The new build I've been working on is a Dark/Invul Brute. Yes, I said Brute in the Scrapper forum. Looking at the spreadsheet topic above, it says Brute Dark does 143.7 DPS average, and Scrapper Dark does 141.6 DPS average. Now, I created my build and compared both and by the look of it, Scrapper pretty much kicked the Brute build out of the water in terms of damage.

My question is, is this auto-factoring Critical Hit? or no? Whether Crit is toggled on or off, it doesn't show any difference in the damage. Here are the builds.

BillZ was factoring in 90% Fury for Brutes. This is likely the discrepancy you're seeing as Mids default Fury is 0%.

With 90% Fury, I have Midnight Grasp hitting for 578 with Soul Drain set to 1 target. On the Scrapper, same thing- 1 target from Soul Drain, Midnight Grasp is hitting for 1010. If there is that much of a difference without Critical being factored in, then that's unbelievable.

Kain, there's no way that's correct.

In Mids, go to Options, Configuration, the Effects and Math tab, and set Damage to be "ignore extra damage." If you leave it on Show Average it takes crits into account.


Be well, people of CoH.

Thanks BillZ. I had a feeling I missed something. I knew there was no way that could be correct. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Now I am free to make my Brute without looking at Scrapper and going "Oh yeah?"

Been playing too long to make that mistake. lol. I should have known that.

I think the Chance for Build Up proc in tactics is skewing the numbers heavily in the scrapper's favour. If you switch that off you should get a more accurate comparison.

I keep wanting to remove the chances for buildup I have in my main's build, but every time I check it there's a net loss in DPS without them.


Be well, people of CoH.

I have the Chance for BuildUp in my Brute as well. I agree BillZ. I have it in another of my 50's. Not worth removing.
