Melee set DPS comparison(s)

Hey all,

I am coming to the number-cruncher specialists in the Scrapper forum to ask a question. I know that there's the thread on the Rikti Pylon times, but I looked through there and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I know that a while ago there were comparisons done to calculate the DPS of all of the melee damage sets. Does anyone know where that thread has gotten to, or if it even still exists?

Thanks

It's called The Results Are In, but it only covers SO performance and is not necessarily valid anymore because of game changes. I don't think it takes into account primary and secondary combos, which is a significant part of the equation.

I am fine with all of those caveats. I know that secondary choice will definitely affect things, as will any pool power choices or IOs, but I just needed a place to start. Thanks!

Though I guess I have to ask: was Arcanatime known back in 2009? I feel like that was discovered a bit more recently.

Also don't forget the sets have (usually) fairly disparate differences between single-target dps (e.g., Pylons, AVs) and AOE dps.

Yep, it was. This is what BillZ refers to when he says

Cast times altered using Arcanaville's tick interval modification roundup((base/.132)+1)*.132 and all cast times listed in this post are showing this modified value.

Ahhh...yup, missed that line. Thanks for the catch.
