How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Jonnycbad]

Since -10% STR/INT from Dragon Kick/Virus is considered a -10% Damage output during things like T13 etc, is it safe to assume +100ish STR from Draconion Potion HQ when we have about 1000 base STR is approximately a 10% damage increase for those 15 seconds?

No, since the Potion won't increase Weapon Damage or your secondaries.

% damage output goes in a different spot than the +100 STR. In the case of Heavy Thrust vs a potion for instance, basically the difference is something like:

(((WD * somemultiplier) + ((STR +100 from potion) * somemultiplier) * SOME MATH) * 1.15 from Heavy Thrust) * more math.... = damage

NOTE: Not the actual calculations. Just an example obviously for effect

So why is it that people say Dragon Kick/Virus roughly decreases the mob's outgoing dmg by ~10% when they are -10% to primary stats (which is about how much HQ Draconion Potion of STR increases a i190 DRG's STR by)

Because mobs most likely don't have Weapon Damage, Det, and SkS.
