Nuri Dex Gear Comparo vs. Custom Recurve

[Moogerfooger]

Hey all....here is my stab at comparing the lvl 60 Glyph Obedience Autobow and Dagger/Shield sets against the lvl 55 Custom Recurve Set.

Assumptions/Facts:

1. Lvl 61 Pure Dex build
2. No ring or vanity, except for the +1 damage from my face (booyah!)
3. Since Balefort Sewers mobs have ~120 armor, I used ~130 armor in the calculations
4. This assumes you have auto attack going 100% of the time; not really realistic, but for calculation purposes to show the diffs in the sets, it is what it is
5. This assumes you have lvl 6 Focus and hit it the instant it cools down. If so, you are under the Focus buff for 60% of the time for your Auto attacks
6. Skill damages were figured with lvl 6 Blast Shot, Repulse Shot, Blinding Shot, and lvl 2 Avian Scream
7. Due to individual cooldowns, GCD and just the little bit of time wasted targeting enemies or potting, I assumed 6 uses of each skill per minute except for Avian Scream which was 5 (cooldowns were 6-8 seconds per skill, each is 0.5 higher or lower than another skill). Again, maybe not super-realistic, but again it is mostly to compare the sets evenly
8. I have a lot of equations hidden in the screenshot below, if anyone wants to see the file, PM me and I'll post it on a file hosting site.
9. The numbers you generally see for 'totals' are for a 5 minute period.

This does not take buffs/debuffs into account, or combos. Finding those numbers out accurately would be a loooong test involving a lot of people.

Hope this helps you choose your set, depending on your budget!

P.S. Pls point out any disagreements/concerns/corrections with the above assumptions or any numbers you see are in error, I tried to make it as fair comparison-wise and accurate as possible.



Because it's kind of hard to read....
Glyph Dagger/Wing of Obedience Set: 110,955 total possible dmg in 5 mins. "Highest damage and armor overall. Lowest Range and base dmg. Lowest skill damage - barely. Best dodge, h/s, m/s"
Glyph Autobow of Obedience Set: 107,198 total possible dmg in 5 mins. "Good overall total damage, better armor than Cust. Longest Range, highest avg base damage. Highest Skill damage. Lowest dodge and h/s barely, decent m/s"
Custom Recurve Set: 96,968 total possible dmg in 5 mins. "Lowest overall total damage, lowest armor. Good Range, good avg base damage. Skill damage same as Dagger/Wing Set. Avg dodge, good h/s, lowest m/s"

Despite having the lowest or middle stats compared to the Obedience sets, the Custom Recurve Set holds up ok, considering that is a lvl 55 set and the other two are lvl 60.
