Total Damage vs. Attack - Kalovale - 2011-01-25

TagerBustah Wrote:so the best possible to have would be since they all stack with each other is

1st best because they all stack

30% boss
8% stat
8% stat

2nd best because they all stack

30% boss
8% stat
8% attack

this following are not good if total damage and boss damage dont stack

3rd best

30% boss
8% total damage
8% stat

4th best

30% boss
8% total damage
8% attack


Is this correct? Otherwise please rank them in the proper order.

Attack % and/or Total damage % is always better than PrimaryStat % on a weapon (and you can only have those two on a weapon anyway)*. So only opt for primaryStat % if you have nothing better to get.

*Math alert:
- 103% stat + 3% stat = 106% damage (2.91% damage increment, from 103 to 106)
- 103% stat * 103% attack = 106.09% damage (3% damage increment, from 103 to 106.09)

The more % stat you have, the less significant each % stat is; whist you can only get at most 3 lines of Attack %, Total damage % or the other stuff (read: not so much of them), its relative value remains unchanged.

Prove me wrong.

Ok so i was wrong for listening to Locked because he was wrong when he said that boss and total damage dont stack and that %stat was better than total damage.

So now is this the best possible you can get because its proven that they all stack with eachother?

30% boss
8% total damage
8% attack

Prove me wrong.

The only statement there that can even verify it would be Steve's comment.

@above:
30% Boss
15% Ignore def
8% total damage.


Total Damage vs. Attack - vx-2 - 2011-01-28

I have a 3 liner:
Attacks 6%
Int 3%
Attacks 3%

Does attacks = 9%? Or just 3%?

I read that Total Dmg % will take the lower value... same case for attacks%?


Total Damage vs. Attack - Kaasoljoyyx - 2011-01-28

No, attack will be 9%. Only damage won't stack

No offence to you or him, and I'm not doubting your math, but I am slightly skeptical at the numbers presented. I'd need a damage SS for confirmation.

Edit: W/ range included in the same SS if possible.

Ill try to cube myself a weapon as such tonight if I can finish my data collection with PDR and the like.

That SS was long ago and his range is much higher. That was also pre-bb.

You dont' have to believe me if you dont' want to.
