Question About 2 Lines Of Percent Boss Damage

At the moment i have a 3 line unique weapon with 20% boss dmg being the on the first line, the other two aren't so good. Im aiming to go for 2 lines of boss damage, so my question is... Should i get the cube package with potential lock and lock the 20% for the first 10 cubes while trying to get 30% ? Or... should i use 25 cubes trying to get 30% then lock that and try for 20% ? I guess it depends if 30% is harrder to get, im not sure if there even if 30% is harder to get, or if it is the same chance. With that said, since im going for 2 lines of boss, should i consider going for legendary, only problem being is there are no pot locks with the legendary package, and i might not even get it to legendary... hmmm ?

[quote=EatNow]40 is a decent amount. The faster you get legendary, the better your chances are. If you're left with around 15-20ish cubes after getting legendary, you're pretty safe.
If you want a (near) perfect potential, you may need way more cubes.[/quote]

[quote=EyeOwnNoobs]If i go for legendary il have about 40ish scubes to use. I know its different for everyone but do you think it might do the trick ?[/quote]

[quote=EyeOwnNoobs]EDIT: So you're saying its easier to get % boss on the first line, rather than the other two lines underneath it ?[/quote]

The two lines underneath the first are based on the tier below your item's current potential tier (if item is unique then last two lines are epic, etc). There is a slight chance the other two lines are the same tier or higher. VERY small chance though. Not worth the time/money. This is why I don't like locking. It doesn't go up to legendary.
%boss comes out on unique (first line) or legendary potentials 99.99999% of the time.

Remember those enlightening cubes? They increase the chance of giving you the same or higher tier lines on your 2nd/3rd potential lines.

If you're able to get it to legendary, the boss damage lines pop up fairly often vs unique weapons so 2 lines of boss damage will be a lot easier. Though how many cubes before it turns legendary is the problem.

[quote=EyeOwnNoobs]The package comes with 35 cubes and 10 potential locks, so either way im going to have cubes left over if i lock the 20% for the first 10 and dont get 30%,[/quote]

that's when you hope to get some sort of combination of %pdr (if you don't have 100%) and %dmg (total or boss, they add up regardless) then cube something else for lulz (I did this and got 15% luk on my scar )

[quote=FlawedKnight]definitely lock the 20%, it will take you a lot of cubes and a lot of luck to get 30% boss. If you want to test your luck do the first option, and when you are done, you will realize this(if you didn't get lucky): "wow, why did I spend nx on cubes, nothing really changed".[/quote]
