Now there is finally somewhat acurate way to compare raw DPS of builds and teambuilds.

And, some comparsions are suprising (well, they are not for ME, but still: http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/517/gw230eh7.jpg )

I wonder if it becomes standart to post "dps stats" when posting new builds...

I love my packhunter, they seem to be so much fun to use as well as a useful addition to parties now.

As for the update, I think its a nice addition. Will be worthwhile knowing how a small change to your skills drastically changes your damage output.

Perhaps it could promote people finding and making their own builds.

while you are running towards master of healing, the master of damage is on your left side right beside two armour dummies

PvE is the Metagame

The damage dealt to the two dummies on either side of him is not calculated into the total DPS. He should be renamed to master of single target damage.

Wait, you're saying SF doesn't simply pwn everything?

Wow, that's a revelation...

As for sins, yep, they do insane damage. But they are also trivially shutdown and against single target.

It should be also interesting to test the difference between minor and superior runes, to see if that 75 health really makes that much difference.

Lol, what are you being so secretive about?

Still u cant kill much with that, since it took u a lot of time to get the damage that high. With Grenth Balance you would be able to do like 999 damage I guess.

My Rt did: 2896 in 41 seconds, average 70 DPS.
Single Second damage: 220, at 4 seconds
Death occured after 7 seconds

Does someone want to whack him for a couple minutes with a vampiric weapon, and then a sundering weapon, and settle the age-old dispute over which is better?

I'm glad they added 2 masters. I never would have even thought about a master that calculates your damage. Seriously, amazing idea that was.

There's still atleast 3 spots I can think of on that island that aren't being occupied. A sin, derv, and paragon master would be nice. Don't stop now anet I love that island!! The more you add the better.

And if I can add this, remove that master of winds that comes by the target dummies. Annoying only if your a dervish trying to test a build to see if you have enough energy and that enchant is constantly re-applied.

Thanks, good work guys!!

Why are you blocking your name in the part window yet it's still visible three times in chat? Also, from your shadow it looks like you're holding a staff.

As he doesn't move, i presume savannah heat builds would do some seriously insane damage.

True, but for sustained 3 minute damage I suspect other builds would catch up due to recycle / energy concerns.
Guess we'll see.

So this is the best I could do (for now). Note that I have heroes, but they are flagged at the starting gate (forgot to get rid of them) - so this is solo. Also, I'm using Intensity, but my sunspear rank is only 7 with my ele, so I might could squeeze some more damage out.



Check out that one second - 441 damage! Woot!

I'd say, for proper comparission, everyone would have do to their damage (solo or 4-man) over the full 180 seconds to properly compare them. Warriors will (probably) have a comparitively slow start while the adrenaline builds up, making them look bad over a shorter time period, and spellcasters can burn through their energy in seconds but might not be able to keep up the DPS.

My solo sin, for example, managed a meagre 13,324 over 180 seconds (74 DPS) - but 4 sins like her might have been able to do 4 times that, kicking the SH/SF ele teams into a cocked hat! (although that *was* with the wonderful Critical Agility speed buff, so not something Heroes could copy).

Still, back to my point - I think all postings should cover the full 180 seconds (unless you specifically want to just show what you've achieved in a single second).

Caster Heroes are not that good. Even when the enemy is not attacking or moving, they are. They run to him, cast Inferno and then move back again.

Agreed, example above you looks cool and whatnot but when you see how much his damage dropped after 10 second mark when aoes ended and recharge times kicked in. ...

And you wonder why after such tests? Its 50 DPS per character if you do math... Or if you wait a while for overall 180s results.

I noticed that he will also count degen as DPS. That means that builds that rely on degen can be compared to raw damage builds in terms of "damage."
