I know there's a whole discussion about pure attack/melee vs inflated melee, but I mean if you equipped 4 upgrade rings, that's a 20% melee attack boost. That sound huge!
On a guard with 50k melee, that yields another 10k on top, whereas feathers +18 would add about 2k pure attack. With pure/inflated attack in mind, wouldn't a five-fold increase in comparison be enough to overcome the advantages of pure melee? Has anyone tested this?
TL;DR which one makes me hit harder?
