no, you cant replace RoRG, I have a 8cdr Vigilante, tried it, the captain set is way better, the bonus from the set AND the cost reduction is not replaceable by the belt. You lost 2CDR+the cost reduction, when you out of wrath, that means death, cus for shotgun procs 3 of the bean each shot...those LOH is live saving, in solo (unity+SOJ) isnt better than RORG+SOJ in survivablity. Besides if you want to roll CDR on unity, you will loose a lot dps from the stat....Gem wise, it's diminishing above 33 level, melee sux in high level even plus the new gems.
I plan to run vigilant belt.. a SoJ + Unity of which neither have CDR and the Swiftness gem... so my CDR is:
This gives my AC a cooldown of 19.4s, 100% up-time. Even if my gem only has half-stacks it's still a 21s cd and given that it's an on-hit effect, hell i've managed to gain all 15 stacks from 1 attack before... The only time stacks drop are when there's a lack of combat and i'll just hit the next pack a couple of times before going into AC.
Explain to me again why RoRG is needed? For solo SoJ + Unity are king, nothing comes close... As for cost reduction don't make me laugh, If your having resource issues you either have to much attack speed or your not managing your valor/provoke very well... The only time resource should be a slight issue is on the RG and even then it's not that bad, certainly not worth optimizing stats for RG.
As for the other gems, Mirinae is pretty much a staple gem for this build and I feel like Powerful is better than Trapped unless your able to get trapped to like rank 50. at rank 30 powerful will have 100% uptime and thus it's 4% damage vs 15% elite damage, not a tough decision if you ask me. At rank 50 trapped has 30% damage at which point I would say it pushes ahead of Powerful as increasing damage increases the effectiveness of elite damage and thus 10% damage > 15% elite damage but this would require you to be doing rank 48+ Grifts.
I feel like we attack to slow for Taeguk to be effective, and the other gems just don't really do anything for us.
