- Duelist v Swordsman findings --Tissues
- Assumptions -
- Clean room (no damage/movement/buffs)
- Heavy Armor target (2597) (coefficients use 2600)
- No traits
- Naked | single steady pistol (258)
- Duelist ------
- 916 power
- coefficient of 0.4 according to wiki
- 96 per shot (red flag here)
- takes 7.5 seconds to complete all 8 shots (#1 source, worst case scenario)
- takes 5.4 seconds idle between attack channel (#1 source, worst case scenario)
- 12.9 seconds to complete a rotation (idle + attack)
- 258 x 916 x 0.4 / 2597 = 40.37 per hit
- tooltip supports the claim of 40 damage per shot, the actual numbers are around 86
- //calculating in-game coefficient (IGC)
- 258 x 916 x IGC / 2597 = 96
- IGC = 249312 / 236328
- IGC = ~1.05
- Rounding to 1
- Now to check scaling on IGC
- 258 x 1066 x 1 / 2597 = 105.90
- 107 per shot
- Much more realistic
- //calculating DPS
- Now taking our 86, by 8 shots = 688
- 688 / 12.9 = 53 DPS
- Swordsman ------
- 916 power
- coefficiant of 2.0 according to wiki
- 645 on average (red flag here)
- takes 4.5 seconds to attack and idle (Self Calculated, #1 source confirms)
- 258 x 916 x 2.0 / 2597 = 182
- tooltip supports the claim of 182 damage per shot, the actual numbers are 645
- //calculating in-game coefficient (IGC)
- 258 x 916 x IGC / 2597 = 645
- IGC = 1675065 / 236328
- IGC = ~7
- Now to check scaling on IGC
- 258 x 1066 x 7 / 2597 = 741.31
- 750 on average
- Much more realistic
- //calculating DPS
- 741 / 4.5 = 165 DPS
- What I learned and stuff untested
- Coefficients are fucked
- Phantasms do not adapt the caster's weapon. This is most notable with steady weapons. Only phantasms have a range of damage regardless of weapon range.
- Until Phantasms are logged in the combat tab, this is all speculation and based on my inner clock
- While swordsman has almost triple the dps, keep in mind Duelist has 8 shots which can result in more damage at 50%+ crit chance then the base 53 DPS shows. This is bare minimum.
- Duelist has a Combo Finisher that is more appealing than Swordsman in my opinion.
