Guild Wars 2

alright this may have been brought up, but since the search function doesn’t show me anything….this has been a thorn in my side since launch. Is it possible to have a DPS testing setup similar to or better than the testing in the mists?

Sure we have “Practice Dummies” in LA, but we can’t Crit them or apply conditions to them. As such, we’re forced to do most if not all DPS testing on a specific kind of mob.

What I think the easier solution for this would be is to simply enable crits and conditions on the LA Dummies got more accurate testing.

Obviously it can get much more robust like a full on simulation room (probably easily made by asura) allowing us to do customization DPS testing with specific mobs with a set (or infinite) amount of health.

Also I hear that GW1 had a decent DPS testing setup…so again, perhaps this is planned for later content…

My 3 cents :/

gw2 is transparent game
so you can find on gw2 wiki all the math formulas for damage, condition damage…
then you can count the actual damage

sorry to use a tired meme here but….Ain’t nobody got time for dat.

Seriously though, being a transparent game doesn’t have much to do with it. What if I perhaps want to also be sure I can pull of a certain number of skills in a specific way? I can tell you right n ow that most players aren’t going to go and read up formulas and punch in numbers when they just want to see how much damage they can do.

It’s not that I’m lazy……I Just want to be able to actually SEE the damage that I can do in the game that we all paid for. not on a piece of paper or in some online calculator :/
