The Ultimate 4th Job DPM Thread

That one. .65*390 + .35*150 = 306%.

Ok, i'll add it!

Now that I understand your thread a little better, let me point out something. You completely ignore minimum damage. That's a big flaw. Most classes have 60% mastery, meaning .6*.9 = 54% of their main stat multiplier in minimum damage. NLs have 50% a main stat multiplier in minimum damage. Archers have 81% from Bow Expertise/Marksman Boost. DrKs have 72%. This changes your comparisons around by a lot. And I've ignored secondary stat damage bonuses. Better to run the real formulas.

Currently I'm only doing MAX damage, AVG damage / minute will come later, after I have all classes right on MAX damage / minute.

Edit: Hmm. And what of secondary stats? Thieves would be weaker in this aspect because they need a lot of dex to equip their weapons, and archers would be slightly weaker too. Or do we assume that everyone has no equipment scrolled for their main stat and their secondary stat is buffed just enough to equip their weapon?

Finally, a 20 att shield seems kind of high. Since most classes have 7 slot shields, I think it'd be more appropriate to use 14.

Secondary stats hardly add to damage, and if you mean one class needs more secondary stats to wear item, that's true, i'll look into it how to add it to the stats. However, the higher lvl you get to, the less it matters...

And about the shields... I'm also using CIlbies for Night Lords too... I could also start working with 20+ att Maple Shields...

The Night Lord is using a clean claw (54 atk) where the other classes get scrolled ones.
It should have 130 w.atk.

Maxed Advance Combo is 190%, not 150%, so bump up the Hero quite a bit too.

Ok fixing it both! Tnx!

[...]

Night Lord - Triple Throw + SP + Critical +SE:
- 65% > 1755%
- 35% > 1125%
-- 100% = 1377%

Oh also, I would suggest doing DPS instead of DPM. DPS is a more practical, more usable number that is more easily compared to other classes. DPM is too large to be practical or to make sense if you want to see how fast you kill a monster. It only really helps when comparing damage on bosses that have tons of HP and don't attack.

It wouldn't work for Shadowers, since their Combo takes more then 1 second... Also, DPM is most usefull for bosses...

Whoops, I misread. It would still be incorrect though.

set str 700 and dex 100

[(700 * 5.0 + 100) / 100] * 100 = 3600 (given damage)

[(700 * 4.6 + 100) / 100] * 100 = 3320 (exact damage)

3600 * 4.6/5 = 3312 (calculated damage by your way)

But well, yeah, it's only an approximation I'd assume, so it doesn't matter that much

8/3320 = 0.24% error margin... nothing to worry about...
