I know Justice Torque trumps them both, but unfortunately. I'm probably a long way away from one of those. I've had PCC since I started leveling DRK. And when I went up to sea to get my Thunder Gorget, I decided to grab a Snow Gorget to for shits and giggles, since it works w/ all 3 Scythe WS's Guillotine, Cross Reaper, and Spiral Hell.
I've been trying both, and I'm not sure if I can tell much of a difference, I don't have a parser, so I can't really tell which is is better? Would I be better off w/ the bit of damage tacked on to the 1st hit or PCC for the extra accy. The difference must be somewhat minimal, b/c it's hard for me to eyeball it.
Any help would be appreciated.
 
I would almost say its your preference. When I used soil or PCC for rampage I couldn't tell the difference one bit =/
That only goes for multi hit obviously, for 1-2 hit WS i would say use gorget until youget a Torque.
 
I say PCC, just on the off-chance you would miss one of your hits.
 
Snow Gorget.

Hi, Gorgets were recently proven to give Accuracy to all hits.

You may have missed this, that's understandable.

Basically a Gorget is now a PCC that gives a 0.1 fTP boost on the first hit, which usually gives a flat 30 or more damage to the first hit in a WS.

4 Acc + 30ish damage on first hit, vs 7 Attack which is unlikely to add 30 damage across all the hits.
Stuff proven on BG. So since it was proven that the Gorget effects all the hits in a multi ws it adds dmg and acc to all the the hits so I would go with Gorget over PCC.

really was unaware of that. Remind me of the comerciels in the 80's cheese is good for you then in the 90's cheese is bad.
 
Hmm... if this is true, it might be worthwhile to start farming organs for a gorget for my (gimp) ninja.
 
I remember seeing something on BG that the gorgets add 10 acc to all hits but only ups the dmg mod or whatever by 0.1 on the first hit. So if it's true, the gorget is better by a very small margin over a PCC.

According to what you quoted, it only gives damage to the first hit, and only 4 accuracy to the attacks. PCC is a flat 10 accuracy to all hits, so it could still be better.

If you're going to land all hits, gorget is slightly better. If accuracy is an issue, PCC is still better.

Fairly certain they just mean four acc over torque, hence the "vs. 7 attack."

I thought so at first, but it's as Naibara said. They are comparing the 7 skill (.9x7=6.3 acc) versus 10 acc from gorget so it's what was quoted, 4 acc and 30 damage on first hit versus 7 attack.

If this is true, I am gonna have to go back to sea farming again. Guess it was a good thing I didn't toss that Yovra organ. :bb:
 
I've been trying to find the actual thread where they proved it but after they changed servers a lot of the old history got erased...
 
Ah, torque vs gorget, that would explain it.
