Loose Lagicrus weapon damage math.

Against anything neutral or better to thunder Lagi weapons generally beat out Artian I believe

225 raw + (3)(3)(3) for artian vs 220 raw ~600Ele (400+ 200 at 50 thunder resist) + (3)(2)(1) + 2pts in a relevant skill.

600 ele should compensate for the loss of 5 raw

Assuming the 2pts of the skill are relevant you should be able to hit lv 3 of your relevant skill + AB5/CB5

So the trade off is 5 raw for 600 ELE and loss of status. Which loosely is probably worth it.

Flexibility of artian and being able to run AB5 + Minds Eye means artian will likely still be the meta but in the right scenario Lagi will be better raw weapons.
