When you have 20 in your primary stat and a 5 DPS weapon, those rings are worth somewhere on the order of 75 stat points. It takes a long time for the base DPS of your weapons and the stats available on gear to catch up to that. If you use calculus you would want to “balance” your factors.
How to calculate the value of primary stat?
Add 100 to your current value of your primary stat. Divide it by your current weapon damage – remember to account for any bonuses from rings or other gear. That’s roughly how much of your primary stat you’d need to make up for the loss of +1 Weapon Damage.
How many stat points are in a weapon?
When you have 20 in your primary stat and a 5 DPS weapon, those rings are worth somewhere on the order of 75 stat points. It takes a long time for the base DPS of your weapons and the stats available on gear to catch up to that.
Which is more valuable, intelligence or weapon damage?
The higher your weapon’s average damage, the more valuable the bonus from stats is. In your case, you’ve got a ton of Intelligence, which is great, and a really low damage weapon, which is less great. This means that really low damage is getting multiplied by a large value, which is still, unfortunately, in your case, a really low final value.
What do you mean by damage per second?
The term dps is also sometimes used to describe the act of applying damage to a target (as in “all dps on the boss” or “stop all dps”), or to refer to a class whose primary role in a group is dealing damage (as in ” Gundrak group needs one more dps to roll”), i.e. damage dealer. There are UI modifications which enable players to track their DPS.
Which is better sustained damage or sustained DPS?
“Sustained DPS” refers to constant damage dealt over an extended period of time. High sustained damage is the preferable form of damage against targets with relatively high health. Every class is capable, when specced and geared properly, of doing good sustained damage.
What does the damage stat on the character sheet actually mean?
So, the Damage Stat on the character sheet represents an estimate of DPS, but it factors in a number of stats, including some that you don’t see clearly elsewhere on the character sheer. First off, it factors in the bonus to damage from your characters primary Stat. We’ll refer to that as S from here on out.
