Assuming that the damage is done is Attack-Defense-Regen, the player would do 48.95 dps and kill that boss within 0.204 seconds whereas the boss would be completely unable to do any damage. However, because the 1 defense of the player is smaller than 1.4*bossattack, i.e. 1.4, the fight would not get initiated.
As far as I can tell, there is no benefit to being at full health, therefore it makes more sense to fight bosses as aggressively as possible to get to the next boss as early as possible.
The fight would be initiated because 1.5/20 - 2 + 1.5 > 1/20 - 1.5 + 1 or -0.425 > -0.45. What would such a fight look like, assuming the unrealistic scenario that player attack/defense are constant instead of increasing because of basic training?

The player is making steady progress at whittling down the boss's health, eventually the fight will be won and the player advances to the next boss.
Previous logic
To me that seems very arbitrary and does not make any sense. Furthermore, the resulting behavior is very passive.
Consider the following example:
Player:
50 Attack (500 HP)
1 Defense (0.05 HP/s regen)
Boss:
1 Attack (10 HP)
1 Defense (0.05 HP/s regen)
Assuming that the damage is done is Attack-Defense-Regen, the player would do 48.95 dps and kill that boss within 0.204 seconds whereas the boss would be completely unable to do any damage. However, because the 1 defense of the player is smaller than 1.4*bossattack, i.e. 1.4, the fight would not get initiated.
As far as I can tell, there is no benefit to being at full health, therefore it makes more sense to fight bosses as aggressively as possible to get to the next boss as early as possible.
New logic
or, interpreted differently
Assuming we're looking at the previous example, the equation would be
1/20 - 1 + 1 > 1/20 - 50 + 1or0.05 > -48.95and the fight would be initiated.Let's look at a different example:
Player:
1.5 Attack (15 HP)
1.5 Defense (0.075 HP/s regen)
Boss:
2 Attack (20 HP)
1 Defense (0.05 HP/s regen)
1.5/20 - 2 + 1.5 > 1/20 - 1.5 + 1or-0.425 > -0.45. What would such a fight look like, assuming the unrealistic scenario that player attack/defense are constant instead of increasing because of basic training?The player is making steady progress at whittling down the boss's health, eventually the fight will be won and the player advances to the next boss.
