I would think this is an easy answer. But I wanted to ask the math kids. Tumbler trunks or Aurum pants. ( I don't have ares and I don't plan on getting them)

Tumbler Trunks?
I would think this is an easy answer. But I wanted to ask the math kids. Tumbler trunks or Aurum pants. ( I don't have ares and I don't plan on getting them)
This is my WS setup now: Tumbler Trunks hands down unless you're really down on accuracy, and then I'd probably suggest those Perle trousers.
That's what I figured.. now I just need to kill that mofo and get a pair.
Thank you for your help. How does ares compare to trunks for drakes?
6STR, 1 DEX, 2DA vs 18 attack.
In terms of acc and crit rate they will be pretty much the same. 2%DA is going to be 2.5% increase (2% chance of 125% damage) 6STR will be 1fSTR (0.75-1%) and 2 WSC (1.5-2%). So Ares is 4.75-5.5% increase. For 18 attack to give the similar sort of gains you would have to have a base attack lower that 327-378. So ares is a decent chunk ahead of Tumbler, before we even consider the effect crits have. Hurray! And needless to say 6str > 18 attack for wheeling and sonic right.

Not a huge factor given the gains above, but it's there. I'd still favor Ares just from extending Argettio's numbers. 6STR could be 1-2fSTR depending on your other gear/stats, I was being conservative (read: too lazy do the maths twice).
((6*.5)*.83) = 2.49, floored to 2. (actually alpha will lower @ lvl80, but I haven't seen any testing yet). Again, it could be 3 WSC depend on your other gear/stats, but I was being conservative.
