How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[aleph_null]

How did this happen? I'm truly curious because I see so much talk about WD being the end all be all of everything.

The scaling of dps with respect to crit is quadratic, so the more crit you have, the more valuable every additional point of crit is. This is the opposite of det/WD/str, since the scaling of dps with respect to det/WD/str is linear, they have diminishing returns.

Was there a certain threshold in crit that we passed to get to this point?

No, it's not related to any threshold. But if you ask whether there was a threshold where 1 point of crit was less valuable than 1 point of det, there might be, though I don't know and it doesn't seem relevant anymore.


Think of it as something like this, f (damage) is a function of x (crit), and f(x) = x^2.

If your crit is 100, then f(100) = 10000, adding 1 crit here would give you f(101) = 10201, which is a 201 damage increase.

But if your crit is 1000, then f(1000) = 1000000, adding 1 crit here would give you f(1001) = 1002001, a 2001 increase.


Meanwhile det is like this, f (damage) is a function of x (det), and f(x) = 5x.

No matter how much det you have, adding 1 point of det would increase f's value by 5.

So if the current 270 relic with acc/crit is only 3 dps higher than the alex spear, how big will the dps gain be once it reaches 275?
