My brother ran through ~1500 Special Circulators to circulate over his Attack Speed Increase just to get it back to an Attack Speed Increase (and lose 2 INT, but gain negligible MP
). He SSed nearly all of the circulations for the IA Statistics thread and sent them my way. I was flabbergasted to go through them and see he'd gotten 17% Boss Damage but circulated over it. He sent me to back to this thread and pointed out [MENTION=5956]hadriel[/MENTION]; indicating a general 10% increase from ASI and told me about diminishing returns from 17% BD.
To be clear, 17% BD is only less than a 10% increase when you have more than 170% BD, right? 187%/170% = 1.1X And anytime before that it will follow the same math? %BD Final/%BD Initial = Damage Multiplier
He doesn't have 170% BD, nowhere near it and I don't suspect that he will anytime soon, so I loled at him. He reasons that ASI "future-proofs" his character, given that burst damage is quickly becoming the norm with the example that he can hit Vellum 4-times with ASI v. 3-times without. Also, he suspects more and more "free" BD down the road, Fafnir weapons and Additional Options just being the initial salvo.
