Kudos to the people who have made this tool, with enough work I'm sure it could becomes GW's 'danger room' tool.

Btw, might I suggest casting time to be added to the simulation for their next update, as that would also be useful.

You're welcome. We are working on casting time (I love the Mesmer) as well as other damage calculations. I think it's worth having just for the skill "google" search.

Here is a screenshot.

Great program, but I'm finding alot of problems with it.

Final Thrust doesn't do double damage below 50% health.
Sever Artery doesn't cause DoT.
Illusionary Weaponry only does the base weapon damage.


In addition to this I would suggest being able to select wand as a weapon.

I look forward to future updates. This program will be extremely useful once the kinks get ironed out.

Since when did the weapon damage effect IW, I thought it completly ignored the weapon damage, and did its own damage.

Thats the problem. With Illusion set at lvl 12 IW should do about 34 dmg, instead I get the 10 dmg that the sword does without any buffs.

Heh, I made the same mistake first time I read it.

Just as a general rule, and especially on the Internet, if it sounds like someone just said something wrong, first reread and make sure there isn't an alternate interpretation that makes more sense. (It's called "The Principle of Charitable Interpretation"; it's basically the opposite of making a straw-man.)

Ok, maybe I'm more simple minded than you lot.

I'll be using this to tinker and get my GW fix between BEs.

Thanks for the effort!

The display in this program is all messed up; the fonts are too big and everything runs together.

We were able to re-create the screen problem and come up with a fix. I'd appreciate it if you could try it out. Here's what you would need to do:

- If you haven't already, run the full Edge installer

- Unzip the following into your program files\the_edge folder to overwrite the old The_Edge.exe: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/g.reno...he_EdgeDPI.zip

- Run the program. The screen will still be distored, but that's ok

- Select the View -> Options menu

- Check the box next to "Auto Correct for DPI?" and click OK

- Exit the program

- Run the program again. It should adjust the screen for your DPI settings.

It isn't perfect, but it should be pretty close. However, this will only work for a DPI of 120, but it seems like that's the most common alternate DPI setting.

Thanks for the other suggestions. We are working on all of them...

Poison Arrow doesn't cause Damage over Time... my one observation. I wish the enemies auto-attacked me with their skills and stuff, lol.
