True Crit Element vs Crit Element - Difference?

[Fraktal]

Can anyone breakdown the numbers for me? About to go from Velkhana armor to Sol Armor.

Currently lacking a fire and dragon Safi weapon, but I like playing element build.

Next is getting element charms for +attack.

3 pieces safi and 2 pieces velkhana is SLIGHTLY stronger than 4 pices silver los.
velk is a 1.35 multiplier (i think) and TCE is aproximately 1.5 multiplier.

For Great Sword, Hammer, Hunting Horn and HBG for CE has a 1.5 multiplier and TCE has a 1.7 multiplier.

For LBG CE has a 1.25 multiplier and TCE has a 1.4 multiplier.

For every other weapon CE has a 1.35 multiplier and TCE has a 1.55 multiplier.

Silver armour is just too inefficient, and as already mentioned 3pc Safi and 2pc Velk outdamages it even without Resentment. I tested a bit on the tenderized training wagon with a water HH and the spin numbers were ±10% of each other, with Safi+Velk > Silver > Teo+Velk. Obviously Teo+Velk is the best option because you need MT on HH.
For monsters with really bad elemental or raw hitzones like Zin, Safi etc. Safi 5pc is more consistent than any elemental crit skills, but if you want to run ele crit then go for Velkhana I'd say. You lose too many valuable raw boosting skills with Silver compared to the alternatives, and every elemental weapon except CB's phials (CB runs Safi anyway, so free raw skills) is >60% raw damage anyway.

silverlos is still meta for bow
the only time safi+velk outdamages silverlos is if you have almost perfect uptime on coalescence

Thank you for the replies. The safi seal doesn’t really appeal to me, but I’ll craft the safi AND sol pieces anyway just to have them.
