I already start with a reasonably high amount of AGI, but 0 MAB just being completely naked. Seeing as how ultimately their boosts are multiplied, if you have dmg = x * y, and x = 100, y = 1 and you have the option to add 200 to x or 50 to y, you'd be better off adding the 50 to y. Granted, that's not how it actually is with wildfire, it's stupidly oversimplified. I would be interested to see what his calculations were based on. Was he taking atmas into account? Was this a rough calculation assuming 0 AGI and 0 MAB?

The truth is that ultimately you need to seek a balance between the two if you want to do as much damage as possible, and no x*AGI = y*MAB equation will be completely accurate since as one term gets higher, the more you will get out of adding to the other terms. My equation was based off my rough estimate after testing outside of abyssea finding that AGI was adding very little damage (though it did jump up about 5-10 dmg every 5 AGI or so), but 1 MAB added about 10 dmg. The calculator should be a useful tool for you though.
