Maybe tweaking the numbers could make up the difference, I'm not sure.

Going without the mjolnir and setting ArP to about 1000 brought it ahead, and you probably aren't going to reach that with any reasonable set of gear.

So it's difficult to find any situation whatsoever in which gemming for ArP is worthwhile. There may be one, but I wouldn't go looking for it. Just gem for Agi or AP unless the spreadsheet tells you otherwise, but I doubt it will.

what are the hypothetical numbers? could you elaborate ?
I plugged my current 'rupture-free test gear' into spreadsheet with fixed 3.2.2 ArP values and at current 545 ArP rating i get from gear + MR, ArP AEP is higher than agi.
most certainly I will swtich back to 4t8 once 3.2.2 hits thou, as my gear level is too low for making rupture-free cycles any upgrade.
