Correct me if I'm wrong but I understand BP Damage + to be a percent. In one slot at the moment I have a choice between Blood Pact Damage +7 and Avatar: Magic Attack Bonus +51.

Which one is better?

If its just magical BP or flaming crush, while 1 point of BP dmg contributes more than 1 pet mab, last i remember 1 BP was about 2 pet mab but surely 51 pet mab will help more than BP 7.

But avatar magical BP doesnt vary that much like physical one. You can actually see the real difference with just a few testings.

I assume you're talking about magic BPs, because obviously the BP Damage one would win for physical BPs.

For magical BPs, 1 BP Damage tends to be worth about 2.5 Pet:MAB.

So 51 Pet:MAB is worth about 20 BP Damage.

If you want an exact comparison, you can use a calculator that I made for just that: https://pastebin.com/eWurs5V1

You want MABxBPD to be the highest number possible for your gear set. We usually have a lot more MAB than BPD that results in 1 BPD being worth about 2-3 MAB.

Thanks, I really had no idea what the relationship was like. Obviously MAB only works for magic stuff, but one number was just so much larger thanthe other on endgame 119 gear that it had me wondering just how effective each one is.
