That's quite flawed yes.
The formula goes %w.atk*w.atk*(4*primary*%primary + secondary*%secondary) [*weapon type constant]
Where 'primary' is your main stat base, and any +stats, and MW. (and obviously not counting %stats, since those are %primary)
What you do with this is stick in a variable where you want to compare, on each side.
If you're looking for w.atk vs. primary (normal +stats)
%w.atk*[w.atk + 1]*(4*primary*%primary + secondary*%secondary) = %w.atk*w.atk*(4*[primary + K]*%primary + secondary*%secondary)
Subtracting the original formula, given above, from both sides, results in
%w.atk*(4*primary*%primary + secondary*%secondary) = %w.atk*w.atk*4*K*%primary
If you want to simplify things, assume secondary stats are negligible:
%w.atk*4*primary*%primary = %w.atk*w.atk*4*K*%primary
Get rid of some variables
primary = w.atk*K
K = primary/w.atk
You can obviously solve for K without getting rid of secondary stats, but there's no simple ratio formula anymore. K will still tell you the number of primary stats you need to gain to equal a gain of 1 attack though.
If you're comparing increases in total w.atk vs. total stats, then you'd have [w.atk*%w.atk + 1] vs. [primary*%primary + K], but that's really not a very useful figure in my opinion, cause there's no way to increase either of those directly.
