Sacrificing range for boss damage
Okay, so I guess I should state that I play in Reboot. Right now, I'm at about 980k range buffed. Throughout my time of playing, I've always liked seeing high numbers and the fact that I'm about to touch 1mil excites me. But at the same time, I've ignored my boss%. It's only at 35% (all from hyper stats). I know that there are some link mules that can bring that up by about 10~15%. I wanna know if I should cube my gear for boss% by sacrificing range? Is it worth it? My main weapon as of now is the lvl 140 knuckle, that has no boss% on it (12% att, 9% dmg, 6% all stats) and I do not intend on cubing it since I'm waiting for SW to drop (which I will cube for 2 lines of boss). And my secondary is 12% str, 12% att and 30% pdr. Should I maybe re-cube my 2ndary and try to get 2 lines of boss%? I really wanna know that if I re-cube my gear, and maybe lose 100k range or so, will the increase in %boss boost my overall damage? Will about 130-150% boss be decent? Also, should I get a 4 set superior gollux to get that 30% boss passive set effect and sacrifice the +20 att from my reinforced 3 set effect? I don't think if sacrificing range for boss% will benefit me and that's why I need your opinions.
EDIT: And SW also has a 30% boss damage as a passive so that's nice. Plus, I have sw gloves so I get another +20 att from set effect. So, if you guys are wondering why I'm not considering Faf, this is why.

This is all reboot specific, and not necessarily true in other servers:
It is usually better to use 4 piece gollux on bosses than 3 piece.
% boss isn't nearly as good as it is in other servers. % att is better in most cases (even for bossing). Unless you're going all out and transforming tyrant into SW, CRA set is going to be better than using SW for bossing. SW is better for mobs though.
I wouldn't start worrying about boss damage till you're able to kill them yourself
@highqualityz:
I've been gone since january.
@littletlk: some people are estimated at 4m range man. You're abit late
@littletlk Lol, even though there's no bonus pot and stuff like that, it's still easy to get a high range and deal good damage coz cubes cost only 12 and 22mil, which is not really expensive in Reboot.
Had no idea people in reboot had gotten this strong.
