"the majority of your damage comes from : boosters>mastery>rank of weapon used"

It's the booster that increases the stat, so this should read:

"the majority of your damage comes from : stat>mastery>rank of weapon used"

But, I think it is more like:

"the majority of your damage comes from : boosters>rank of weapon used>mastery"

The higher the stat, say str for 2H, the higher the weapon rank you can use, so the two are hand in hand. I was pumping 2H Mastery up & it did increase dmg output ... not 100% sure what the ratio was vs. rank+stat.

What I never got to test was boosting & buying dex after getting str up over a reasonable amount (like R50-R60 equip) & checking out the swing speed boost you get from the higher dex.
