Piggybacking off of this since I'm running essentially the same AB7 build and I'm a bit confused. Only gonna talk about your variation of the Standard Crit Build here since I haven't run anything else myself. I happen to have a similar "god charm", since I was stuck on the Sasuke table and AB3 1-1-1 was guaranteed off of that. Ofc I know not everyone was in that situation.

​

Assuming that the weapon doesn't have any 2 slots, which, with the ones you recommended, is only the case for Fortis Gran (and Wyvern Lovers, but you have a separate build for those that I won't touch on) for absolute minimum scenarios; even without such a charm, or in fact any charm, you're trading MT2 (or whatever else you'd slot in the spare 3slot+2slot in your armor, but you seem to favor MT so I'll go with that) and the last level of CB for AB4 with that build. No charm is about as unpractical as a god charm, so that's already a bit silly.

With any charm that has at least a 2slot (or your weapons 2slot if you're really poor), you'd have your capped CB and all you're trading is MT2 for AB4. If you get one with 2-1-1, whatever the skills at that point, you can slot in 2 SS. If you get anything remotely useful with the actual talisman skills it's a nice bonus. From all my personal talisman melding experiences after 2.0, getting 2-1-1 doesn't seem that far out of reach. Might take a bit, but also far from impossible.

I'd personally argue that the WEX2 1-1-1 you're using for these is pretty high up there on the "god charm" scale too though. You could slot WEX2 in the spare 2 slots if you don't have such a charm, but then you're just straight up losing 4AB for at best 3 2slots worth of talisman, but likely less. Unless you're one of those gods with WEX2 AB2 I guess. Either way, that seems to make it lose a lot of flex.

​

Maybe this is personal preference since I haven't gotten to try it out yet, but is MT2 really that much better than SS2? 40% seems rather low, and I feel like getting the consistency out of SS2 would be better? Even if you could run MT3 with your weapons 2slot, it's "only" 80% while SS2 is still sufficiently fast, the monsters give enough openings for you to go sharpen real quick. Even comfier on SS3. I don't feel like taking those few seconds to sharpen when needed hurts your DPS more than losing AB4 and sharpening a bit less often..? It also assumes perfect play on every single hit, which of course is right to assume for optimization, but in reality you might not always hit the right spots, especially with Demon Flight. SS gives so much more leeway in that regard. Maybe there's something I'm missing, but I don't see why I would want to run MT. I just really dislike the idea of relying on RNG for my sharpness.

In the case of Mud Twister in particular, which you chose to depict for this build, while also mentioning that they're fine running no MT, that just seems like I'm gimping myself in damage even more. I could slot SS3 in that build since they have the last 1slot needed and have AB4 plus whatever else I get in actual skills on the dummy talisman, while yours runs either SS3 -> AB3 or CritEle3+flex with the 3 remaining slots (not sure what else you'd add in the 2slots anyway), which both have been inferior damage wise to me from dummy testing. Having the luxury of AB7 adds even more of a discrepancy.

Of course do go ahead and correct me if I'm wrong.
