This isn't full what you're looking for, but here's some more information to put the build in context.
-100 Proc / Bow weapon damage is up by 15% (this takes away most of the damage penalty from weapons like Algie's Bow, for example). Or, if you use a weapon like survivor's rifles, you'll do even more damage than before. You can definitely build around this if you want, or you can just let it be a passive buff.
-Guests are still being adjusted right now (I don't think anyone has a totally clear picture on what will and won't ferocious strike at the moment, probably not damage boosters, but what about status boosters? Or statuses in general?), but they should shake out roughly the same. If you're using damage guests only, they'll shake out on average, exactly the same.
-The new DEX lean adjustment mechanic sets your average accuracy to 66% (but with ~20-30% more damage) in longer fights. This is because in the accuracy formula, a miss is worth twice as much as a hit (very oversimplified), so if you hit twice and miss once, your accuracy won't change. You'll still start at 85% accuracy, but after several turns or hits, your accuracy will go down, and your damage will go up by a lot. That's just how it works now.
-My OPINION on the lean adjustment, from very limited playtesting and conversation, is that using status effect weapons in longer fights is less reliable now, because you have a much higher chance to just miss your opponent over and over and not inflict those statuses. Aside from that though, you'll deal a lot more damage even including your higher miss chance (~20% more damage on average, but that's a rough estimate).
You can also manipulate your accuracy manually. If you want to gain accuracy from the lean adjustment system, you can attack with an inaccurate weapon (like say, Gold Spraying Gatling with a -10 bth lean and 5 hits(thanks Chris07) or even by running a low level weapon on purpose ( the cursed scythe is perfect) and giving yourself a high chance to miss, so your accuracy improves. Definitely a lot of reasons not to do this, but you might find it useful
