Tips

  • 1

    DPS is just theoretical - actual combat varies

  • 2

    Consider uptime and practical application

  • 3

    Attack speed and crit often scale together

  • 4

    Don't neglect survivability for pure DPS

Common Mistakes

  • Ignoring practical constraints like mana or stamina

  • Not considering boss mechanics and downtime

  • Overlooking synergies between stats

  • Sacrificing too much defense for offense

Frequently Asked Questions

Is higher DPS always better?
Not always. Burst damage, survivability, and utility matter too. A dead DPS does zero damage.
How do I increase my DPS?
Improve any factor in the formula: base damage, attack speed, crit chance, or crit multiplier. Often one stat is more efficient to stack.
Does this account for abilities?
This calculator covers basic attacks. For games with abilities, total DPS includes ability damage, cooldowns, and rotations.
