4th job Single Target DPS

Max advanced combo should be 190% damage increase.



Hi. I was wondering how defense could affect the DPM for each class. I did some calculations myself with different hero swords. I got the result that different attack speed result in DPM that decreases with different speeds as defense increases. In other words a katana (2 speed with booster) for example could be better at 0 defense when comparing with a claymore (4 speed with booster). With the same stats, skills (max brandish and AC) a claymore could eventually, as the defense gets higher, become better in terms of DPM.

Katana range with apple 5681-10296. Claymore range with an apple 6568-12009. Im really interested seeing the actual DPM plots with varying monster weapon defense to prove/disprove this...

I understand that this actually does not reflect reality.

Doesn't Dusk's spreadsheet have an option for defense? (I didn't check the screenshot but I think it does.)

So with the skill rebalances underway, this thread obviously needs updating.

That's not what i'm posting for, though. As of right now, BoT is 250% damage to 6 mobs. SB is a little bit more than this, but also slightly slower. Question is, with the new B-step delay, would BoT -> B-step -> BoT out damage SB -> B-step -> SB?

250% is significantly lower than 480%. I doubt the speed difference will change much.
