Does strength count as an attribute modifying sigil?
Can you use both Strength and Bloodlust together?
Also what about sigils on the water weapon, do they affect your land weapon at all?
With these numbers and examples you should be able to figure out the rest for yourself. I played Neverwinter as well… and it certainly was a lot harder to calculate for that game than Guild Wars 2.
Just note that most players here can’t actually calculate, and often blindly follow the builds others created some time before for reasons different from what their original buildmakers intended – then as they cannot defend, they insult everyone who does not agree. That is the reason I ask if you are serious or not before committing to a proper answer.
Thanks for the info I will followup on it.
As for those people that come up or follow builds just because it feels good, they are usually called baddies.
Just a quick question before I actually delve into the math. What are the 2 optimal sigils to have for an ele in terms of DPS? Would it be bloodlust/250power and accuracy? (ignoring the water weapon trick)
Speaking of the water weapon, would having a passive sigil like accuracy on it affect the main weapon or not?
Generally berserker deals more damage than assassin, unless you use a lot of on-crit traits /runes/sigils. It’s complicated.
Damage: (21x + 0.01)(y-1) + 21/21(x(y-1) + 1) per point precision
Damage: z/9.16 per point power.This is where x is precision, y is critdmg%, and z is power.
Don’t ask about the math unless you’re really serious about it…
Where can I find the full models?
I come from a game where we had to use nonlinear regression on collected data to find equations that convert stat #s into actual %s and then figure out DPS increases (Neverwinter Online).
Is it the same here? How does Precision #s affect crit %s? What about Ferocity and crit damage?
And is Power # just a straight conversion into damage? Does every skill has its own coefficient? That is, will 100 additional power increase DPS by a static % (after considering existing attack dmg) for all skills or will it vary?
They both have the same 3 stats but one focuses on Precision while the other on Power.
Has anyone done the math? I suspect that it doesn’t even matter which you choose since if you have to you can compensate for whichever stat you need with other gear.
Unless of course Power far exceeds Precision in DPS increase?
If there is no difference in DPS or that difference is really small, which is cheaper to make (light):
Saphir or Zojja?
Whats the best ele weapon combo while leveling? D/D ?
As for their single target dps being higher than staff eles? Yeah I’d say so. As for how much more? Hard to say with so many builds out there, I’ll tell you they can do more dmg than a staff ele and less than a d/d ele when considering burst potential.(going to exclude lucky meteor shower + tornado combo). Look into some ranger vids on youtube and play around with them in spvp to get a feel for em, you really should mess around with every class so you can learn to counter them anyway.
Fastest class is probably still thief? Right behind thief is warrior, ele, ranger… depending on weapon choice.
I was referring to the ability to apply DPS while in motion and without cast time. The post I quoted implied rangers were really good at it. And I wanted to know how much better than others they were at it.
Ranger. They have the best single target, range DPS while moving. (Ele have better range dps, but their attack are more static). That pretty specific and useless in PvE. But that make for a great combat profession in PvP.
Thanks for the information but I found that particular piece of particular interest.
How common is it for a character to stop and have cast time? And is the ranger really that much better at it? How much better in % would you say? (rough estimate)
Also how is their mobility? Are you noticeably faster than other classes?
Also I found the combat interface to be really odd and uncomfortable. Is there any way to change it to be less point-and-click and more like Neverwinter Online? I can’t even make the right mouse button toggle, no such option…
I’m new to this game but not new to MMO’s.
I’ve always liked to min-max builds including classes (in this case professions).
In no game has there ever been a proper balance and I doubt this game has it either. One class is always superior at DPS than others.
So my question is:
Is this class superior in AoE DPS? What about single target DPS? What about burst in PvP?
