Hello, I want to buy a glaive and I found exactly 2 identical glaives, but one glavie with phy attack 61% and att. rating 22%(198), the other glavie with phy attack 42% and att. rating 62%(254) ... others stats and blues are exactly same, which glaive should I choose?

Post your int / str, the weapon's respective damage and reinforcement ranges, and then it will be much easier to tell you. What seemed like enough data to you is insufficient for anyone willing to give an answer with 100% certainty.

Atack rating is more important than phy and mag.

Purely opinion.

I'd much rather go for the one with higher phy and use 10% stones on the attack rating.

i'd pick the 1st one if not planning on doing much pimping since the phy dmg diff is not that great compared to the AR diff.

could get either planning to pimp. 62% AR is quite high, and i wouldnt plan on touching that. so depends on the % on phy dmg to make the final pick.

from my experience is also much easier to get higher phy. then it is to increase the atk.rating
