Magic attack vs. Magic Amplification

[guering]

I know M Amp gives you flat max attack damage, but I didn't seen any topic talking about what would more worthwhile having. Let's say you have an equipment with +10 M Amp and another with +10 INT, which one would be the best ?

Or to be even more precise, 10 INT would be equivalent to how many MAmp ? It doesn't have to be exact values, any relevant info will help.

10 INT (or 10Matk) = 20 M.Amp

for my assumption int is better some skills [summons] are base on int
or does it also amp dmg for summons aswells ?

You get a random value up to your M.Amp stat every hit, so on average it's worth roughly half of M.Atk.

As in, 10 INT = 10 M.Atk = 10 magic damage
10 M.Amp = 0-10 M.Atk = 0-10 magic damage
or 0+1+2+...+10 = 55 /11 = 5 on average

If it's 10 INT vs 20 M.Amp, I would still take the INT since it's more reliable, but neither is the wrong choice. It all depends if it reduces how many casts you need to kill the same mobs or not.

That makes perfect sense now. Thank you.
