percent boss vs percent attack
So I'm 99% sure I'm going to change classes from Xenon to Night Lord in the next few weeks and want to start properly preparing weapons and secondary weapons in terms of cubing.
I've figured out that with my current equips [b]without[/b] claw and secondary potentials + nebulites, I will have approximately 150% boss damage
and 1000-1100 weapon attack.
In terms of my emblem, which can't possess %boss damage, I will be aiming for 18-21% atk
So should I cube my claw and secondary for %boss damage on each? %atk on each? %boss damage on 1 and %atk one the other?
Also, should I cube or buy either a %atk or %boss damage charm? Cubing would be from unique during a probable miracle time, given that charms seem to be
about 15b premade.
Thanks

assuming we don't care about %Ignore and assuming you have 21% atk on Emblem, the best combination mathematically would be (assuming only 30% Boss and 9% atk lines...)
w/ 25% Boss Neb on each and the 150% outside Primary and Secondary weapon:
[b]5 of your lines should be %Boss and 1 is 9% atk[/b]
proof: at 4x30%, that's 120% plus 50% and 150% for 320% or 4.2x. atk is currently at 21% or 1.21x
another 30% boss is 4.5x, or a 7.14% boost while another 9% atk is 7.4% so thus we should go 4:1
for 6th line, 30% Boss is still 7.14% while 9% atk brings 1.3 to 1.39, or a 6.9% boost
w/ 25% Boss on only 1 weapon (maybe a %Ignore on the other):
same result
w/ no Boss nebs:
6 lines of %Boss
If you are a drk with a fafnir set and leafre codex, you won't need a line of pdr. And that almost goes for nls too. Only if you want to do chaos vellum or something it would be better with 1-2 pdr linexP I have 93% pdr multiplicative with no pdr lines on wep. So I would rather get 6%/9% att or stat on the last line than pdr. It would barely be better with one line of pdr instead of the % stat or att. If you are a drk with sup gollux, leafre codex, all link skills and char card + fafnir set.
1 line of PDR is all you'll need and only on 1 item, preferably on your emblem or as a third line on a weapon. Ideally you'll want something like this:
Weapon 1: Boss/boss/ATT or Boss/boss/ignore PDR
Weapon 2: Boss/boss ATT or Boss/boss/ignore PDR
Emblem: ATT/ATT/PDR
You won't need more than one line of ignore PDR though, so once you land one line of it focus on boss/ATT instead.
Boss Damage Nebulites are still pretty expensive, but that route is nice if you can afford them because it'll allow you to do a mix of % Attack and PDR.
You can go either way quite honestly as long as it's efficient and cost effective. Boss Damage on one of Claw/Secondary, and a mix of % Attack and PDR for the other, and Emblem is most reasonable.
I recommend going for at least 2 lines %atk, 1 line boss if possible. you can always neb for %boss which gives 25% max vs. the low 4% max atk neb.
So basically, you could end up getting 50% boss from the nebs, and maybe 40%-60% more from the 1 lines on each equip, leaving 4 lines for %atk which could be anywhere from 24%-42% (all 6%, or 12% x 2 + 9% x 2). Also, assuming you're sticking with RA set, you'll get more boss from that already and gollux and other sources (ex. links).
I would say go for a combination of PDR, BOSS and Attack. As long as the lines are good and in legendary tier keep what ever you get first.
best potential lines are 2 % boss and 1 % atk.
when i had 300+% boss, 15% att was roughly equivalent to 35% boss. and 35% boss is much easier to get on potential lines so, do the math.
also % boss is for bosses only and att is for all.
