Illusionist - Review of raw damage output

DK unsure stats

immuned

-42 ac no DR

+2 elmore chainsword

Just want to throw this out here so its in mind while we see numbers. If we're going to add other classes into the mix of testing to compare against illu, we have to remember that illu is only haste swing so a fair comparison would be to look at dps instead of single hit numbers, damage over say.. 10 second duration averaged out.

As an example, elf is low dmg per shot but has the fastest attack speed in the game for a limited time as long as they have a good mana bar using triples. Knight, DK, prince are brave speed- so dps will be higher than what is shown here in hits.

Good point. That is why shady and i tested 4 sunbursts vs 10 swings

timing

yes 4 sunbursts = 10 swings

time wise.

Sure, makes sense- with other classes tho, attack speeds vary

yup i dont have other classes, so those data should be conidered, I agree.

I heard people mentioning about mages on this server and justice server having a little weaker magic.

so maybe something you can look into if you want, to buff dmg of mage skills

no immune and no i2h, sunburst per hit is 110. T.T

I told him mage has the upper hand cuz they can dual cast which is faster then brave speed lol

i can double cast sunburst + coc for dmg testing later

4 sunburst + X coc scrolls would dmg

could illu hit + coc scrolls at the same time too?

or int elf triple + coc at the same time

Nah the down fallof double casting is it takes away from swing speed lol

So i mean I could but it would be similar result of swings

Triple and casting is kinda of the same way, but can get a few extra hits in

lvl 5 scrolls aren't unlimited neither... I don't think it's a good idea to put into the consideration.

While other classes being tested aren't bounded by limited resources.

Im only stating that because how does gamania solo bosses? He even dualcasts on seer..

Its a type of play style for mage technically you can make ct scrolls by buying level 3 blanks and turn that into an adena sink, ct should add roughly 30-60 dmg per cast

Pvp is virtually the same as bosses people use cms, and other resources opposed to regular hunting.

I agree ct can be added into consideration

elf can normal hit + triple at the same time

while dk hit + foe slayer

that's the normal gameplay for these chars

Right, illu is stuck just with slow swing speed same as de, each class has its downfall and benefit

we can test x ct + 4 sunbursts for an updated damage outputs

Kk

Ill be on around 630 est

however.. when a mage is dual casting

he wont be able to pot

Yeah he can

really..? :S

I usually main illu/mage on every server

Yes its doable, dualcasting takes practice to pot
