Fire Strike first or Curtain first? x.x

12% (proportionally) isn't going to make or break a build. 1 extra Strike won't slow you down THAT much in training. Anyways, that's amazingly godly, when you think about it. 9-12k? I wasn't hitting that much on my Marauder using blast, and I didn't have that much range, or 100% active energy (obviously). I'm guessing 30-35%/hr if we lose the E-X-Plosion event. We can also use Elders as an alternative in late 8x. Awesome money and we should easily avoid being hit (slow may not even be needed there). Plus that's good experience as well. This build looks good enough for me.

I know it's amazing, but I'm wondering if it's enough to beat Curtain.
