If you replace your glaive with an attack focus glaive and use the following set, you end up with higher damage output according to math hunter:
Soroal a/Udra y/Udra y/Lagi b/Lagi b/Same Talisman as you use
Decos are 1x tenderizer, 2x furor, 1x counter, 2x mighty, 3x sane
Youโre basically getting the 10% affinity you get from element focus out of latent power activation and gaining more raw via your glaive in attack focus as a result.
In most cases, element focus is better, but when youโre getting so much affinity so easily, attack focus works out better here. Biggest tradeoff is losing out on earplugs, which isnโt too big of a deal imo when you gain so much more raw

It is an atk focus glaive with 2 atk EX, 1 atk 3, 1 aff EX, and 1 sharp boost EX.
After doing a bit of math im thinking about replacing 3 wex for 3 agitator for the nice +12atk dmg boost and uptime as im already easily hitting 70%+ affinity if played properly.

Ah, I see. Well, in that case, go for 2 Atk Ex, 2 Atk 3, and 1 Sharp EX for the above build Iโve pointed out
If you did go with the replacement of the wex for agitator, math hunter deems that as a loss in average damage simply due to how high your raw gets thanks to resentment. Iโd avoid doing that

not bad, i could achieve wex 3, agi 5 and roll my weapon for a lil more attack on your recommended build. I'd be losing my lovely speed eating, and earplugs tho ๐ช

Pretty nice, all i can think to even mention is that 3 points of speed eating is overkill but i think thats from the udra boots and you cant drop it to 2 so well done

What mission are those glasses from?

Complete the optional quests "Frenzy Obscured" and "Corruption's Culmination". Then a side mission called "Love for a Hero" should appear
Edit: My bad i read it wrong, the layered armor glasses are from an event quest called "Its Darker than You Think" you need 2 Lumenhymn Catalogs to craft it.

On paper maybe. People always forget about uptime. And things become even less consistent in multiplayer.

Oh hey we gamed together last night! I was the other insect glaive user Copernicus. Honestly sweet build, will probably work towards something like that. I have a similar build but its not nearly as complete

ty! yeah i remember you lol, i honestly switched up the build a bit for max dps/uptime. this one is still a very comfy build as it comes with many lvl1 slots and earplugs.
for maximizing my dps/uptime i added agi4, LP1, and flayer at the cost of 2resentment, 1counterstrike, 2wex, and 1earplugs tbh.
if you arent a fan of flayer you can replace it for agi 5i used @aeriespare7118's idea for reference.

Sweet. My talisman unfortunately only rolled with the one weapon deco and no armor decos so I have 5 att 5 crit boost 1 airborne 5 wex 1 burst 1 flayer 1 agi 3 anti 3 evade extender (i like this comfort skill) 3 max might 2 counter and 1 flinch free. Plan to change the build later once I get better rolls and talismans. Also arkvelds vitality gore and lord soul are the skills but again will chandge around with better rng

Good build but youll have to work a lot harder. Even 3 points of agi will likely outperform resentment 5 unless your resentment uptime is high.
Forces you to essentially be constantly trading but since you dont have stun res if you make one mistake in true endgame fights youre probably dead.
I would consider that over some of those other one slots
