Okay, then I'll elaborate.
What I want to test is what the best early skill build (up till lvl48) would be for bandits. I want to do so by calculating and comparing their DPM. I will do this calculation for both Luk and Str bandits. I plan on using the formula I've displayed under this and, as can be seen in the formula, I intend not to get actual damage ranges involved. Also, I think of doing the comparison on a by-level basis to save time (I have already thought up 12 possible builds).
Average relative DPM = Skill damage % * [(1+(mastery %/100))/2] * Attacks per minute
And I have considered that damage right off the bat isn't the best, so I thought it would be best to take an average of all the DPM's I get out of it per build and average those numbers. The build with overall highest highest DPM would then be considered "best".
