OK, OBVIOUSLY not a maths genius here, but I see many posts for DPS saying "work out your average total damage (including ticks if it has a duration component)" but I don't honestly know how to do this. If someone could please explain this for me It'd be very much appreciated

Pinski

add the min and the max up with how many tics and divide 2, OMGZ!

But the ticks do a range of damage too?

SacDaddy

get some data, use ACT, check out the average damage column.

I'm talking with the game off upload like the last 2 weeks of yourself doin stuff in raid. or solo, or group. whatever, just make the data consistant.

If possible I'd rather use the formula if anyone knows it - I'm assuming it's something like Min Dmg + Max Dmg / 2 (same for ticks x number of ticks) then divide total by (casting time + recovery time) ??

remember pvp damage is different so filter out those fights.

Taldarn

I don't fight pvp

Just wanna make sure my calculation is correct before I work everything out is all =)

I have some Qs on this, as well. For a person that gets varying group setups, what is the best way to figure SDE? Self-buff / -int values only? Just curious as I am getting different values in ACT. This is how I initially calculated this, but looking to see how I can improve.

Does it make sense to get the parse (I like Daray's method) off the training wall in KJ?

I am no mathmetician - I rely on all of you wonderful smarties to help me out

daray

I only used that training wall to get an estimation for the spells/abilities that did not state their values.
