Every damage got minimum and maximum value. You don't do the same damage in every hit.

Critical is a successful hit that deal extra damage. So, your hit + 100% (critical damage) is the damage you're dealing.

The DPS is Damage per Second .. Its the Average of your Damage..

Just like a car .. You drive in city, you get 10km/L.. You drive at highway, you get 20km/L.. The more you drive in city, the average you're getting will be around 12km~14km/L .. The more you drive highway, the average that you're getting will be more towards 20km/L.. In the end, its not really accurate.. If it shows 15km/L doesn't mean everytime you go out it consume that volume..

It's hard to calculate something which is randomly generated and based on chance.

How to calculate average or the so called DPS?
Hit 1 - 10k
Hit 2 - 50k
Hit 3 - 30k
10+50+30= 90k / 3 = 30k .. You get what I mean? LOL

DPS is just a figure of your average. You don't really rely on it to show accurate dmg.

Check your weapon min & max dmg. Example 100~200. How you get your DPS?
100(min)+200(max)=300/2=150x1.2(AttackSpeed)= 180DPS

So, you're dealing 100min to 200max at 1.2 times per second. Average is 180.
Case 1 : IF you're unlucky now, you hit 100dmg 100dmg 100dmg. You call the DPS fake? NO.
Case 2 : IF you're lucky now, you hit 200dmg 200dmg 200dmg. You call the DPS fake again? NO.


Let say you have 5% critical chance / 100% critical damage. How you get your DPS?
0.5(criticalchance)*1.0(Criticaldmg)+1=1.5*180(basedmg)= 270DPS

So, if you manage to trigger the critical. According to above scenario :-
Case 1 : 100dmg + 100% = 200dmg
Case 2 : 200dmg + 100% = 400dmg

Adui. I trying to explain DPS and don't understand it at all.
You cannot take your DPS which is 55k and add 220% critical to it. DPS is your AVERAGE. Not CONSTANT dmg.

Meaning that you're dealing 22k damage only on that hit and you trigger the critical.
22k(your hit)+220%(your critical)=70k

Yea.. Sorry.. I miss that out.. Not base damage x critical .. It's base damage + % critical ...
Sorry i confuse ppl cause I already confuse myself.. LOL

Yeap. I don't like ppl take sharpshooter into count. That is the most fake figure shown on dps.

Yea baby. Its a bonus damage so you have to ADD 200% instead of multiplying it.

Ppl that has alot of dex will go for higher weapon dmg. Those that has high critical chance will go for critical dmg on weapon.
In your case. Let say the user has 5% critical chance ignoring all other bonuses.
First weapon, 0.5(crichance)*1.99(criticaldmg)+1=1.995*784= 1564DPS
Second weapon, 0.5(crichance)*0.7(criticaldmg)+1=1.35*870= 1174DPS

I think can sell 1xx USD only. Now economy bad. Not much ppl buying already. Somemore its a spear, less popular cause the slow AS.
Go RMAH check, all stuck there for days.

Now it's my turn to not understand what you both saying and whether you both understand what i said earlier..
