Yes sum vs average that is a great point and this is why you don't do spreadsheets in the wee hours of the morning. At any rate here are the numbers with the total as DPS instead of the average in the last number. Note it doesn't really change the ranking but it does give you a better idea of what the overall DPS looks like. Also these numbers absolutely do not take into account criticals. These are only based on the numbers visable by right clicking on each power in game.

I wanted to get a handle on the new pets for my scrapper. Since I really don’t care about buff effects I just wanted to look at pure DPS. As such I only looked at Core Superior Ally pets. I’m not a math wiz but the easiest way for me to look at it was to look at each pets attacks by right clicking the power in the create window. I put down the recharge and the damage each attack did. I summed up the recharge time and divided by the number of attacks. Then took this number and used it to divide the sum of the damage for all attacks. This should give me damage per second if I haven’t completely failed math.

There are problems with this of course..
1) It ignores the fact that some of these attacks are AOE or cone. I have no real way to predict the number of targets each would hit so my calculations treat them all as single target attacks.

2) It ignores damage type. Smashing/Lethal is the most easily resisted damage in the game vs. say Psi. So a Psi attack should in reality be worth more. I have no way to weight this in my calculations.

Here is what I came up with from worst to first. The first number is the DPS for pet 1 the second is DPS for pet 2 and the last is average DPS for both pets.

Clockwork: 91/52/71.5
Storm Elementals: 100/53/76.5
Seers: 89/74/81.5
Rularuu: 121/45/83
Polar Lights: 123/54/88.5
Vanguard: 104/75/89.5
Longbow: 160/40/100
Robots: 142/66/104
Phantoms: 149/77/113
Arachnos: 132/96/114
Carnies: 100/139/119.5
Warworks: 222/26/124
IDF: 207/65/136
Rikti: 209/119/164
Nemesis: 255/88/171.5
Cimerorans: 349/161/255

One of the key reasons the Cimerorans came out on top is they just have more attacks. The 1st pet has 5 attacks and the second has 4. This is at least 1 more attack per pet than any other choice. This creates a fuller attack chain and less time the pet is just standing there.

Comments/suggestions welcome.
