With the new equips we've kinda got an array of things and basing it all on how many points of dex it's equivalent to is stupid.
You need to compare the numbers directly, say you had 140% dex and 260 w.atk,
140+27% dex * 260 atk -> 434
140+12% dex * 260+15 atk -> 418
In this case the 71+ cape (with 27% dex, vs. the PAC's possible 12%) is the better option.
New damage formula, for comparison purposes, has
(dex + dex bonus) * (1 + %dex) * (atk * [1+%atk] + pot + bullet/stars) * (1 + %dmg)
To do an even comparison between equips you need to take the entire subcomponent the bonus is added to -> that is the sum of the round brackets it's inside.
