It’s all relative.
Like if you already have for example, 1k ed and only + 1 to skills.
Then 40 ed will definitely not do as much as + 1.
it’s the same the other way around .
They benefit and scale of each other. If one is super low, focus on the other and vice versa but all depends on your overall stats.
Deadly strike scales with both. And all the damage is useless if you get oneshot.
So you have to see where you can get one without sacrificing to much of the other damage stats or your defense or your mf, fcr breakpoint etc.
The skill of building a gear setup is to max out your potential on every slot without having to compensate elsewhere (=loosing overall potential)
thinking about items like shako vs 2os coa etc
