack with angon/other def down effects. This is obviously a huge turn off.
I've searched for discussion comparing the two and can't find much just besides raw DPS numbers. Anyone care to offer some input?
TL;DR
vs.
Thanks in advance.
