WAR Adjustments

How did you get that number by chance? Just curious, the AA rating on most PLD swords is in the low to upper 30's depending on delay.

Your auto-attacks are set to do 100 potency every 3 seconds. The standard GCD 2.5 seconds. Ergo, you get 83.33 potency/GCD from auto-attacks (2.5 / 3).

You can verify this by taking your weapon damage, dividing it by 3 and then multiplying it by your auto-attack speed. This will give you your auto-attack damage. Conversely, if you want to verify that it's 100 potency every 3 seconds, you can divide your auto-attack damage by your auto-attack speed and then divide your weapon damage by that number, which will always come out to 3.

Thanks, Kitru. That math works out I suppose, though I don't quite get where the 100 potency comes from.. Maybe it's just over my head lol.. Like the Bravura Animus, for example, 56.18 AA 3.44 delay, I guess I thought that was a 56.18 potency AA per 3.44 sec

That math works out I suppose, though I don't quite get where the 100 potency comes from.

Potency is basically a multiplier to your weapon damage, which is then tweaked by attack power and determination, with each point of potency representing 1% of your weapon damage. As such, a 280 potency attack will do 280% of the damage that your auto-attack does over 3 seconds (which is 100 potency as previously mentioned). It's a bit more complicated than that, but that's the simple version.
