Can Accuracy and Parry be removed already?

77*22.030 + 934*1.0 + 1194*1.0 + 654*0.303 + 600*0.378 + 662*0.277 = 4432.6

Removing secondaries:

77*22.030 + 934*1.0 + 1194*1.0 = 3824.3

3824.3 / 4432.6 = 0.862, or 86.2%

Well, my math for drg comes up to a little over 10%. I guess weapon damage overshadowing everything throws the "30%" idea out the window.

One thing I did different is subtract the base lv60 stats and just removed weight of secondaries from gear. If I do that with your numbers it's only 8.5% instead of 14%

That's certainly a better way of looking at it, since you do still have a base amount of the secondaries. In fact, at our current item levels, your base stats still provide more of your secondaries than your equipment does.

Including the base stats, we're looking at:

77*22.030 + 934*1.0 + 1194*1.0 + 218*0.303 + 354*0.378 + 354*0.277 = 4122.2

4122.2 / 4432.6 = 0.930, or 93%

So a 7% drop off if we completely ignore the contribution of secondary stats from equipment.

The general conclusion is pretty clear regardless of the methodology: secondary stats have such a minimal impact that the effect of choosing any one piece of equipment over another is almost negligible.
