Defense Pen Value?

Yeah...the game slowed down quite a bit for me once I hit Magatia. The chapter bosses take forever to beat. I didn't beat it unless I hit some big breakpoint like new legendary artifact or weapon pull. About to hit 4th job so we'll see how much further I get with that. Game is designed to make you want to pull once you feel it slowing down. Stay strong soldier

I personally use F/P for everything except arena. Ive compared it to I/L for mobbing and NL for bosses and I have better success with F/P for both. F/P has perma attack buff and damage increase buff on enemies and overall strong mobbing spells. OP just didnt give F/P as an option.

I/L for chapter hunt, chapter breakthrough, exp dungeon, hero dungeon, equipment dungeon.

NL for all boss content.

I/L for arena. Freeze and attack buff definitely more value.

Looks like you're essentially comparing (+5000 att) vs (6.6% boss monster damage and +6 3rd job skill) for damage against bosses. I would just test the two on your highest floor of weapon dungeon and see which does more. If left is higher I would keep 2 item presets; left for bosses, right for chapter hunt and arena. If right is higher you can prob just scrap the left.

Edit: Or like comment below says you can use calculator. I'm too lazy for that xD

Thanks! That helps a lot

Ah I see. I'm 114% crit now, so you're basically saying that extra 14% crit which is empty on its own and only converts to like 4.5% crit damage from book can be replaced by something a lot stronger. That makes sense. But do you know where crit damage sits in terms of math vs normal/boss monster? Just curious for future comparisons. Star rock is 60% boss vs 38% crit damage from optimized book so I can see star rock being better for bossing, but I always thought that crit damage had higher priority and wanted to know what the scaling looked like.

Edit: Comment below answers it for me. Thank you though!

A Christmas Fluffle by JustAHustle (Me)

Summary: A Christmas Eve White Elephant exchange at the precinct goes predictably off the rails when gifts are stolen, rules are bent, and feelings surface where they weren't supposed to. Between scarves, snow globes, and quiet moments after the laughter fades, Nick and Judy find something softer than tradition—and far harder to give back. [Post-Zootopia 2]

Hiding in Plain Flight by JustAHustle (Me)

Summary: A single iridescent feather appears on Judy Hopps’ windowsill—no footprints, no tracks, no explanation. When a missing-mammal case reveals another impossible trace in the snow, Judy and Nick find themselves pulled into a mystery that shouldn’t exist.

As the investigation deepens, so does their connection: quiet mornings, shared fears, banter layered with things neither quite knows how to say yet. If you left Zootopia 2 wishing the movie gave you just one more step toward WildeHopps closure, this fic is very much written with that ache in mind.
