I'm a Lv 162 Battle Mage.
My weapon already has +6% total damage.
I have a 55% crit rate right now.
I have the 15% ignore DEF from the Silent Crusader Codex Set.
I don't boss too often, but it's fun every once in a while.
I believe BaMs have 40% min crit and 50% max, correct?
If so, then your crit multiplier is:
* Now: 1 + (0.55*(0.4+0.5)/2) = 1.2475
* +6% Crit: 1 + (0.61*(0.4+0.5)/2) = 1.2745
% Increase: +2.16% dmg
Since you already have +6% Total damage, adding +3% more total damage only increases your output by +2.8% (1.09 / 1.06 = 1.0283).
If you're spamming Finishing Blow, that has 30% PDR. You haven't mentioned any other % Ignore (Ambition, Codex, Weapon, etc.), so I'm assuming 0% Ignore PDR from "outside sources". Adding +18% Ignore will boost your dmg by:
Vs. 10% PDR:
* Was: 1 - (0.1 * (1 - 0.3)) = x0.93 multiplier
* +18%: 1 - (0.1 * (1 - 0.48)) = x0.948
% Increase: 0.948 / 0.93 = +1.9% dmg
Vs. 25% PDR: x0.825 -> x0.87 = +5.4% dmg
Higher PDRs will result in more +% dmg.
Go with the Ignore 18% PDR.
