Now I will endeavor to show how our two methodologies should actually arrive at the same result. You want to take the increase in damage from offense set over no set: o (x)/f (x). You want to do likewise with crit damage, so cd (x)/f (x). You then want to compare these values to one another, so (cd (x)/f (x))/(o (x)/f (x)). You can see that the two denominators in both the numerator and denominator of the resulting compound fraction actually cancel, by multiplying it by f (x)/f (x) (or 1). You wind up with cd (x)/o (x).
Incorrect representation of this from the start here. Offense set ratio would be represented by BO + SO / BO CD is represented by CD + SB / CD.
I'm not using any of the same figures in either or these ratios. To represent them with the same variable as you have done is confusing, misleading, and most of all, inaccurate.
In other words, the mere fact that you have used the same variables to represent the parts of my formula for the offense set, and the parts of my formula for the crit damage set means that there is no way you could possibly have found an error in my math with your reasoning.... because you aren't using my math.
