Help with Secondary

Hi there, I recently recubed my wep hoping for ATT% on my secondary and I landed on this pot after about 7 cubes. My previous potential was was two lines of 35% and 30% boss and 6% all stats. My question is.. Was the trade worth it? Bear in mind that I haven't made a Demon slayer and Luminous yet, and I plan on making them on for the link skill in the future! ;_;

85% boss damage + 6% all stat > 12% att + any amount of pdr + 20% boss.
The reason is that pdr is multiplicative. What you see as 2 lines of 30% may not even be providing a substantial amount of pdr.

Weapons and secondaries are imo not for %pdr since it doesn't have a good resale value, people prefer to cube for %attack/%boss since it raises the value.
Emblems are the best to cube for %PDR since they have no value at all.

Seeing your clean range, I would have kept the %boss one because there aren't many bosses that would require you to have heaps of pdr at that stage. I guess you could see this as an upgrade for the future when you're able to go chaos root abyss? haha

Hi Rocky! ^^
In my experience boss% has always had the larger value so IMO I actually think you should've kept that pot. Pdr is decent but there are better lines like boss and att. Also the 75% boss would have sold for a frick ton more than this.

Edit: actually now that I think about it 70+ boss% (or 21% att) is usually the endgame potential that people look for in a secondary so that was actually a bad trade off.. And link skills are good for additional stats but not as good for replacement if that makes sense
