I... don't really even want to look at those maths, really. If your premise is wrong, then the rest crumbles. Another two things with the premise, please add base 100% to the calculations, it makes a difference. And also, you're calculating at VERY low Assault numbers, which I reaaaally don't think will apply to anyone who has played for more than a couple of months. Well, that one can be debated, but to be noted is that anyone that new is unlikely to have many weapons that will stay in their Grid - except maybe a Soul weapon if they've somehow managed to leech enough.
I think Keyen's big insight into Tower for Noobs is that you have elemental advantage (+45%) with every Fire team you field. Given that a base set of 10 SRs is only +30% assault, the optimal approach is to raise that as fast as possible so that you can compete. If you're using Belial (+100% elemental damage) for the most difficult content than you really really want to raise assault as cheaply as possible. Any new player should, at the least, have 10 SRs at 10 or so skill level (80% assault) and should do that first rather than worrying about maxing out stuff that stays in the grid long term (like I suggested). You should definitely do this if this isn't your main and you're noob. The best and fastest bang for your limited buck. Is it a viable long term strategy? Hell no!! As you're extending your time to build the super great fire grid. But if you're not a fire main, why would you care?
