To scroll a staff... 20's or 30's ? - RADRaze2KX - 2011-07-09
Q: Which would be better if you want to scroll an end-game staff?
9 x 20%'s (+7Matk each, 63Matk total)
or
9 x 30%'s (+5 Matk, +3 INT, 45Matk, 27 int)
Assumptions:
INT% is 150%
You can afford cash shop protection scrolls/wards and whites/pam's
I'm going to guess that the 9x20's would be the way to go...

Err. Why post a question with such an obvious answer? If money aint an issue it is simple math.

I think he means to ask whether the 27 INT (+150%) outweighs the 18 m.att difference.

Correct, SaptaZapta, thank you for clarifying that for me. 27 int * 2.5 (the original 27 + the extra) = 60.75, or 60INT as it is in Maple... is 60 int better than 18Matk?

Let's do the math, then.
To make the numbers easy, I'm going to assume you have a total of 1100 non-% int (i.e., base + numerical bonuses on gear), and 360 m.att (including all gear, blessing, any buffs or potions you normally train with, but not %m.att on weapon).
If that is the case, 27 int are about 2.5% of your int, while 18 m.att are 5% of your m.att.
Since damage is, roughly, INT * M.ATT * constant, it's clear the 18 m.att will boost your damage about twice as much as the 27 int.
Note that your %INT doesn't enter into the calculations at all. 27/1100 = (27*2.5)/(1100*2.5)

178 + 63 = 241 + 40 = 281 (Assuming that staff starts out average). That'd be one sexy staff, do want to see someone accomplish that.
18 M.att will outweigh 27 Int, though.

alright, thanks to you both. I'll start accumulating white scrolls..
