Best Assassin Build For Damage?

It does make sense. Spell damage is calculated by dps. If it wasn't...

 

How would spell damage calculate by DPS make sense?

 

I assume you know the weapon Alkatraz. Its melee damage is insane. If spell damage was calculated with zero regard for attack speed this weapon would be one of the most powerful in the game. However the super slow attack speed keeps it "balanced" (it's still op af). Spell damage is based on dps to keep weapon with a faster attack speed viable. If the GM's put in all the time create these tiers of attack speed they would try and make it balanced right?

 

Thank u for telling him exactly my point. Thank u alot

 

Think about a world when attack speed didn't go into spell damage... What would it be like?

Alkatraz

 

Everyone would only play warrior just to use alkatraz and nobody would even try to buy Az or freedom or pure or the assassin weapons or stratiformis



That is a future i don't want to see... Quietly shudders inside

 

@Ripjaw95 would be able to solo anything in 1 second.

 

What did ripjaw do again?

 

Spell damage is based upon dps.

Damage per second.

Not damage per hit.

if i have a weapon that does 20 damage and hits 5 times a second
and a weapon that does 50 damage and hits once per second

then the first weapon will deal more dps.

As spells scale off dps (up to x3 damage based on attack speeds) the ability to hit faster does in fact make you deal more spell damage.

 

But with logic, spell damage wouldn't be based around DPS...

 

this is quoted from Salted's spell damage bug patch note

because faster damage do less damage per hit so in theory if theres no attack speed multiplier then slower weapon with high melee will do significantly more damage, adding DPS in the spell calculation balances that

oh yeah i hv to reply you to send u the alert...

 

Well that's simply how it works...

Anyway what kind of arguement is that?

"I think it makes more sense the other way, so I'm not going to believe the way it actually is"

Anywhale, with logic, you are also dead wrong

"But with logic, fire damage should also do fire ticks"

"But with logic, even distribution of stat points should be a weak build"

"But with logic, ahmsord shouldnt exist"

"But with logic, freezing hights shouldnt exist"

I can make a bunch of random statements with "logic" that have no bearing on the actual game too

 

Grimtrap

 

Nope, I've see. Grim trap. Doesn't come close to Freedom.

 

Soloed bob in 4 seconds.

Note the title.
