yeah just do the math yourself in excel, eth ariocs is more damage than insight and thats without factoring in the protectors stone and that -10% to phys is a hugeeeee buff
insight has a lot going for it dont get me wrong and is def BIS if u want to hit 125fcr but if ur just going for 75% fcr then eth aroic w the stone is better

can share your excel sheet if u dont mind? i mean the easiest is still maxroll just to see the dps but then u disagree with maxroll

there are alot reason why insight end up over take arioc in damage wise .. if u think about it

well, the crit from insight even at +6 is slightly less than ariocs 50% so its beat right out the gate on that
the thing about ES is that it scales huge from +skills so greater weapon damage of insights base gets outperformed by the +4 skills on ariocs by a lot
then you add the protector stone to the wep which is like the only slot u can actually get the most benefit from it
idk how to estimate how much more damage -10% phys resis yields but traditionally -resis greatly outperforms +%dmg when you dont have any other sources of -resis

now insights med aura i think is a requirement for QOL, so youll have to still have it on your merc at least

First of all , your +6cs calc is wrong ..
you will get min +9 or +12cs depend on which setup u used which will make insight ds will be always be 60% and above

Second , insight setup will end up having same ES skill level or 1level lesser as ariocs due to the fcr in insight

3rd , proctector stone in helm also has the same effect for -physical damage as it's in weapon. The benefit of proc stone in arioc over proc stone in helm for insight is that you get the 50ed for arioc

4th , arioc weapon avg damage is wayyy lower versus archon staff ( not to mention 50% extra undead damage in archon staff )

i will skip the 5th .. u shuold know what else insight has
