Minor DPS signets, +3 or 4.5%

0
There are two series of DPS signets for minor talismans, they both increase damage but they have different percentage values.

Examples (all purples):
Assassination increases Strike damage by 4.5% (Hammer/Ele).
Flux increases Ele damage by 3%.

Storms increases Burst damage by 4.5% (AR/Fist).
Execution increases AR damage by 3%.

At first look, the signet that increase ability subtype (strike, burst etc) is more powerful, 4.5 is a lot more than 3.

But is it really so? Is there some factor I'm unaware of that makes 3% and 4.5% equally powerful? If the devs wanted both types (the +3% series and the +4.5% series) to be relevant, then I'd expect them to make them equally powerful.


Edit: while I had PvP in mind, this is PvE related as well. Perhaps it was wrong to post it in the PvP section.
