Hello everyone
I've seen video with people getting high DPS score while having their best skill criting 90% of the time in the video and then post it on youtube. And I feel there's something wrong about it.
Honestly, I think saying each class can bring X dps based on the rng and being like "look at what this class can bring" looks kinda weird to me. Even in team, they will say they reached X or Y, but maybe their allies just used their team buff at the right moment, or the boss had a weak spot on one of his phase and they better used their burst at that moment (which is a good thing of course).
Why can't people just talk about total potency made, with their "Attack" stat and their crit stat beside? So we will be more able to compare classes. Is there any program that is able to just calculate the total potency you inflicted? and without counting crits?
I just mean a crit is not something skilled itself. So I won't think someone is better than another based on the fact he did a crit and not the other. We should get a way to talk about total potency inflicted to compare classes. So we won't be like "oh this one reached 4k dps, and the other one 3.6k (while the 1rst one maybe crit 35% of the time while the second crit 15% of the time, but both have as much crit stat, and maybe one crited on the best move and the other one on the worse).
I do believe it would be more fair to talk about total potency "inflicted". So we can really be like "oh wow you did all that during the fight, you really optimized your character dmg", which would be something :
- removing the crit rng
- the random dmg on a same skill in the same conditions
- the fact we have a different equipement
- the random way some allies use their ally buffs
So we at least know if we are using the character right even before having the best equipment.
(of course, total dps is important, but I believe it would be nice to also know the other things I've stated to talk about balance).
