Dps Layout for Monks

[butlerfamilywa]

*Reserved* Regular Hits & Crits ~ Having to redo the calculations, got my VIP back, checked cool-downs, and it seems all ki strikes are 4 seconds, stunning fist is 6, stunning blow is 15.. blah!

Keep in mind, that while I did list all strikes, these figures are for a level 20 Monk.
However I did include DPS figures for all Stances, at tier IV.

This will be a tricky calculation, because not every toon will have every buff, so you might have to do your own calculation in regards to what you run with on your monk. Strength Bonuses, ect

The goal of this is so that you can insert YOUR numbers into the math, pull out your calculator, add it all up, and know what YOUR DPS is.

We'll see if I can succeed at that.

*Still Editing in Process*

I'm currently trying to make sure I have the correct figures before I flesh out how many attacks per min a Monk gets, how many crit, how many blah blah blah..

Until I get the actual amount of APM, I cannot calculate how much DPS a monk puts out. So this section will be a work in progress for a bit

*Reserved* Path Strikes
APM = Attacks Per Minute

Fists of Darkness ~ Only Damages the Living ~
Cooldown: 3 seconds
You can activate this ability to channel negative energy into your attack, dealing 2 to 20 additional damage against living creatures. On a vorpal strike (natural 20 followed by critical confirmation), you deal an additional 1 to 50 negative energy damage. D&D Dice: Activate this ability to deal 2d10 (Avg 11) additional damage to living creatures plus another 1d50 (Avg 25.5) damage on vorpal.

Taking this information, we can figure out the Damage Per Second that Fists of Darkness will add to your over-all numbers.

3 Second Cool Down = 20 APM - 5% Miss chance (rolling a 1) = 19 Main-Hand APM that connect.
20 Base APM * 5% Vorpal Hits = 1 APM that roll and confirm a 20, leading to an extra 25.5 avg damage.
19 Main-Hand Connecting APM * 80% Off-Hand Proc = 15.2 Off-Hand APM that connect.
19 Main-Hand Connecting APM * 10% Double-Strike = 1.9 Double-Main Hand Connecting APM.
1.9 Double Main-Hand Connecting APM * 80% Off-Hand Proc = 1.52 Double Off-Hand Proc.

So, if you keep Fists of Darkness on timer, for a full minute, you should see...
19.00 Main-Hand hits.
15.20 Off-Hand Hits.
01.90 Double Strikes.
01.52 Off-Hand Double Strikes.
------------------------------
01.00 Vorpal Attacks Main-Hand
00.80 Vorpal Attacks Off-Hand Proc
00.10 Vorpal Attacks Main-Hand Double Strike
00.08 Vorpal Attacks Main-Hand Double Strike Off-Hand Proc

These are all per minute.




Touch of Death
Your attack deals 500 additional damage.
*Cool Down = 15 Seconds*

Taking this information, we can figure out the Damage Per Second that Touch of Death will add to your over-all numbers.

15 Second Cool Down = 4 APM - 5% Miss chance (rolling a 1) = 3.8 Main-Hand APM that connect.
3.8 Main-Hand Connecting APM * 80% Off-Hand Proc = 3.04 Off-Hand APM that connect.
3.8 Main-Hand Connecting APM * 10% Double-Strike = .38 Double-Main Hand Connecting APM.
.38 Double Main-Hand Connecting APM * 80% Off-Hand Proc = .304 Double Off-Hand Proc.

When you spam this per minute you get...
3.80 Main-Hand * 500 / 60 = 31.66
3.04 Off-Hand * 500 / 60 = 25.33
0.38 Double Strike Main-Hand * 500 / 60 = 3.16
0.30 Double Strike Off-Hand * 500 / 60 = 2.50
---------------------------------------------------
Total Touch of Death DPS =
56.99 DPS Fire/Ocean/Earth IV Stance (Main Hand + Off Hand = Total)
62.65 DPS Wind IV Stance (Main Hand + Off Hand + DS Main hand + DS Off Hand)
59.92 DPS Wind II Stance (For anyone only taking 9 levels of Monk for ToD)




Path of Harmonious Balance: Fists of Light ~Only damages Undead~
Cooldown: 3 seconds
You can activate this ability to channel positive energy into your attack, dealing 4 to 24 (4d6) (Avg 14) additional damage against undead. On a vorpal strike (natural 20 followed by critical confirmation), you deal an additional 1 to 50 (1d50) (Avg 25.5)positive energy damage to undead.

Taking this information, we can figure out the Damage Per Second that Fists of Light will add to your over-all numbers.

3 Second Cool Down = 20 APM - 5% Miss chance (rolling a 1) = 19 Main-Hand APM that connect.
20 Base APM * 5% Vorpal Hits = 1 APM that roll and confirm a 20, leading to an extra 25.5 avg damage.
19 Main-Hand Connecting APM * 80% Off-Hand Proc = 15.2 Off-Hand APM that connect.
19 Main-Hand Connecting APM * 10% Double-Strike = 1.9 Double-Main Hand Connecting APM.
1.9 Double Main-Hand Connecting APM * 80% Off-Hand Proc = 1.52 Double Off-Hand Proc.

So, if you keep Fists of Light on timer, for a full minute, you should see...
19.00 Main-Hand hits.
15.20 Off-Hand Hits.
01.90 Double Strikes.
01.52 Off-Hand Double Strikes.
------------------------------
01.00 Vorpal Attacks Main-Hand
00.80 Vorpal Attacks Off-Hand Proc
00.10 Vorpal Attacks Main-Hand Double Strike
00.08 Vorpal Attacks Main-Hand Double Strike Off-Hand Proc

These are all per minute.

*Reserved* Void Strikes

*Cool Down is 6 Seconds for Void Strikes*

Keeping it on timer =


6 Second Cool Down = 10 APM - 5% Miss Chance (Rolling a 1) = 9.5 Main-Hand APM that connect.
9.5 Main-Hand Connecting APM * 80% Off-Hand Proc = 7.6 Off-Hand APM that connect.
9.5 Main-Hand Connecting APM * 10% Double-Strike = .95 Double-Main Hand Connecting APM.
.95 Double Main-Hand Connecting APM * 80% Off-Hand Proc = .76 Double Off-Hand Proc.

So, if you keep the Elemental Strikes on timer, for a full minute, you should see...
9.5 Main-Hand hits.
7.6 Off-Hand Hits.
.95 Double Strikes.
.76 Off-Hand Double Strikes.

All Per Minute.

~~***Math Located Below***~~

*Cool Down is 6 Seconds For All Earth Strikes*

Now if you keep your earth strikes on timer for your 6 second timers, this is your calculation for amount of swings.

6 Second Cool Down = 10 APM - 5% Miss Chance (Rolling a 1) = 9.5 Main-Hand APM that connect.
10 Base APM * 10% Crit Hit = 1 APM that roll and confirm a 19-20. Leading to Earth Acid Damage.
9.5 Main-Hand Connecting APM * 80% Off-Hand Proc = 7.6 Off-Hand APM that connect.
9.5 Main-Hand Connecting APM * 10% Double-Strike = .95 Double-Main Hand Connecting APM.
.95 Double Main-Hand Connecting APM * 80% Off-Hand Proc = .76 Double Off-Hand Proc.

So, if you keep the Earth Strikes on timer, for a full minute, you should see...
9.5 Main-Hand APM * damage of strike / 60 seconds = DPS
7.6 Off-Hand APM * damage of strike / 60 seconds = DPS
.95 Double Strike APM * damage of strike / 60 seconds = DPS
.76 Off-Hand Double Strike APM * damage of strike / 60 seconds = DPS
------------------------------
01.00 Critical Attacks Main-Hand Per Min * damage of acid / 60 seconds = DPS
00.80 Critical Attacks Off-Hand Proc Per Min * damage of acid / 60 seconds = DPS
00.10 Critical Attacks Main-Hand Double Strike Per Min * damage of acid / 60 seconds = DPS
00.08 Critical Attacks Main-Hand Double Strike Off-Hand Proc Per Min * damage of acid / 60 seconds = DPS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then add it all up, and you have your total DPS that this Ki Strike puts out.

Main-Hand DPS + Off-Hand DPS + Crit Main-Hand + Crit Off-Hand = DPS for Fire, Earth, and Ocean Stances
Amount Above + Double Strike DPS + Off-Hand Double Strike DPS + Crit Double Strike DPS + Crit Double Strike Off-Hand DPS = DPS for Wind IV Stance

*RESERVED* Snarky Comment

[Desteria]

*reserved* for congragulatiosn on doign all the work that proves monks can really be dps.

[manfredshw]

NO more topic like this pls.
People should keep silence about monk dps and uberness.
Just shout it out: monk needs love. we are lacking dps etc.

I'd love to see monk becomes a demigod some day.

[butlerfamilywa]

I will get this topic finished, however I've had some issues crop up IRL that are needing my full attention right now. Sorry for the delay on getting it finished :(
