20 AP and 100 range go a long way.

Say you have a modest 2.0 AP scaling and just a DFG.

OLD DAMAGE:

60 AP * 2.0 AP SCALING=120 BONUS AP DAMAGE

30+3.5*60/100=32.1% ACTIVE DAMAGE

NEW DAMAGE:

80 AP * 2.0 AP SCALING=160 BONUS AP DAMAGE

25+4.0*80/100=28.2% ACTIVE DAMAGE

So you trade 40 damage for 3.9% of their current hp. Breakeven point is 1000 HP, more and the OLD DFG is stronger.

But that 40 damage is always available and the active is now easier to land. Breakeven point only increase with more AP and AP scaling.
