Unless I am misunderstading what you are saying. |
The cost to add a stat to a piece of gear goes up based on how much of that stat the item already has. I believe it's an exponential relationship, but I'm not feeling mathy enough to play with it that much. Point is going from 50->60 STR "costs" more of an item's "budget" than going from 0->10. Your calculation is incorrect because it assumes a baseline of 0 for STR.
Edit: I mathed it out after all. If you took away all the Mp5 from the Shaman gear S3 you could get 14 more strength.
Here's the formula -
[(157)^1.5+(17*2.5)^1.5]^2/3 = [(x-157)^1.5]^2/3
Solving for x yields 14.
