Are you sure that maths is correct? Because you will be getting a higher rate of rare drops from increased mf, and the higher numbers for sets or failed sets should be approximately offset by the number of failed uniques.
Yes I'm sure.
The number of increasing failed uniques (tri-durability rares) is much less important than the number of increasing sets (failed or not : useless for that concern).
For 2 reasons :
- very few unique drops turn into failed uniques, because almost all items have a unique version (contrary to set items), hence you would need to drop twice the same unique in the same game to produce a failed one.
- odds of unique drop, in the first place, increase much less than the odds of set drop, as your total % mf increases. This is due to an alteration of that total %, with different asymptotic limits for uniques or for sets.
And no, the odds of rare drops don't always increase with your total % mf. Unique or set drops may replace rare drop with a higher probability. Remember the order of quality setting : first unique, then set, then rare, then ...
