Green & Green/Yellow

Green sword has the best damage*speed. For armor, assume the average hit does 100 damage. Then p% dodge is as good as -p damage, and green wins there, too.

But! If everyone else reasons that the green sword is best, too, then the average hit would do 50 damage, and the best armor would be yellow.
