    I still think dmg > dps for the vast majority of the game both from the math and from experience, but it's fine if you disagree. I mean no disrespect and give you and your guides full props.

    Just for discussion sake, did i get something wrong in the math? Does the dps 140 (100-125 speed 0.8) not do less than half as much damage over 30 second than the dps 100 (140-165 speed 1.5) against armor of 100?
    The math is perfectly fine, and I do agree with you in the event that large armor (-100 or so) can deter DPS at a critical enemy armor value. Very nice point to come across. But what about the party's ability to debuff enemies - like stacking armor debuffs using skills and combos? Especially during a boss fight, wouldn't continual armor debuffs essentially strip away armor (not 100%, but to a large value), rendering overall DPS better? I think the only way to find out is to find out what the range of armor debuff in a bird-mage-bear party is...

    Also, the hard hitters add more damage to the skill I think? Conformation needed.
    By hard hitters, you mean higher damage? I'm unsure about this, look at this table I created for another one of my thread:



    This is comparing weapons on my bird (weapons only, no other equip) and the changes in Blast Shot's damage range. It's so bizarre how speed and damage is correlated to a skill's damage, I can't figure it out yet.
