Khopesh vs Rapier DPS

[Thelmallen]

F(25):
Avg Hit = (25+5.5) * (15/20) = 22.875

Okay, I know I'm probably asking a noob question but what is the 15/20 fraction for when computing average hit damage?

it means 15 of the 20 hits are normal hits.

e.g. below that you see '4/20' meaning 4 of the 20 possible hits are criticals. These calculations don't take into account fortification though, or the fact that fortification doesn't affect burst effects.

It's a simple but effective way of calculating dps assuming hitting on a 2. From what I can tell this won't be happening all the time in mod9, except maybe for barbarians and kensei fighters in power surge.

And only if the barbs didn't train Barbarian PA 3 for some reason...

However, mod 9 includes Greater Destruction weapons, so maybe everyone can hit on 2s again! (Yeah, Greater Destruction is a bad idea)

Wrong.



Khops are the best, and PA makes them the bestest, better than the better they already were against rapiers, even if rapiers gain more from it, PA still makes the already best, betterer. I make great points!

ROFL... I needed a laugh.

Thanks comf. The extra Human Feat with which to get Khopesh, and the fact that they don't have to invest nearly as many Action Points as the Elf to get the same or slightly better DPS is a huge incentive to go Human. However, the Elf will have a to-hit advantage of at least +3 over the khopesh user which is why I will probably go elf on my FS. This will help offset the frequency with which I will need to cast Divine Power.

Where can I find the FS capstone? I forget.

Somewhere in the beta forums I'm sure.
