I know that the rounding issue was brought up with 1 agi increments, but I wouldn't think that would apply here. The differences were fairly significant - about 60 points.
This didn't happen all the time. If you load my DPS gear (Torpesh on Khadgar, logged out in that atm and I'll try to do that for the next day) and select the MoTW (improved) checkboxes then you'll see that selecting the +20agi food takes the top [Insidious Bands] from 3609 to 3598. Other situations saw an even greater drop. |
Ramenchef has the right idea about the 2nd question, and rounding really is the answer to your first question too.
Here's why, lets look at the Agility.
With no food buff, you currently have 609agi. Switch to Insidious Bands, and you've got 627agi, a gain of 18agi.
With the food buff, you have 630agi. Switch to Insidious Bands, and you've got 647agi, a gain of 17agi.
You've got more agi in the 2nd case, so each point of agi is worth slightly more, but you're also getting 1 less agi, so there's a slight decrease in value, due to the rounding.
I've gone through dozens of these sort of "huh... that doesn't look right..." situations, and it almost always comes out to Rawr being too accurate for what I expect.
