DPS Calculator
Posted: Fri Oct 31, 2014 11:07 pm
I've been toying with learning some basic programming recently and had an idea of creating a simple DPS calculator for Grimrock2 as a learning experience.
I don't really know how to make a user interface yet, so it's still just code, but it should be easy enough to use for anyone who can type in their attributes and click run.
Here it is: https://trinket.io/python/23702aad7f
How to use: Set the STAT variable to what ever your dexterity or strength is, then click Run at the top. It should show the DPS for every weapon plus the top combos/specials to the right. There's also some other options you can play around with that should be self explanatory.
Note that these "DPS" scores are calculated as if your character were just standing still attacking after every cooldown. It doesn't take into account movement or accuracy/damage reduction since I don't know the formulas for those, as such it's usefulness may be limited.
Funnily enough, if you have very high strength (say with Rage potion stacking) that Light Branch on the ground at the start of the game becomes the best in slot weapon!
