Rogue DPS Spreadsheet - Page 101

Safid · 05/10/07, 11:02 AM

Has anyone tested The Night Blade on the PTR to determine if it's value for total DPS is still as high as the spreadsheet indicates?

More than likely. What is your normal FPS/Ping?

Must be some really weird lag then.

Time between attacks (ms)
922
641
1468

I've tried TargetArmor for a while and it shows, effective:

Attumen: 8312
Midnight: 7531
Moroes: 7112
Maiden: 6065
Crone: 6255 (for reference as I have a kick in a combatlog)
Julianne: 6198
Romulo: 7165
Curator: -
Aran: 2643
Netherspite: 2961
Malchezaar: 7100
Nightbane: 7439
Illhoof: 5344

We have some ferals tanking in Karazhan from time to time, so some numbers might be off depending on if the warrior was sundering or tanking something else.

Maulgar: 6490
Blindeye: 5730
Gruul: 6283

Magtheridon: 6123
Channeler: 6169

Hydross: 6987
Lurker: 6758 (base 7685 according to hunter beast stats that koaschten posted, link)

Going through some old combat logs and checking kicks (112-113 damage on 0 armor lvl 70 player, w/ Murder) I get:

The Crone: 5569 (74)
Julianne: 3994 - 6017 (72-82)
Aran: 914-1025 (103-104)
Blindeye: 3647-5143 (76-84)

If I remember I'll try and do some kicking on non-caster bosses as they generally have more armor. The TargetArmor numbers are probably slightly higher than the real values as it probably can't differentiate between MH/OH attacks (and doesn't check for buffs/debuffs), with a fast OH and the 75% OH penalty it's probably a fair amount, guessing ~1000 if compared to the lurker/aran stats but that might be due to bad Sunder uptime as both encounters are fairly mobile. I don't know if Murder is added to the paperdoll either so that might throw the numbers off a bit too.

Going Teromoth hunting (lvl 63, hunter stats showing 4708 base):
Kick: 4737 (78 damage per kick)
Targetarmor: 4831 (DW, mixed white/yellow, ranged from 4600-4900 but averaged around 4800 after some kills)

Did you replace your MH with anything? Because if you were punching, barehanded speed is 2.0 I believe.

I've been a faithful user of this spreadsheet since the start of Naxx and on Patchwerk it accurately modeled my sustained DPS within 10-20 DPS.

But now I'm sad to say that it seems there is something glaringly wrong:

Last night when fighting Morogrim I got water-tombed once during the fight and my sustained DPS by the end of the fight was 1014. I had battleshout, healing shammy with enhanced totems and a hunter aura; per the spreadsheet my DPS should have been 1400. I know I lost a bit of DPS due to the water tomb but I was watching my current DPS via SWstats the whole time, even while tombed and it slowly ticked down (because it was near the end of the fight) it didn't drop from 1400 to 1014 in the that time ; ).

Now you can blame it on poor cycles if you want to, but I've been playing a rogue since release and studied cycles and DPS like a science like most of you; I know my cycles and how to maximize DPS.

Now you could also say that it's just Morogrim's armor, but I mean seriously, has any rogue hit 1300 or 1400 DPS on *any* raid boss in TBC? Your best chances for that are Hydross with the adds, bladefury and good trinket usage but the 1350 DPS performance posted earlier on these forums on Hydross was shown to be faulty data with the actual closer to 1050.

I don't want to come here and just complain, I'll gladly jump in and help collect the data to fill the holes, I'm just not sure what needs to be done. I can't help but think that the error lies in the glancing blows and/or armor levels of the raid mobs. I'm thinking somewhere in the neighbourhood of 65%-70% reduction via armor instead of 85%.

The one morogrim fight I had with no tombs, I hit 1389 dps for the 9 minute fight, so its definitely doable.

2.2.4i BETA
Added -armor value. Now its easier to add items with -armor

Plz check all items with armor penetration. Don't found any bugs

Are Thundering Skyfire Diamond and Relentless Earthstorm Diamond modeled correctly in your versions mih?

On the question of whether or not the blue post on weapon skills was correct, I recently discovered that your fishing skill IS your fishing weapon skill (I equipped the quest reward from Shat. and found that my weapon skill was 395, and then added a +75 lure and it became 470). Assuming the fishing skill acts as the weapon skill for a fishing rod, one could test the miss/dodge/parry rate against a level 70 mob (or a boss mob) and see weapon skills work. With such big weapon skill difference (350 to 470), it'll probably be easier to see, and get better results that aren't reliant on maybe 10 weapon skill difference, where luck might play a factor in a small sample. I'll try to run some tests later today if I can get a healer, but I don't have a lot of time right now.

no.
don't know how to add 3% crit dam :/
and don't know procrate of thundering skyfire diamond

The simplest way to add 3% crit damage would probably be to have it tweak the variable that controls Lethality by the appropriate amount.

Good call. I've known about the fishing skill=weapon skill thing for a while ("I'll duel you with my fishing pole, 1 sec while I add 4 crit"), but it never occurred to me to use it for any kind of testing.

That wouldn't quite work, as Lethality only affects yellow crits, while Relentless Earthstorm Diamon would appear to be all crits.

I didnt have anything on my MH... and my lag at that time was around 250ms.. believe me or not, that's amazing latency for me, heh!

Im gonna do some more testing tonight... later!

As far as I know this has been fixed quite some time ago.
People *were* actually using their fishing poles as weapons.
