I think it’s strange:

A have two light air staves, one with 15/73/21/51 and the other with 16/72/21/49, and guess what the second get’s the higher overall rating (216 to 218)!!

I see that damage is more important than speed in the rating computation but it’s just one damage point versus at total of 3 speed points!

And something else, I someone has ember gloves with a speed above 70 I’d like to buy them for several thousand bucks ;-)

Currently, speed and damage are rated exactly equal. We are considering to change the formula by which rating is calculated to weigh speed higher than damage, because a lot of people deem it more important (and I think, mathematically, it is).

If the first item had the additional damage (16/73/21/51), it’d have a rating of 224
An item with all the low values (15/72/21/49), it’d only be a 211.
That means, that total of 1 damage and 1 + 2 speed is a total rating difference of 13 points.

Likewise, if the second item had a point more damage in secondary instead of primary (15/72/22/49), it’d be a 216, too. In fact, that one point of damage affects rating so much because the corresponding speed is so high.

Edit: Good luck with those ember gloves. I don’t know what the maximum speed is exactly… it’s either 70 or 71.

And something else, I someone has ember gloves with a speed above 70 I’d like to buy them for several thousand bucks ;-)

I can get you some for a few thousand USD ;)
