Do-it-yourself weapon comparison and ranking (upd Nov22 '04)

[Coprolith]

Not sure you understand what i was talking about in my previous post. When I purchased Warder's Fury and Alacrity the pets that came from my Savage Platinum Fists started flurrying and criting along with my warder. I know it only applies to 2 weapons (Savage Platlnum Fists and Hammer of the Timeweaver), but I was thinking maybe you could factor in the added proc DPS these AAs give when using these weapons

When I look at the work involved to implement this, not to mention the cluttering up of the interface, and weight it against the benefit gained, 1 or 2 percent better accuracy for 3 or 4 weapons wielded by a fraction of the community, then the answer is a definite no. My top priority is to get the general trends right. Next are AAs with a significant impact on the majority of weapons.  The 101 little things that are specific to only a fraction of the weapons are at the bottom of the list. Right now, the implementation of the OoW changes supersedes all else. As Tastian said, the data for WF and WA is out there, if you have a pet proccing weapon and these AAs, you can adjust the equivalent proc damage for the weapon yourself.

Cop, is the spreadsheet compatible with OpenOffice.org?  I load it up, but get missing variable errors throughout the whole thing.

No, it isnt. I've tried porting it to OO, but I just can't figure out why the macros won't work. I spent a whole evening just trying to get the code to execute past the first If..Then..Else statement but it simply won't. Don't know why, it's not a matter of syntax. Anyways i gave up on that. If anyone can figure it out and make an OO version that does work then by all means.

/sob, ah well...it doesn't diminish the effort put into it at all :)

Oct 6 Update:

Well its been over a week and no one pm'ed me any bugs about the level-dependent version, so im going to assume its perfect  :wink: and 'push it to the Live server'. See previous posts for a description of the changes. Other then that I've added I've added some more new OoW uberweapons.

I have a quick Haste Question. Does tribute-based Haste add to spell-based haste? I usually cast Celerity on myself and I also have the Tribute based haste on also. Am I wasting Tribute?

[Oneiromancer]

No, you're not, Tribute haste counts as worn haste, just like Tribute FT counts as worn FT.

Game on,

Cop,

For the Epic 1.5 you have an innate proc of 75 w/ -50 adjust on it.  what is this for?  is it perhaps accidentally put on?



thanks.

Found a weapon that isnt on the sheet



it dropped during the 5th birthday Skelly Army event.

[Coprolith]

Oooh yah, the ultimate twink weapon. I made a SHD and a WAR during the anniversary in case i ever to wanted play them as alts and equipped them both with one of these babies (not too mention every other item available  :wink: )

Will be added in the next update.

Im looking for a volunteer with Excel-savvy to take over maintenance of the spreadsheet, to add new weapons and possible future AAs and such, since Ill be quitting EQ when my current subscription runs out next month.

Its not a lot of work but there's some quirks and tricks to the sheet I need to explain. So if anyone is interested please send me a pm.

/hugs

If no one picks up the ball, I might be able to keep this up to date.

I have a modified version on my machine anyway where I have done stuff like adding weapons and augments not listed. That is the easy stuff.

The new AAs, effects and skills which could impact us might be beyond me, unless someone else is coming up the the formula which I always considered your true specialty.

Looks to me like Tastian might be the new number cruncher, but he is already busy as it is.

Even if I did it, I would need a place to host it. As I am already full on my current available bandwidth.

Solve my issues and I can do the fluff work on it. :lol:

[Tastian]

Bleh I think cop should just keep doing it so he can check in on us every month or so hehe.

I did the parsing for things like VW, level 70 caps, etc and I'll continue supplying data to whoever takes it over.  Just that I don't have the time to write up nice posts and make graphs and give MoEs like cop usually does hehe.  I haven't even had time to update my AA calc yet, so I really can't take over this too.  8(
