Assumption for spharai:
usual TP gear, capped accuracy
melee attack (base with food and gear) 730
WS attack 730
10% crit rate,3% triple attack rate,21% double attack rate, 150 str on TP and WS
DEX on WS : 200 I know I'm targetting high end setups (consider that 2x march will give you 10 dex also with marches)
TP skill:=426 WS skill=412
mob's def:=500*0.90 (dia) 1 level difference
no boosting
693/1024 haste (maxed)
Kick rate rate:=0.25*1.1
regain:=1/tick
tripleproc on relic 12%
no gorget
counterrate:=80%
Assumption for vere:
usual TP gear, capped accuracy
melee attack (base with food and gear) 700
WS attack 700
10% crit rate [with impetus and VS's natural crit it averages to 39% crit rate on ws, using rancor collar : 15 base 15 boost and rest comes from impetus up/down],3% triple attack rate,21% double attack rate, 160 str on TP and 200 on WS (pushing it near the high end too)
TP skill:=426 WS skill=412
mob's def:=500*0.90 (dia) 1 level difference
no boosting
691/1024 haste (maxed)
Kick rate rate:=0.25*1.1
regain:=1/tick
ODD rate 15%
no gorget
counterrate:=65%
For mob's stats :
110 vit, 500 def + dia2, +1 level difference
10k HP, 4 sec delay between each fight, I don't use any ws under 1k HP remaining, mobs have 4 second delay (for counter calculations)
Here are the results with current knowledge
With lower haste spharai will win even more due to counter. SS is decently higher in damage (9.5%) and spharai's ws damage per second is slightly higher than vere (5.4%) since vere is still a bit less delay. Spharai's stronger base damage and 3x proc helps it surpass vere's dots even though it has 15% ODD rate : spharai melee hits are 9% stronger but it's slower so in the end it's 2.1% better melee damage per second only. Also in practice Shijin has much less variance than vere so it's more reliable in a sense. Note that the counter+ on spharai only slightly helps damage output due to capped haste.
We know have to wait what the afterglow is.
Spharai is ~2.6% better than vere for pure damage not counting the tanking capability (-5/tick TP for 30 second on shijin and more counter).
