How It Calculates the Results

The DPS is calculated using the following formula:

  • Total Damage = (Base Damage * (1 + Increased Damage + Elemental Damage) + Added Damage)
  • Average Crit Multiplier = 1 + (Critical Strike Chance * (Critical Strike Multiplier / 100 – 1))
  • DPS = Total Damage * Attack Speed * Average Crit Multiplier
