ArP buildFollow

Has anyone tried it?

For those not familiar, it's essentially the 7/57/7 standard Marks build but with Imp Arcane Shot dropped to max Imp SS, with leftover points dumped in FA. Arcane is taken out of the rotation and replaced with an extra Steady Shot. The spreadsheet shows it coming out on top with >500 ArP + an ArP trinket (Grim Toll or Mjolnir Runestone).

If I can get Razorscale or Yogg legs this week I'll be able to regem and break that 500 ArP (and I'm rocking Grim Toll), but it feels like it would be even less mobile than the standard Marks build, where virtually every Uld fight requires some mobility. So I'm wondering if anyone's gotten a feel for if it does more DPS in actual live fights or just on the spreadsheet/Patchwerk.

All the top DPS builds in the Spreadsheet thread on EJ are doing MM stacking ArP, if that counts. I'd go for it if you can get the gear.

MM is still nicer for movement then SV is.

How so? I know MM gets a ton of damage out of autoshot, but is the loss significant enough to offset 6% damage, and the fact that SV has less instant shots, and so will likely lose out on special damage? It's just the difference that matters.

I find maximizing SV more frustrating, because to really do well, you have to be watching your sniper timers, and try to move at the best moment, to minimize downtime. With MM when you have to move you move, and then you stand still again, no worries.

I don't mean to necro this thread, but I though I'd post here instead of throwing up a new one.

What ArP rating should you attain to drive a MM ArP build? A numerical range would be great, not the "stack as much as possible".

Thank you Aethien!
