So there seems to be a plague of Fast Weapons in the game both on xbox 360 and ps3.
lets take a look at why. When using a Fast Weapon the sheep DPS jumps to billions of damage, this is most appealing for some..
Lets look at what really happens and forgive me if the stats aren't what is in the current patch I have to rely on what blizzard has for skill stats..
Lets start with Barbadian:
Hammer of the Ancients
Secondary
Cost: 20 Fury
Call forth a massive hammer to smash enemies directly in front of you for 535% weapon damage. Hammer of the Ancients has a 1% increased Critical Hit Chance for every 5 Fury that you have.
lets look at the math a little
OK so in this skill we do 535% Weapon Damage
now I'm told that fast weapons are 13-16 attacks per second and I'm also told that they can do from 10,000 to 15,000 damage
Lets look at a 13 attacks with 10,000 damage..
So we have to do some stuff to this weapon before we can calculate the actual damage of it and that is we have to divide the number of attacks by the damage..
10,000/13 = 769
only 769 damage per hit wow..
now we can figure percentage from Hammer of the Ancients
769*535% = 411,415
441,415 getting better..
Now lets look at a legitimate weapon one that can be found anywhere
Griswold's Perfection
Legendary Sword
1901.2–2274.3
Damage Per Second
(1149–1367)–(1567–1882) Damage
1.40 Attacks per Second
1 attack per second OK we don't have to divide anything.. straight math now...
1901 to 2274
1901 + 2274 /2 = 1936 * 535% =1,035,760
1 million from 1 hit with a legitimate weapon oh and that don't have any damage modifiers on it..
The game runs stable and wont roll host every 5 min of game play..
This can be applied to every skill..
What about the DSP that I mentioned at the beginning that has nothing to do with how much damage you deal.. its not actually calculated in the hit damage...
