(1) Your raw attack stats. Chances are your raw attack is 10 or less. So 30% of that can't beat +4.

(2) Your final attack (raw + equipment). Depending on your wife you can have 10-20+ attack. So that may beat the +4 by a wide range.

(3) Your creature's raw attack. If your creature has an attack of 13 or less, use that +4 weapon.

(4) Your final attack + your creature's attack. This is the final attack value on your creatures. If you use a lot of low-level creatures this value may be 13 or less - in this case use the +4 weapon. Otherwise the +30% attack is almost certainly better.

The easiest way, though, is to test both of them out on the same undead enemy and read the numbers.

Oh, I had that problem as well. But basically, it is the current total attack of your creature (creature base attack+your attack+attack from other gear) that gets a +30%. In some Level 1-2 creatures, this is still less then the +4, but I'd recommend using it. I calculated a lot before facing that Necromancer Kid in the Marshan Swamps. (and anyway, most 1-2 creatures are not worth using, especially as there are a lot of spells/abilities that cannot be used again 3 or higher level units).
