I ' ve got 5 Itachi rings just sat in my box but it ' s just so I can awaken him straight away and I was bored at the time lol <| sep |> Partly but I ' m not from the same continent as California and I ' ll use dude as non gender specific too . Age may be a factor too but I think it ' s just one of those things that some people have been exposed to and others haven ' t . <| sep |> Holy cow that took you way less time than I thought it would . Nice work ! <| sep |> Damage proc means very little if all of my damage gets eaten up by defense . Stats are constant . Procs are not . Damage procs basically are constant , though . A 200 % Damage Boost proc means that you will have the damage of one of your skills tripled every 7 seconds . In many cases , that ' s a full skill rotation , and you can change the way you play so that the skill that ' s tripled is your most damaging skill . If that skill deals half of your damage overall , then that means that the proc alone can increase your total DPS by 100 % 0 . 5 3 0 . 5 2 . 0 . Even if that skill only deals 30 % of your overall damage , a 120 % Damage Boost proc will increase your damage by 36 % 0 . 3 2 . 2 0 . 7 1 . 36 . The only stat that comes close to competing with that is Defense Penetration . So sure , if you don ' t have any Defense Penetration on your cards , then you ' ll care about having Defense Penetration on your obelisks . If that ' s the case , you ' re in a bad spot , though , because you ' ll want to have a Defense Penetration obelisk on almost every character . But even in this case , a decent damage proc will do comparable damage in the worst case scenario high defense opponents like Infinity Thanos and better damage in general . The difference is that you have to pay attention to how your skill rotation interacts with it . If you just mash skills as they come off cooldown , then Def Pen will perform much better by comparison . Even if you have T 2 WW on your team or otherwise have a ton of guaranteed Crit Rate , increasing your Crit Damage isn ' t going to be as big of a deal as a 140 % Damage Proc .
