Just trying to make it as easy as possible
You are not making it easy tho, you are making it more confusing than it is. AE can do 90k damage and 40mab can still be WAY better than 8%WSD. It's a very simple math. Just do:
(100+newMAB)/(100+currentMAB) to check how much % increase you get from mab. Example for +40MAB item and 200 current MAB (100+240)/(100+200)=340/300=1.1333=13.33%
then
(1+1*newWSD)/(1+1*currentWSD) to check how much % increase you get from WSD. Example for +8% WSD item and 40% current WSD (1+1*48%)/(1+1*40%)=1.48/1.4=1.0571=5.71%
Then you check what give higher % increase. Really simple.
This one
I like the second one more. Should do better on mobs with high mdb (so dyna wave 3).
also doesnt make sense. MAB will always add same % of damage.
If you have 300MAB (in gear) and target base 100 MDB, then additional 40 mab will
4.0/1 = 4
4.4/1 = 4.4
4.4/4 = 1.1
will increase damage by 10%
Now same 300MAB and same additional 40MAB, but mob has 400MDB total
4.0/4 = 1
4.4/4 = 1.1
1.1/1 = 1.1
Still 10% damage increase
MDB of target doesnt matter.
