Face

Clean shiny nose easily obtainable (5stats)​

Non-thief usually starts looting for mons (5wa 6stats)​

For skills:
- Bstep is 4 target not 6.
- Chain lighting has decayed damage for every target chain.
- Assuming 80% efficiency for sair and 100% efficiency for drk doesn't seem quite realistic. It really depends on the player. Maybe add a skill efficiency scrollbar for cannon/rapidfire and crusher(zerked)/crusher(normal).
- Archers have passive wa from Bow Expert (10wa) and Marksman Boost (15wa). This part could be confusing when users key in wa themselves. Maybe specify that it's already included in the calc.
- Prob also need Piercing Arrow, Bstep+bot, Barrage+ds, Torpedo (without egg), and Flamethrower+Ice splitter (with EB30+capsules, without egg) for AOE comparison.

For general:
- Since Assassinate is bugged in-game. Maybe add a disclaimer to prevent someone falsely quoting the page for balance discussions.
- Maybe add party dps compare tab to demonstrate buff contribution (such as se and si) towards the party.

People often think it's not worth to bring an archer if there is no NL in the party because they could always just bring another funded attacker instead. But I think this is an oversight on how SE can boost up the overall party dps even unfunded, especially when there were already multiple strong attackers in the party. It would be helpful to have a tool to demonstrate the added value from SE, and hopefully give archers more love or deserved balance adjustments.
You could achieve it by doing something like:

- select classes for the party, select gear tiers or input ranges for each member, buff check boxes
- display dps of each member, and display dps gain from SE/SI for each member.
- display the overall dmg increase from SE for none archer classes.
- display the overall dmg increase from SI for none bucc classes.

Edit: added perf pendant and medal. accidentally left those out.

 

added a bunch of stuff, centralised on @PinaColadaPirate's perfect tier as the default (most objective imo)

added a new graph, shows all tiers as lines, looks better imo, shows interesting stuff like paladin's limp perfect tier vs holy weak due to cap:



mages banished to shadow realm, viewable with all skills toggle (i wanna make more display options, they'll be back without the other stuff), all is super bloated

scrapped proposal page, skills now editable in main dashboard with 'edit' toggle, graphs live update

fixed bstep, chain lightning

lots of skills need adding that i don't have timings for, anyone know a good source?

added and moved disclaimers

added the efficiency bars



great feedback @PinaColadaPirate, u are awesome

lots still missing

 

A few more things to point out.

For gears:
- I forgot to mention pendants and medals in the previous post. I went back and edited it in the original post with the corrected items. They should all be using perf mon not htp, and 3wa medals.
- Your code used spear formula/skill for Purple surfboard (PA), and 2hBW formula for Crushed skull (1hBW). They should use the correct formula/skill for the corresponding category.

Also for the side note: All of the weapons I listed in the previous post were considered the endgame setup for the coresponding weapon category. It's probably better to show every type of weapon in separate categories since they are all equally important. Weapon of choice is really a preference thing. (Some ppl like to be less relient on SI so they go for faster speed weapons, some like to go against the meta and do Axe/BW/PA builds)
​

For skills:
- For skill attack speeds you can look up this site (https://ayumilovemaple.wordpress.com/2009/09/06/maplestory-attack-speed-reference/)

For graphs:
- Your graphs seemed very out of scale since they are using your custom tier assumptions on the x-axis. The space between each tier does not represent the real range difference.

A better plotting method that will show Cap effect more clearly is to use the exact range for the x-axis.
You should check out how this thread owner plot his graphs (https://royals.ms/forum/threads/dps-charts.124709/). I believe he imported the public ranges from the Damage Range Thread as data points and plotted the theoretical DPS accordingly.
If plotted correctly the graph should end up more linear until the skill combo starts hitting cap. In contrast, your plot right now seems more exponential which donest really make sense.​

 

the feedback says the graph should be "more linear" and the exponential shape "doesn't make sense," but it does.

dps is roughly linear with damage range, because damage range is calculated from gear, and dps is calculated from damage range.
gear is the input and damage is the output. damage range is an arbitrary mid point.
so if you put range on the x-axis, yeah, you get a straight line.
but that doesn't really tell you anything and in fact hides gear which has to be baked in regardless.

on top of that, potions jump between tiers, stoppers (+60) at low/mid, apple (+100) at high, naricain (+140) at perfect.
so the gaps between tiers aren't even close to equal in stat terms.

the more useful question for balance is how classes scale with gear, and that scaling IS non-linear.
stat and watk multiply together in the damage formula, so gains in both compound on each other.
