Stake Driver charge R2 IS the single strongest attack in the game IIRC, but it also always fully drains stamina and has the huge charge time. Chikage trick mode charged R2->R2 is pretty competitive but then that drains HP. I haven’t used it much but I imagine the Whirligig Saw from the DLC is also competitive in that aspect simply because it’s a pure S scaling strength weapon.
All three of those work best with different builds though so if you’re already doing like 40/40 for STR/SKL or something then yeah i don’t think anything will be stronger per single attack
I guess I’ll have to try that then since I’m balanced in STR and SKL. Got no points in BT or ARC and I’m like lvl 150 so those roads are a no go at this point.
Is it ever worth using a stat scaling Gem over a straight damage percentage gem?
It is, but only for STR and ARC. The scaling is super weird and for whatever reason isn’t strong enough with SKL or BT. Also, they’re only really effective if the scaling of the weapon you’re using is natively low, like C or maaaaybe B. If it’s already A or S then it’s meaningless.
Yea its not worth the slot to boost an A to an S scale.
