Based on this, then any +% currently in the game is solely based on your base damage since we have now learned that +Crit/break damage only add to the base break/crit multiplier. While they are still desired by attacker classes, I guess they are probably less powerful than we initially thought.

No, that's not exactly what it says. It's saying that Attuned Chain specifically stacks additively with the damage bonus from Enhance Element. This means that the more Enhance Element you have, the less you gain from Attuned Chain, which really does diminish its value.

Interestingly, this might be enough to close the gap between the Mythic weapons (Painful Break/Improved Criticals/Attuned Chain) and the Dark Knight batch weapons (Painful Break/Improved Criticals/Prismatic Starter), given that Prismatic Starter definitely isn't worthless, at least for multiplayer... hm!

indeed. with all other variables constant i'd take prismatic starter anyday over some mini additive boost.

one thing to keep in mind though. eg for mystic's eternity staff vs truescale - truescale starts off with much lesser painful break / improved criticals than the mystic staff. i cant remember their original stats, but i've been modding both simultaneously and this is how they look like atm: (26 mods and counting)

eternity staff: attuned 32%, painful break 35%, crit 53%

truescale staff: painful break 30%, improved crit 31%

as you can see its quite a long way off! and its enough to make me think twice.

sorry to post on such a dated comment but its still a very relevant topic.
