Enduring Legacy, Fire Conductor vs Mental Focus

[Paolini]

Is the Fire Conductor build better than the Mental Focus build on non gley/fire characters ?

Imo on paper MF does better but in actual combat you often need to stop shooting and will lose the buff.

Mental focus buff lingers for 2 seconds after you stop shooting and you can reset it within that time.

Fire Conductor is for the fire dmg done just by with weapon, not the fire done by the descendant. So better going Mental Focus.

Mental Focus buff can be kept up as long as your magazine/ammo lasts. The only guaranteed way to lose it to reload. You have enough time to roll, even quick grapple to a spot while shooting in the air.

You can put on reload mods to get reload times below the cooldown reset timer.

No, you can not

Fire Rate -X%. When firing a firearm, Firearm ATK +X% for Xs (up to X stacks) REMOVES effect when RELOADING or changing firearm.

Mental focus is king in almost all cases. There are exceptions of course when doing something very specific with a weapon that beat out Mental Focus, but for general all-purpose usage you want Mental Focus when using a LMG with lot of ammo. The 2 second grace window makes it win out almost always.

An example of a situation where another beats it is when fighting one of the weaker Collosus like everyone's favorite punching bag, Devourer. The other mod whos name I can't recall right now that reduces fire rate by 20% but increases it by 40% after firing long enough usually wins the dps race as long as you don't get interrupted for the entire 100-200 rounds shooting it, which is totally doable on devourer but much less so on other more mobile collosus fights.
