Even if it isn't a large upgrade,being able to have something better than Jukikiak is nice for unstacked Rudra's. I remember coming back from a break and being shocked we were still stuck with that thing. Lol
Yeah, it's a decent upgrade. I'm just not that keen on it because 1. Aeneas synergises more with unstacked Rudra's whereas Twashter synergises more with unstacked evisceration, and I use the latter and 2. 6 dex in an unstacked rudra's is akin to approximately 200-250 actual damage with good attack at high tp values. That can add up over time if you use a lot of unstacked rudra's, but here's the catch. To put this in perspective, my normal non critical non aftermath autoattack hits deal more damage than that, a single empyrean aftermath proc more than triples that, aftermath crits can do 2-3k so close to 10 times that, and with proper buffs my strongest stacked rudra's have come just a few K shy of actually hitting the damage cap. The difference between jukikiak feather and the stone in unstacked rudra's is literally in the range of about a tenth to a hundredth of a single percent increase in thief's overall damage output today. Gere Ring last month was a vastly more enticing carrot than this is.
