Combat Dummy Damage Numbers

So, with the release of housing combat dummies, I just took all 5 classes and bullied the heck out of the combat dummy to prove to myself that warrior is in fact epic gaming and validate my passion for warrior.

I used the Morph Set with Infused Hive Weapons (unpowdered) so as to not give an outside advantage to classes based on my class building skills, and to make sure each class is judged only on its base damage and spells.

Let's get into the numbers.

Archer: 42,401 DPS
Assassin: 40,792 DPS
Warrior: 39,416 DPS
Mage: 19,613 DPS
Shaman: 15,031 DPS

I am not a perfect human being; I cannot perfectly cast spells in a way to maximize the damage output. Also, Morph and Infused Hive may not be representative of all builds for each class.

What does this show? Well, a single number may not show every aspect of a class. IE, Shaman has high AOE and crowd control, damaging lots of targets. Mage meteor aiming is ass (i hate mage).

But, of course, warrior is epic. It's definitely not as bad as many say it is.

idk was this post even necessary why did i write this

 

You wrote this because warrior is indeed pretty good

 

Warrior is best :)

Btw were you using war scream or bash buff?

 

Yoooooo might actually do warrior play through







but archer supremacy pog

 

What is your cps..,.,..., My actual tstack limbo build does 30k average on the training dummy... or are you using the max dps value and not the average?


If not I will go cry in a corner

 

I did like three trials with each; war scream got like 36k ? ish i forget

 

Important note: were you taking the righthand or lefthand number? The lefthand side appears to be a true average dps, where the right one is a maximum burst capacity measurement (in essence). I'm... skeptical ig? that these numbers are not the lefthand side ones and are not a good measure of dps.

 

No, I used the left hand side.

 

just gon say there's no way warrior gets 40k dps sustained

here are the raw bashboost numbers:

notice: if I add uppercut bash numbers and melee dps the total is far below 40k

and the morph mana sustain (7/5 + 1/3) is not even enough to upperbash once per second.

Burst dps may be higher but ignoring burst it is comparable to mage, and gets less of a boost from powders.


but holy shit shaman is fked

________________________________

tbh none of your numbers make any sense

this is archer

maybe has to do with the measuring method (damage dummy dps is fked)


this isn't even close to 20k dps


this is 30k optimistically (5.2k? from smoke ticks), and thats definitely extended burst dps

________________________________

totem adds 700 so this is what, 15k? if you hit with haul so I guess your shaman numbers are validated; if you weren't hitting with haul then... idfk

________________________________

note (2): Add 15% to all those numbers if you assume every single hit crits (which since you were probably testing and looking for the highest numbers is a decent assumption) and your numbers still make no sense so.

I think dummy dps is just borked / at least your method of measuring is fked

 

How long did you sustain casting for each? If you were going off of left side number, are these numbers average of the many it shows, or the highest it showed? Also, any tomes or housing rules?

 

TL;DR: Housing Damage Dummies are fked in several directions.

1st. the LEFT number represent (Total Damage Dealt) / (Duration Elapsed) and only reset if the number hits 0
so it can do smth ridiculous such as: shoot a 60k arrow storm, wait 1 second, shoot an arrow bomb and your LEFT number magically decreases by a chunk.
or it gon get fked by delay and registers first 1.5 second or so but its not 1s, making...

2nd. the RIGHT number represent Highest LEFT number achieved. in which, by working this way, the RIGHT number also gets fked in several direction as it couldn't represent proper numbers.
this number is definitely wrong because dependancy on the LEFT.

For a better demonstration for yourself, get a sfast melee build and whack the dummy.

 

uh wdym?

1.) Warrior has way higher dps than mage (like 2 times as much with my cps)
2.) Spears have higher base damage than wands so warrior gets a higher boost from powders

 

morph doesn't have the mana to sustain your cps

so all these measured numbers must be either a) garbage or b) burst dps measurement
edit: or c) both! :)

lower base damage gets higher boost from powders because powders have a raw component,, same reason mage gets a relatively larger boost from raw spell vs %spell

 

There's no way that morph + hive spear is hitting 40k dps, considering my weathered gets around 50k dps. These numbers are probably 1.5x-2x more than what they actually should be.

 

probably.

uh, this (not 39k, but :/ also i suck at cycling)


nothing makes sense

 

I mean your mana bar is draining as you cast spells... you are making a burst dps measurement for morph set

so theres your answer,

though it does look like you can burst for decently long at 20k dps which is nice

Also look at the video, for the first 2s the dps number displayed does not decrease and continuously accumulates, basically the number its calculating for you is hot garbage

edit: it is hot garbage for the first few secs, to get an accurate dps measurement you need to go at it for ~10s+ probably. or at least one "right side reset cycle" which unfortunately makes it quite difficult to measure true burst dps

 

Oh I thought you meant powder specials (these give % boosts)

but weapons were balanced with powders in mind, warrior with powders still has way higher base damage than mage with powders (to give examples: Peaceful Rest [FFF] gets 634.25 base dmg and Ignition [FFF] gets 765.7 or Nepta Floodbringer [WW] gets ~576.2 base dmg while Braker [WWW] gets 1080)
