Can someone help me with sorc maths

Sorceress
1

i have a pretty fun brain buster for any math people.
and i know im gonna get some trolls for this.
but help me figure out which toon is faster for my aim.

so, lately ive been enjoying mfing eldrich and shenk for their yellow rares.
they give a lot of these.
i have 2 accounts a barb horker
and a nova sorc.

ive only just started experimenting with the nova sorc, but so that u know the numbers, i will have you know that my barb was getting me a good 33* items [ this is the number i want you to use] worth keeping per hour.

my horker wears mostly faster run / walk gear, simply teleports to eldrich, howls,and lets my my high dmg merc kills eldrich and
then i hork (75 % to loot) his body and NG. that was 17 seconds a game. i prefer not to attack with my barb . im not looking for stredegy tips , just the math to see which one is getting more items faster.

now, my sorc on the other hand, Also wears faster run walk gear, but rocks an infinity merc. she teleports to eldrich, kills, loots,
teles to shenk. loots. NG . 20 seconds. so thats a 3 second difference from my barb. slower, but thats 2 bodys at 100%
vs my barb gaining the 1 body + a 75 % chance to loot it again.

im not the best at math but from what ive attempted, the sorc is getting literally 1 item per hour more than barb. can anyone confirm this given the info i gave you? thanks

Barb:
3600 seconds per hour. At 17 seconds per run, you have a theoretical maximum of 211 runs per hour, which gives a maximum average of 369 total drops.

Sorc:
3600 seconds per hour. At 20 seconds per run, you have a theoretical maximum of 180 runs per hour, which gives a maximum of 360 total drops.

We will assume that the characters have equal magic find, and that drops from Eldrich and Shenk are equal. If the Barb gets 33 good drops from a maximum of 369 drops, then we would expect the Sorc to get 32 good drops from a maximum of 360.

There is rounding involved in the above numbers so it’s going to be basically equal. The randomness in the game would easily outweigh the difference unless you’re running many thousands of hours at this pace.
