Weapon DPS

[ashton007]

Okay I'm not sure if this is in the right place. The forums are a bit confusing on a mobile phone. I've looked every where and I can't find a lot of info on weapon DPS, does anyone know if it effects ability damage? Or does it solely make your AA hit higher? Any info is great, cheers!

edit; I was wrong

edit; nevermind, I'm wrong, weapon DPS has some sort of coefficient when it comes to calculating ability damage hit

Stuff from the link:

So, let’s put that all together into a formula that captures these different facts. We’ll use the term Admg to refer to any extra damage you get from the special attack, per its tooltip, and we’ll use the term Sdmg to refer to the total damage of your special attacks after all the calculations are done.

Sdmg = (((StrBon/10)*2 + Wdps)*1.5 + Admg)*(1-armor)
(single wield only)


(note that Wspeed doesn’t factor in here - the special ability damage calculation is completely weapon-speed-free. You’ll be seeing this fact referred to again later in this post.)

As usual, let’s do an example so you can see it working. Assume the following:

White Lion Str: 323
Spider Tou: 264
White Lion Wdps: 51
White Lion Admg: 62
Spider Armor Mitigation: 15%

Sdmg = ((StrBon/10)*2*1.5 + Wdps*150% + Admg)*(1-Armor)
Sdmg = (((323-264)/10)*3 + 51*150% + 62) * (1 - 15%)
Sdmg = (5.9*3 + 76.5 + 62) * 0.85
Sdmg = 156.2 * 0.85
Sdmg = Your special attack hits Vicious Spider for 133 damage. (23 mitigated)

Update as indicated above, big thanks to Erdrick for figuring out special damage while single *or* dual wielding. That dude has more patience than me, that’s for sure Here it is:

Sdmg = ((StrBon/10)*2*1.5 + MHdps*150% + OFdps*52.5%+ Admg)*(1-Armor)

(Update on 9/18/08 - OFdps coefficient may be 67.5% now. I’ll have to check when I have a reasonably high level dual-wielder. Right now I only have a WP)

problem is the math is from 2008, so it is within possibility that Mythic/RoR has changed something over the years or adjusted important of various factors one way or other.

Its great but like you said, a bit out of date. Can any of the devs help here? I just want to know the effects of weapon DPS on abilities.
