A DPS Simulator 2 - SimFF

What Viridiana is saying is that higher AA damage is not giving you higher total damage.

Delay is simply how fast the autoattacks come out.

So the formula is not doing the right thing.

In the sim, delay is not a factor in the damage - whether or not that is how the weapon is balanced is sort of irrelevant. The sim fires off autoattack events every DELAY seconds, using stats and AA_DMG to figure out the damage of each autoattack. So if that is incorrect or isn't how the game does it then we need to revisit this.

The damage Dervy models for his spreadsheet normalizes AA for this.

Yes. And i am saying that a higher AA_DMG stat on any weapon does not mean your auto-attacks will be higher.

Assume you have 20 Basedamage, and that is modified by AA_Delay to be added to your AA.

20 * 2.4 = 48
20 * 2.56 = 51.2

Basedamage modified by AA_Delay is a huge factor, and Dervy's formula has a significantly reduced interaction between these two. His dragoon formula works because virtually all heavensward dragoon weapons are 2.8 AA_Delay with a selected few at 2.88.
