Comparison of Paragon weapon enhanced with and without catalysts

[RhymeBubbles]

Catalysts are enhancement aids that increase master stroke chance, a successful master stroke bestows maximum stat gain.

See screenshot below: Top was enhanced to +9 without any catalysts; Bottom was enhanced using appropriate catalysts to ensure 100% master stroke (for me it was 10% x 1, 20% x 2, 30% x 1 and 40% x 1).

Turns out the stats diference is very small.

Without Masterstroke, the values are variable per upgrade level. so it's possible to end up with rolls that are weaker or slightly stronger. Another test could end up being a night and day difference in comparison

Edit: Master Stroke on all 9 enhancements for weapons can yield +63 for the 4 parameters and additional SP, and +6300 Max HP
