I'm 26 with deep sea gear however I can't break 170 dps.. On the other hand I see level 25 warriors that are already 170+ and some 26's that are 190+. I have 5 points in stength and 5 in damage increase with the other 15 in skyward smash, windmill, horn of renew and vengeful blood. What can I do to make my dps better (gear, talents, spec, etc)?

Gear, build's, and skills affect DPS. Pure strength will provide your warrior with the highest amount of damage. However, don't forget: Damage > DPS.
Warrior doesnt need DPS.Damage is better
I disagree the best dps weapon also produce better damage specially for warriors.

So actually damage is the one that effecting DPS not DPS effecting damage
Pets affect dmg and dps too. Hazel, ribbit, snaggletooth, malison, wyatt give most str, dmg, dps.
Captain axe of potency 25/26 gives alot too.
To get 190+ you need mythic helm aswell :'(
Yeah i know that but the best weapons with high dps/damage are vorpal and darkwatch then captain axe of potency for lvl26. Auto attack is important for warriors specially in pvp if u know what i mean...Quote:

Thanks for the tips guys
yeah I have top of the line gear as well, Sealord armor of will lvl 26, Sealord helm of grace lvl 26 (+31 str version) and Captain's axe of potency, unbuffed i'm at 186.9 DPS, buffed at 205.2. not sure if you're asking buffed or unbuffed but yeah, with the Mythic warrior helm you can get 190+ unbuffed.
I have lvl 25 deep sea gear, and a ribbit. My dps is 172 ish I believe. Maybe it depends on which accessories you use. Not sure what I have on but I know theyre lvl 25 legendary rings. Oh and the weapon to! I have a lvl 25 captains axe of...potency. I don't know, best of luck to you! Cheers.
yeap, that should help :-)Quote:

You must have the sealord of will/grace stuff (much better armor #s), I can't afford that stuff until prices drop unfortunately.

DPS = Damage * attacks per second (a/s) of your weapon. 1/(a/s) = attack speed. so your DPS on your avatar page is purely swinging your weapon. You should be looking to max out your Damage (from avatar) because your Skill damage a multiple of your Damage.
Damage * Multiplier = Average Skill Damage
For example my warrior is not 22 and has 116.1 Damage, and 130.6 DPS
Skyward Smash = 189-236 (including the 10% damage upgrade Thundering Hammer)
Chest Splitter = 172-215
Windmill = 149-186 (not including Blender)
Axe Throw = 139-174
Vengeful Blood = 147-183 mana per tick
Horn of Renew = 232-290 health per tick
Skyward smash has a 1.66 base or 1.83 (upgraded) modifier
Chest Splitter has a 1.66 modifier
Windmill has a 1.44 modifier or 1.57 (upgraded)
Axe Throw has a 1.35 mod
Vengeful Blood has a 1.42
Horn of Renew has a 2.25
Then the range of Mix-Max is +/-11% of the average damage. So my Skyward average damage is 212.5 damage. 89%*212.5 = 189 and 111*212.5=236.
So you can test this calculation against your Damage, but when you trying to see which equipment does the most 'total DPS' you have to take into account the Damage effecting your skill damage. Your DPS on the avatar page doesn't play a huge role because that is just a (a/s) speed * average weapon Damage (Damage stat). a lot of your dps comes from your abilities (especially when doing AOE).
You can read a similar discussion to this point in the sorcerer forum
Cosmos, I've seen your awesome game mechanic posts, thanks for that analysis and your others.
Do you have any idea how crits work/scale?
Thanks. Unfortunately i haven't done much testing at all on my Warrior/Rogue for this
For Sorcerers, critical hits do about 130% damage for weapons, and 130-150% damage for skills. Though skills are a lot harder to test because of low crit%, pets killing my target, or pet damage numbers floating over my skill numbers. I would assume these CritDam% would be about the same for other classes (not counting skills that say add x% crit damage or do x% crit damage).
That seems reasonable. The whole warrior glitch thing is different, not sure if you've played with it but it only works when you get multi back to back crits on windmill. Each crit is higher than the last, you'll see 200, 600, 2000 on successive swings. I can't verify but it seems like they can be on different targets so when you are bombing (that is what I call it now :)) a group you can get it easier than 1on1. My PvP experience is now kamakaze missions where I have HoR bubble, VB, and ribbit up and run into a group of 4 and tap windmill. Windmill finishes and I insta die but usually get a kill or two in the process.Quote:

After doing the below math, i had to look at my Sorcerer calculator and i accidentally had the Crit% in the damage calculation when you only want to include it in the below when you are talking averages. So crits were doing less than they should have. The difference between 1% crit and 1% damage isn't as big as i had originally calculated, but there is still some difference. Below, may look like crit is better, but that over time, with misses, dodges, and truly random #'s Dam% is a more consistant increase and crit causes a more spikes in the calculation. I'm going to post some more results to that Sorcerer Damage vs. DPS post soon.
If they do follow these rules, then let's calculate what your true weapon DPS is (on your avatar page)
Let's use 130% crit rating, Ctrlkey's 27.17% crit and 177.3 Damage and 199.4 DPS, attacks per second (aps) = 199.4/177.3 = 1.125
Damage * (1 + (crit% * critdam)) * aps = true weapon dps
177.3 * (1 + (.2717 * 1.3)) * 1.125 = 269.9
with 27.17% crit, let's guess that he has 5% crit from passive skill. Let's switch those points over to 5% damage
177.3 * (1 + .2217 *1.3)) * 1.05 * 1.125 = 269.8
Let's look at his Skyward smash assuming he upgraded it 10%
with 5% crit scenario
177.3 * 1.83 = avg Skyward smash damage of 324.5 with a range of 289-360 (estimating)
Avg damage per Skyward including crit/critdam = SS * (1+(crit*critdam)) = 324.5*(1+(.2717*1.4)) = 447.93
with 5% Damage passive
177.3 *1.05 = 185.9 = 340.2 avg SS damage probably rounded to 340.5.
340.5 * (1+(.2217*1.4)) = 445.5
Now you can see when calculating average damage you have Damage * (1+(crit%*critdam%)). I accidentally had this still in my formula when calculating crit damage (my excel tool continued to evolve over time and still does). Where when calculating damage of crits should have just been doing Damage * 140%.

I think it has to be a bug, 78% is just the chance you have to crit not the amount your crit can be above base damage. Cosmos might have a different theory though.
Lol I don't remember posting that even so I must have been :victorious:Quote:

If damage is so important why cant we put damage where it normally shows DPS because i straight away look at DPS.
It's to play with people. Only a fool would focus on DPS. Warriors are slow, so having a fast attacking weapon really makes no difference. We rely on our skills for damage and in order to have a high damage skill, you need high DAMAGE stats. Really, DPS only matters to rogues since they are fast.Quote:
