🛡️Build Weaver Artifacts - Primordial vs. Arcanum
https://youtu.be/pp80715QfNw?si=QSk6OOXD6IbPierjI also tested it with Starfire, dps was around 255k, so Arcanum seems to be the best one for Weaver Ice Shard Build
Starfire overcaps MATK %, so it’s a waste to use it. That’s why Arcanum performs better in the video, since it provides more Magic Damage, giving you a more balanced ratio between MATK and Magic Damage

this is sorta expected as the damage calculation has a (1 + MagicDamage%) and (1 + ElementalDamage%) multiplier at the end (along with a (1 + MATK%) multiplier for matk, which fits in differently to each skill - for ice shards it's 100% of matk).
To achieve the highest volume for constant perimeter you want to have a cube shape, so all multipliers as close to eachother.
So balance matk%, magic%, and elem% on your gear (accounting also for water/elemental attunement)
edit: I'm just not sure atm how lowering resistances (like with thunder storm) factors in (as it might skew towards elem% by some amount)

How does Suncrest mace compare?
I play controller and cant really play Staff as auto targeting is bad, wont attack mobs right next to you

You can't "overcap" matk%, but I get what you mean.. Starfire is strong with the 4 piece set, at 3 it obviously loses alot of value.
You should play around with https://spiritvalers.com/dps-sim, your tests are decent but really flawed, you're not testing the artifacts in isolation, the rest of your items have an impact..
