ah...right...but the extra bonus afaik is not doubled only for duelers but for all characters...it's a double just in wep damage though. at least that's what the calculator says. i haven't played any other char than dueler so i don't know. i'd have to check the formula which I'm not really feeling like right now but since advents can hit over 1.8k+ i tend to believe it's how i said
and yeah, you lose hp but what you gain is much more important...and i posted what set i would probably have as a tank...most people don't make those weapons level 3, let's be real. in attack gringo is insane and in defense it's closer but just better

Those extra skills don't matter that much, because of the diminishing returns. HP don't have diminishing returns (unless you get crits from duellers). But yes, i agree, gringo is sligthly better than cortina even for defense and much better for attack. You also get a lot of sector damage and attack, which is ok even for a tank. Cortina+spirits+gringo is still the best set for attack, you have enough hiding from spirits and gringo and get a lot of hp and resistance from cortina. Caraibean clothing set with spirits and cortina is also pretty good on attack, you get some extra hiding, but lose leadership and a bit of resistance.
When i said you get double damage as dueller i was referring to damagers in general, not necesarry duelists.
Weapon Damage + Sector Damage + [(Weapon Damage + Sector Damage) × Leadership ÷ MaxHP]
This is the formula.
Look.
500 (weapon damage + buffs) + 0 (sector damage) + [(500+0) x 2000 (leadership) ÷ 1590 (MaxHP)] = 500 damage from weapon +buff and 629 damage from leadership = 1129 final damage before resistance.
And here is the damage with 290 sector damage from gringo combo:
500 (weapon damage + buffs) + 290 (sector damage) + [(500+290) x 2000 ÷ 1590] = 790 damage from weapon + 994 damage from leadership = 1784 final damage before resistance. The difference is not only 290, it's actually double (even higher in this particular case): 655 damage difference per hit. And this is only for a single player. Imagine a full sector. Yes, some of them may have 45 sector damage from murrieta horse+saddle and the damage difference will be slightly lower, but it's still a huge difference.
