Tank Classes Off Tank DPS

[Eronn]

Every single melee class uses the exact same damage calculation. If their strength, weapon damage, and determination are equal, then 100 potency from class X will deal the same damage as 100 potency from class Y. 100 potency is equivelent to 100% of the strength, weapon damage, and determination calculation. 200 potency is double that calculation. 50 potency is half. The math in the first post is correct.

Berserk is a multiplier on your damage. Your damage is based on your strength, weapon damage, and determination. You can multiply your strength, WD, and determination by 50% then factor in potency, OR you can multiply your potency by 50% then factor in str, WD, dtr. Either way, you get the exact same damage in the end.

No, and no to both of those. Look into the data that has been developed specifically by Valky and other Beta testers. Different classes are slightly different in their calculations. Determination is still currently an unknown as far as I know. In simulators we currently treat it as a correction at the end of the formula, but no one knows for certain.

You say "no", then post a link that says the following:

"Final note: The vast majority of my testing for damage output was done on DRG. I did testing on other classes/jobs just to compare, and for the most part they follow the same algorithm."

...really?
