dps (damage / rate) question

from Demigod Forums

I'm making some graphics that show the stats of all the demigods compared to eachother.

I hope the stats on the wiki are still correct?

 

Anyways, I was wondering how to calculate DPS.

You have a damage, say 100, and a rate say 0,50

The rate goes up as you level up so I'm assuming more rate is faster attacks, so I assumed the rate shows how many times each second you attack

The calculation for this would be: damage / 1 * rate

Is this correct? It's just a guess, but sounds logical to me.

 

edit: I just realized how silly the / 1 is since it doesn't have any effect, but it seemed logical since you have 1 second but you might as well leave it away =)

These graphs already exists. Search the forum. Don't reinvent the wheel.

Here you go Yeodan.  This might help.

There are charts out there, be sure to take a look at them before continuing to make sure it hasn't been done yet.  It would be great to see more though!

That's the correct formula. Becareful with decimals. The wiki does have misinformation in it.

You need divide 1 by take the attack time (ie. Oak 1.45 seconds at level 1) and multiply it by the average damage (Oak = 160 at level 1)

1/1.45 =.69    

.69*160 = 110.

Attack time appears to be different from rate of fire.  I don't know how the numbers correlate at this time.
