I'm very happy with this. Someday I made horde them to get %bd + something good for 100% stance, but this seems great for a long time.
That's about as good as you can go (1% off the max. of 20%). Utility aside, unless you're walking with 90% boss damage or more, there probably isn't anything else that would come close to giving you more than 10% increase in DPS.

GAH! You actually got S rank Boss Damage! I blew through 300 circs on Sunday and got nothing good.

Was hoping for attack speed but I'll take this tyvm, mainly because I hate Azwan so much.

If you got a good enough amount of buff duration, that can actually be really useful for prolonging the damage reflect bypass aspect of your metamorphosis. I'd suggest keeping that if you got like 40% or more.

You're not the only one, it's especially not that good on a Demon Slayer. We don't have that many buffs. It basically only helps Booster and Black-Hearted Strength, the last of which I usually have on an auto buff gem.
Recently I've found that I don't even need Infinite Force anymore, Leech Aura and Dark Meta have to be recasted before their durations are up anyway to heal again while it's on cooldown, and bypass damage reflect, respectively. I never use Vengeance. If we look at Link Skills, of the active ones, DS doesn't even need Mikhail, and at the very best, the AB Link Skill, at level 1, would increase your damage by less than 1% if it lasted 15 seconds instead of 10 because of all the % damage Demon Slayer already has. And then, MW, of course, but that already lasts like 15 minutes.
But of course, your mileage may vary, or whatever that expression is, but, another but, you can't always just assume that it'll be a good IA for everyone.

I think the main allure is getting more time (almost a minute with a mech card and 46% IA) to bypass reflect. Since I assume meta's reflect bypassing is 20% of meta's duration, and not 20 sec as it says.

It's 20% of Meta's duration, yeah. I recorded 40 second times with both a 10% buff mech card and without, in fact, it was higher without, so I think it does require further testing, however, I would lean toward it not working just like all hyper skills.
There isn't a DR that lasts more than 40 seconds, though, except maybe CPB's since it has two different DRs, so I don't really see much of a point in having longer DR ignore, unless you were doing CPB or maybe Empress with a group and aggro keeps changing.

This time I won't be greedy and recirculate. It'll bug me forever when I open up my stat window and see that instead of "(S) Attack Increase" but hey, it's better than conversions and stuff right?

Well I don't think that Attack Speed is that useful for us, hence why I circulated over it, but your situation is a bit different than mine was. Assuming that is on your BM, having a S rank mechanic and mercedes card and +15% buff duration gives you 100% stance all the time, which is pretty nice to have.
Now that UI has been upgraded, I am not sure if attack speed is worth having.
Maybe [MENTION=8732]VerrKol[/MENTION]; can help us out here.
