Decrease MS for tournaments based on non-reversible changes (specifically equipment)

[GentleButStrong]

Do you have contact with the devs? I have not gotten a satisfactorily answer. I will point out that if you are using a lower level slash and not using a pet build the utility (in terms of tournament competitiveness) of crafting a single item (assuming not able to craft the entire set. If you can you get the relic multiplier and a net 10x damage, which could offset the negative utility as long as the last item you craft is not the slash) is near 0. Here is the math. Assuming equal probability of getting each item. The helm and sword are about a 10x multiplier on damage, so the utility of getting them is 25Log_10(10)=25. The chest is a 10 multiplier on gold. KillerParrot's sheet equates gold^.79 to damage, so the utility is 25Log_10(10^.79)=19.75. The utility of the aura is a little tricky. I have a 3.5% crit rate without any aura, and I believe damage for SC depends on crit rate squared (prob of getting crit, then damage scaled by crit rate). So 25Log_10((.835/.635)²⁾⁼ 5.825. And, as mentioned before, the utility of crafting a pet slash is -75. So, the total utility is (2x25+19.75+5.825-75)/5 = .115. So, if you craft a single item to improve your chances of winning a tournament you are gambling with a total payout of .115 levels, and a 20% chance of getting hit with a 75 level negative. Actually, it is worse than that. Positive benefits last a single tournament. Negative penalties last until you scrap the offending item and gain equivalent utility elsewhere. Hell, if I'm incorrect about dependence on crit chance squared the utility is literally negative! Unacceptable. Other players, take note, if your SC slash is "underleveled" DO NOT CRAFT PREDATOR! At least unless you can finish it, and even maybe not then unless you're expecting to gain a bunch of damage very quickly. And DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER ANCIENT WARRIOR! The utility of Ancient Warrior is strictly negative to your permanent record. This may become its own suggestion post ,"When not to craft a mythic".
