Which potential for my zero is better?

So I was just wondering whether I made the right decision or not. My weapons old potential was at 30%boss dmg and 30%pdr, but I was hoping to get something better and repotted until I came upon 10%str, 7%total dmg, and 7%att. Which potential is better and did I make the right decision? Ty in advance for any real answers.

@GoXDS: I agree that the first is better if you're bossing. That much is more than obvious. But, I prefer the second pot to help with training, which is what I'd personally be doing more than bossing. ^^;

1st one is better by [b][i]far[/i][/b] if you're Bossing @xLabyrinth
let's assume Resolution Time is 30% Total Dmg. let's assume Lvl 170 Lazuli and Lapiz. assume max Armor Split and count

Alpha: that's 90% Total (Boss+Total stack additively) and 75% Ignore (or 70.5% depending on how Armor Split stacks)
Beta: that's 140% Total and 50% Ignore (or 41%)

[b]Alpha[/b]
Potential 1: add 60% Boss on top and 2 additional sources of %Ignore
%Boss increase results in 1.9x->2.5x or a 31.57% increase in dmg
%Ignore goes up to 87.75% (or 85.53%). against a boss with 70 PDR, that's a 10.8% increase (or 13.26%)

that's an overall increase of [b]45.78% (or 49%) increase in dmg[/b]

against a 120 PDR Boss, that'll go up to [b]60.33% (or 68.3%) increase in dmg[/b]

Potential 2: adding 20% STR, 14% Total dmg, 14% Atk
assume we have 0% Str elsewhere (have more and the increase from this pot decreases) thus %Str is 20% increase
%total increases from 1.9x->2.04x or a 7.37% increase
%atk is 14% increase

that is overall [b]46.88% increase in dmg[/b]
say you had 100% STR elsewhere.
that means you only got a [b]34.64% overall increase in dmg[/b]

[b]Beta[/b]
Potential 1: add 60% Boss on top and 2 additional sources of %Ignore
%Boss increase results in 2.4x->3x or a 25% increase in dmg
%Ignore goes up to 75.5% (or 71.07%). against a boss with 70 PDR, that's a 27.46% increase (or 35.93%)

that's an overall increase of [b]59.33% (or 69.91%) increase in dmg[/b]

against a 120 PDR Boss, that'll go up to [b]120.63% (or 180%) increase in dmg[/b] (YEA %IGNORE MATTERS)

Potential 2: adding 20% STR, 14% Total dmg, 14% Atk
assume we have 0% Str elsewhere (have more and the increase from this pot decreases) thus %Str is 20% increase
%total increases from 2.4->2.54x or a 6.096% increase
%atk is 14% increase

that is overall [b]45.14% increase in dmg[/b]
say you had 100% STR elsewhere.
that means you only got a [b]33.04% overall increase in dmg[/b]

You get enough boss % as is. I'd prefer the second pot.
