Bad Primal Jekangbord vs 363% Good Ancient

Question for the math nerds out there…

What’s better? A Bad primal Jekangbord (400% blessed shield) with one usable stat (it originally rolled with resource cost reduction, wrath regen and 15% smite or something silly. OR a good ancient with 15% blessed shield, 8.5 critical to hit %7 cooldown with a 363% bonus to blessed shield damage.

Thank you…

I think you should post the exact stats of both items in order to give you the true math about how much damage you lose.

Primal Ancient
1000 str
critical hit chance 10%
reduce all resource costs 8%
Increase wrath regen 2.00
400% blessed shield damage increase

Ancient
978 str +550 str aug
critical hit chance increased 8.5%
reduce cooldown 7%
Increase blessed shield 15%
363% blessed shield damage increase

Considering the same augment on both items by my calcs was a difference on about 11% damage increase.

Primal one wins , but the difference it’s really small, you need 17% more damage to earn 1 GR level, but you need to use the same level of augment in order to win the 11%.

Thank you very much.

Food for thought… option 3: lol

Normal, non-ancient shield (1/2 lod bonus)
727 str
690 vit
critical hit chance increased 9.0%
11% block increase (28 overall)
400% blessed shield damage increase

which affix was rerolled in that option 3 ?

crit chance, so in theory it could go up to 10 %

The non ancient one it’s about 6% less damage than the ancient one.

thank you so much; just a few more days left in the season :–)

I’d use the Ancient one.

Using it pushed me up to a 123 grift (2000 paragon). I think I can do 124-125 with a nice map. That 400% damage bonus outweighs a lot of the other very useful stats the other shield has.
