COR Vs BRD In Meripo.

Okay, so I don't know the exact math. You've got me there. However, I do know what I've seen. You can do all this math until you're blue in the face but what it comes down to is the fact that I've done the parsing, and I've done hundreds of meripos.

And yeah.. like I said in the beginning, I'm at work. Yeah, I actually have a career and I don't spend 24 hours a day 7 days a week on these forums. Just happened to be a slow morning and now it's picking up again. So, I'll leave the math from a video game to the "cool kids" on the forum. Which gets you nowhere in life.

Peace

increase in WS frequency (which isn't -that- large)

Lol just wow bart, Pull the career card because you got embarrassed like always lulz. I see nothings changed since you moved to asura :P.

Yeah.. whatever al.. You could be supporting me because you've seen my drg in action, and you were there for the 3040 drakesbane..

TP

5.2 * 1.9 / 192 delay [MKris]
6 * 1.45 / 224 delay [Joyeuse]

192 hits of 6 * 1.45 = 1670.4tp [Joyeuse]
224 hits of 5.2 * 1.9 = 2213.12tp [Mkris]

Increase => 32.5% WS frequency [Joyeuse => Mkris]

Damage

8 * 1.9 / 192 delay [Mkris]
35 * 1.45 / 224 delay [Joyeuse]

192 hits of 35 * 1.45 = 9744 + 192fSTR [Joyeuse]
224 hits of 8 * 1.9 = 3404.8 + 224fSTR [Mkris]

Let fSTR = 3

Totals:

Joyeuse: 10320
Mkris: 4076.8

Decrease => 253% DoT [Joyeuse => Mkris]

This is without considering accuracy differences! Let's assume Dagger = 272 and Sword = 240; skill difference of 32 = acc difference of 28.8 which I will approximate to be ~14% hitrate.

Let's let Joyeuse have an 81% hitrate and Mkris a 95% hitrate.

Number of hits of Joyeuse = 192 * 1.45 in the time Mkris lands 224 * 1.9. Modified with 81% hitrate, this becomes 192 * 1.45 * 0.81 = 225.5.

Number of hits with Mkris = 224 * 1.9 using same logic above, this becomes 224 * 1.9 * 0.95 = 404.32.

TP gain;

Joyeuse: 225.5 * 6 = 1353
MKris: 404.32 * 5.2 = 2102.464

Increase in TP gain [Joyeuse => Mkris] = 55.4%

DoT;

Joyeuse: 225.5 * 35 = 7892.5 + 225.5fSTR
Mkris: 404.32 * 8 = 3234.56 + 404.32fSTR

Let fSTR = 3

Joyeuse: 8569
Mkris: 4447.52

Decrease in Damage [Joyeuse => Mkris] = 92.7% - Note in reality that this figure will be lower because Mkris will have more Attack in this case.

Finally then, comparing

55.4% WS frequency vs (<)92.7% DoT. At what TP/WS ratio will the 55.4% WS frequency triumph over the 92.7% DoT?

Answer: 37.4%TP / 62.6%WS. (note in reality due to pdif being ignored which is larger on the dagger hence greater DoT than predicted, this will be closer to 40TP/60WS~)

That only really matters when you killshot with WS and it also applies to kris. It gets tp faster. So you get TP faster and finish off the mob vs ending up with 95 at the end of the fight and get to open w/ ws on the next mob

whoops must have been the seizure...

Thanks Raen, that was exactly the elaboration on DoT I was seeking to locate.

Calling somebody out on their *** is a-ok until you do it on FFXI. Cool.
