My bad. The calculations do indeed account for Union Aura's +30s duration, I had forgotten about that when I made the note in the OP.

ShinkuDragon Wrote:it is, which is why i thought he didn't calculate for them, just that a bunch of people in basil have been mentioning how these charts don't account for it. i remembered now that JT once said that these are so that you multiply your range by them and you'd know your theoretical DPS.

What do those Basilers think the % is of, if not range?
ShinkuDragon Wrote:oh, they do know it's range, they just argue that it doesn't account for stuff that JT does not calculate, like mastery. which in a way is true since some masteries can't be compared (i.e. a mage mastery vs a cannon shooter one) and thus say these are only relevant when everyone has the same range. (which is true) then again, that's when they're being used for comparison. don't think anyone over there uses them for "this is how much damage i'll deal"
I'm considering this, to convert this %/s to include Weapon Multipliers, so all you need to do is multiply by WATK * (4 * Mainstat + secondstat), since your displayed "range" is often not accurate for this, and it would standardize things.
Alternatively, they could do that themselves. Since Total Damage and pomegranate are accounted for in range, you can't just take the number from your stat window to multiply with %/s. What you should do is calculate your clean max range, WATK * Multiplier * (4 * Mainstat + secondstat) / 100. Since %/s includes %WATK in it currently, and I'm trying to decide what to do about that.
Also, since I don't know what they did to the defense ignore formula, I can't account for those changes in my tables, so they will remain as the old formula for now.
And as Takebacker stated, they should stop being uninformed plebs, and consider actually reading. All anyone has to do is use their max clean range multiplied by the %/s, and it will be the average damage done. They don't have to consider mastery because I already did.
