Switching Sushi for MeatFollow

Ahoy thar! Normally I give advice or feedback on this forum, but today I'm asking for some.

Well, basically it's just as the title says. I've been a longtime cor/rng and I almost always eat sushi for anything, even colibri at the risk of getting it stolen, and I'm pretty satisfied with my M. Kris + Martial Gun setup. But lately I've been trying to push my damage further by adding more STR and r.att, and I would like to swap out sushi for something with more punch, like coerl sub or yellow curry buns. The question is, how much r.acc do you think I need to add to be able to land Slug Shot on a consistent basis while eating meat? Basically, I want to boost my overall damage without missing too often.

Here's my current Slug Setup, with M. Kris, Martial Gun, and Steel Bullets as a given:
-Commodore Tricorne +1
-Qiqirn Collar
-Silver Fox Earring (considering Triumph Earring)
-Bushinomimi (just got last night!)
-Mirke Wardecors (+10 r.acc and r.att)
-Paluhwan hands (working on Crim. Finger Gauntlets)
-Garrulous Ring
-Ruby Ring
-Amemet Mantle +1
-Buccaneer's Belt
-Pahluwan pants, relic pants also available
-Corsair's Bottes (they'd be +1 but the cor item hasn't dropped in Temenos for over a ******* year)

I'm considering options for MKE headpiece or swapping in something else for r.acc. Here's what I have available, beyond the Anwig option:
-Peacock Charm
-2 Behemoth Rings
-Vision Earring
-Beater's Earring
-slowly working on getting a Light Gorget
-Can or will be able to afford any of the Limbus backpieces

So, what do you think? Should I swap in some pieces, go for a lot of accuracy on Anwig, or would it not be worth it to sacrifice what I have on current setup? Any other suggestions, like Dusk legs, perhaps? I'd really appreciate the help.

First, what is your current slug shot acc? I think your current setup is already lacking a bit of RACC...or maybe mine has too much...

This question is irrelevant until you post your TP gear set also.

Increasing RATTK by 75 (yellow curry bun) would up damage by about 20% over sushi.

As the above poster wrote, it's about 407 acc required to cap against colibri. Sushi is 15% ACC; so without sushi you are sitting at about 353 melee acc (assuming you are capped with sushi).

This means your hit rate goes from 95% to 68%. That is a 39% REDUCTION in WS.

----

Assuming an 900 damage slug before, with yellow curry bun you get to 1080.

So in 1000 attack rounds:

Sushi: 1000 rounds x 1.9 attack (m.kris) * 95% hit rate = 1805 hits.

5.2 TP/hit = 9386 TP --> 93 WS

900 damage slug * 93 = 83,700 damage


Curry Bun: 1000 rounds x 1.9 attacks/round * 68% = 1292 hits.

5.2 TP/Hit = 6718 TP --> 67 WS

1080 damage slug * 67 = 72,360 damage

= 15% reduction in damage over capped melee ACC situation.


Eat...more...sushi!!

Looking at a max ACC build:

Ohat / Ancient Torque / Hollow / Diabolos'
Skadi Cuirie / Enkidu's Mitts/ Toredor's / Toredor's
Culchu mantle/ Life Belt/ Oily Trousers / Comm. Bottes +1

If you had all this and a m.kris with 8 dagger merits:

Skill: 272
Dex : 96
Gear: 82

Total ACC: 394

= 89% hit rate

Just not worth it in my opinion to skip on the sushi.

True, nice catch. So you can cap acc on birds without sushi...could even drop 5 ACC from the "max setup" maybe making it a little cheaper.

I still think /WAR with sushi and a little haste worked in will give better results.

I'd definitely switch to /WAR before I'd switch from sushi to meat.

That's crazy gear for the sole purpose of TP'ing on colibri without sushi.

Meriting isn't that important to me that I would even think about trying to get some of that stuff for COR. But it's nice to know it can be done. You min-max freaks have your work cut out for you.

/War with sushi is just the perfect medium imo, and I've felt this way ever since I got a sound understanding of the game mechanics years ago. Just enough Acc to maintain a full Haste TP, with /War providing pretty strong Att.. And for Slug, the sushi allows you to cap both raac and fSTR2 on the G.Colibri e.g. in this thread (with premier gear), something you have no chance of with meat. And if hit rate and fSTR2 both being capped weren't enough (it's already ridiculous), that's with pretty good WSC (AGI) and Store TP considerations taken care of.

Overall, there is really no weakness to it from a damage perspective, something you can't say of another SJ/food combination.
