[Reboot] How much PDR is too much PDR?

Hey guys, I was just wondering if I should cube over my claws potential. I managed to get 65% PDR 9% attack on my pensalir claw in the reboot server and was satisfied with that. But as I was cubing my secondary, I managed to get 70% PDR 30% boss. Now I'm not too sure if I should cube over one of the potentials. If I were to cube over one of them, which one should I cube over? When they're both equipped it says I have 87% PDR in my stats window. I feel like % attack isn't as important in reboot server because all of our equips are lacking in attack due to not being able to get scrolled so if I do recube, should I just aim for % boss mostly? Especially since we don't have the nice set effects or 30% built in boss damage on our weapons, I feel like % boss is hard to come by.

@sheritin: I suppose it would be long term. I'm not familiar with NW skills since I just got back to playing after a 3 year hiatus. I would assume damage % and attack % working in conjunction yields the best range. It's hard to call because claw multipliers are amazing. If atk % gives better range, go for that. I would still keep bossing % because it is harder to get until you guys can't get fafnir gear.

PDR continues to be worthwhile up till around 95%, normally 95% is attainable without sacrificing too many lines of potential on your 3 weapons. The "cap" on PDR if that's how you want to refer to it is 100%, but it's impossible to actually reach 100% unless you use a ToZ ring to do so.

You probably don't need it in Reboot until you start trying to do some more end game bosses like Magnus, Empress, CRA, etc.

@sheritin: PDR does not cap at 90%. I know many people who have above 90%, including myself.

@someyounguy: Yeah I was planning on cubing the claw if I were to cube anything. I read somewhere that PDR caps at 90% or something so I thought maybe being at 87% would be good. 15% attack actually raised my damage more than 15% damage did, that's what I had when my claw was unique. Also, how do you know who I am!? Who are you haha.

Edit: Also, I'm a night walker.

Ok steve, PDR has diminishing returns as it is multiplicative and not additive. NL's, I am assuming that's what you are, are lacking natural PDR, which would allow to do most of your damage. Bossing damage is hard to come by, especially 30% boss as the game low rolls you most of the time when cubing. I would keep until you could amass enough cubes to get % damage as that would most likely increase your range the most. If I were you, I'd cube the claw over before your secondary.
