More boss and less attack or more attack and less boss?

Hey got a quick question. So I'm debating weather I should get a 60%Boss/ 24%attack/ 21%PDR[Neb] secondary (Leged/Leged)
or a 80%Boss/ 6%attack/ 18%PDR[Neb] (Leged/Epic) secondary. Which one should I choose?

%ATT is still better than %Boss in both Training AND Bossing scenarios.

Please, for the love of god just pick the 24% ATT and don't listen to the scrubs saying 20% Boss is better than 18% more ATT because it is NOT. Especially as a DrK you already have LOOOAAADDSSS of %Att so %Boss will not benefit you for freakin squat. luckily DrK don't have any base %ATT so that will boost you very nicely.

@rim6543:

You mentioned that the extra 18% att only boosted your range by a seemingly smaller amount than anticipated. One of the reasons why this may be the case is because you might be using other heavy sources of % att in which, adding more won't be as beneficial.

I think the second choice would be better given you cubed the bonus pot. The first one is cubed for % att on its bonus pot. The second one however is only epic bonus pot wise and if cubed more you could legendary it for 21%+ att.

If you buy the second one then cube the bonus pot to 21% att it'll be <80% boss 21% att> vs <60% boss 24% att>. 20% boss is typically better than 3% att.

[quote=betaboi101]% att has diminishing return similar to % boss. If you already have a ton of % att, boosting % att more will be less effective damage wise than boosting % ignore or % boss. If anything, you want a balance of % att, % boss, % ignore, and total damage% for the best output.[/quote]

I kind of got lost on this. What I'm interpreting from this is that the first one with 60%/24% is better since it's balanced out? Orrr.....?

[quote=rim6543]I do more bossing than I do casual mobbing. And both of these already had a pdr neb. I couldn't find a one with boss neb.
So if I'm more of a bosser, the extra 20%boss would benefit me more than the extra 18%attack?
Because the first one with the extra 18% increases my range by 37k compared to the 700 from the 20% which kind of
threw me off on which is better.[/quote]

%Boss is highly overrated. %Boss stacks additively with all other %Total damage skills and other potentials so it really doesn't help nearly as much as you like to believe.
%ATT on the other hand does not. That completely increases your range by the amount given. %ATT will almost always win, definitely go for that.

I say go for the 80% boss one then recube the bonus pot. The second secondary can possibly end up as 80% boss, 21% att, +25% boss (neb) > 60% boss 24% att.

Depends if you boss or not...first of these two is definitely better though
Also don't get a secondary with pdr you want a 25% boss neb

24%attack, easily. 18% attack is more to your range than 20% boss
