Burning damage perk for canons

hi Guys,

I’m just starting to add these burning perks to my sniper, reg canon and exp cannon. I actually run 1 level 50 epic sniper, another rare level 50 sniper (about to get a leg sniper from achievement so will be running that w tdms) and exp cannon epic level 40. Question I have is: which type of canon is best for burning perks if I run a firebomb and flare gun ie my opponents are always on fire. I realize all of them is prob the best answer but if you only have one or two, what’s the best one to put on first and second? Thanks

 

fire perks for cannons are most useful on cannons with high base damage (x% from high base is of course better than the same % from low base, you know this but still good to mention) so they'r awesome on blast cannon (blast) and explosive cannon (ex cannon)
ex cannon or blast+flare gun is current meta because of the insane burst damage adainst everything (except for enforcers with two tesshields)
if you don't ex cannon or blast then use them on highest damage (without perks) cannon in your setup-in this case the epic lvl 40 ex cannon
use of fire perks on sniper cannons is pointless because their normal damage is low (so boosting it with fire perks is not as good as boosting ex cannon's damage) but they are awesome with maxed crit chance (45% at max) because they can do 2k+ on crit hit and that's awesome when you consider its projectile speed and range

 

Great points! Thank you. Your comment made me think about sniper set up. Currently use 2 crit chance and 2 crit damage on my epic cannon, all epic perks. Bc of this setup my crit chance is written as 30%. Damage is 2000-2200 when it crits. Do you favor more crit chance and less crit damage or do I have a good balance?

Now that I have a leg sniper, only have 3 spots for perks so have to figure out which crit damage/chance perks are the best to use. Thoughts?

 

I think 3 crit chance and 1 crit damage is best (or the frost cannon perk). I would use 3 crit chance perks for 3 perk slots for more consistency.

 

Spoiler: spoiler

I used sniper only as fixer weapon and I had only rare crit chance perks and only t2 epic sniper so I'm not real sniper user but I think I may help you somehow

I think that there are much better advisors than me when it comes to sniper cannons but I will still share my thoughts
few questions you need to answer to yourself when you want to decjde which perks you want to use:

• do you have enough perks? enough epic crit chance and crit damage perks
• do you prefer higher damage per crit shot (one or more crit damage perks) or lower damage but more often (one or no crit damage perks)?
• do you have all sniper cannon crew skills that are available for you?

maths can be done (and it's easy) to figure optimal perks setup for maximalized damage (huge damage with really low chance is theoretically worse than not that high damage but with big chance), I will add it soon (btw if you want really accurate calculations then you need to contact TheAntiSnipe because he is our Battle Bay math god)

I need to know your sniper cannon base damage and your crew skills to do the calculations
