    I'm not creating a new thread for it since this is the same site it's being hosted on, so just letting you know...

    We've created a Follower Damage/Gear Comparison Calculator v.1.1!

    This is to honor those solo players out there. I know you exist, and I know you also care about shopping for your companions!

    Permalink: Here.
    • Like its predecessor, this calculator is completely browser-based. No spreadsheets, no programs to download!
    • Save/Load Profile is completely independent of the Player Damage Calculator. Save/Load away, just note you cannot use this functionality without allowing stored cookies for your browser. The data will survive on its own for 35 days unless handled otherwise.
    • Works for all levels of Followers, even if a follower level is not possible (like Level 1 Enchantress). You can play around with it as "What if..."
    • I did not incorporate external buffs because I cannot think of any +damage boosts for the follower that come from a player besides Mantra of Retribution - Transgression Rune. If you'd like to add that to the mathematics, just add an "8" under an attack speed column of any item.
    In addition to the new calculator:
    • added a brief tutorial video for both calculators to illustrate the practical applications of using the browser-based calculator.
    • improved mathematics: dual-wielding without +% damage weapons should be 99.95% accurate now. If you were off by 1-5 damage before, try .00-.05 damage now.
    • improved appearance: custom-look buttons, better looking banners.

    Hello loyal users of our Damage Calculator!

    We just added a Primary Stat input field under Class/Companion skills. This is for inputting random +stats that might appear on items such as set bonuses (+130 Dexterity, etc.).

    However this had an adverse effect on saved profiles for Step 3 (companion/class skills).

    If you have a saved profile at our site (http://www.theasiangamer.com/), please make sure to correct your values, and Save Profile again. I disabled expand/hide temporarily for this section to bring it to your attention, and will re-enable it in a day or two.

    Thanks, and sorry for any inconvenience.

    Hello!

    I'm Dyril. Just letting everyone know about a browser-based damage calculator I've been working on with my girlfriend "YummyUnicornNinja."

    You can check it out my site @ http://theasiangamer.com/
    Permalink to Player Damage Calculator: Here. (up to date, p1.0.7)
    Permalink to Follower Damage Calculator: Here. (out of date, p1.0.4)

    Version 1.4, subject to improvements to the formulas, appearance, and other idea implementations:
    • No spreadsheets, programs, or attachments: just visit the site, and if the post is not stickied, select the Damage Calculator option at the top menu.
    • Usage: Compute your current and theoretical damage using input fields.
    • Works for all classes, all followers, and all levels 1-60.
    • Follow the italicized baby blue instructions per step from top to bottom, to find your player damage.
    • Input gear data for followers.
    • Very accurate for both single-wielding and dual-wielding. Allow for increased margin of error when it comes to weapons with +% damage, and some rings/amulets with incorrect min-max damage displays.
    • You can save your current input information (if your browser cookies are enabled) up to 5 profiles. Data is stored client-side, and auto-expires after 35 days.
    • After saving profiles, you can load them at a later date.
    • Profile for Player and Follower are completely independent, to ensure no one messes up both at the same time.
    Video Tutorial Illustrating a Practical Application of the Damage Calculator:

    Change Log:
    9/12/12: Added +% Elemental damage support, auto-Paragon calculation, changed design layout, standalone page.
    8/22/12: Added integration for Paragon Levels and a new column for the new +Attacks per Second affix. Calculations work 99% for weapons, 0% for armor (just there for expansive thought in mind).
    8/08/12: Added ability to pull data from Battle.net Character Profile Link (Prototype stage). You will have to edit your weapon damage ranges for now for more accurate results, and manually select buffs/input most set bonuses.
    8/08/12: Added additional display for Damage Change for exact marginal % gain or loss.
    8/07/12: Added ability to convert profiles to links. Requires a saved profile for it to function properly.
    7/21/12: Added display for average damage per hit for main/off weapons.
    7/18/12: Added Dynamic Stat Equivalencies to Player Damage Calculator.
    7/15/12: Added new Follower Damage/Gear Comparison Calculator.
    7/02/12: v1.3: changed layout significantly from v1.1. Also added many many more class abilities and tooltips. Some not yet implemented, those that aren't implemented yet have not been personally tested yet. Once I feel confident about the math, we'll put them in.
    6/21/12: v1.2: added a maximum of 5 profiles to be saved (for 15 days), added old damage + new damage + change in damage at the bottom, added column for primary stat inputs for all items, added compatibility for any level, added new tooltips and color-coded columns
    6/14/12: added optional check box for enchantress buff. (Note: if using while dual-wielding, there will still have rounding error with small margin of 5-10 damage but still pretty close.)
    6/14/12: added temporary-looking buttons for Load Saved Data, Save Data, and Delete Saved Data. (Must have cookies enabled and saved for it to work its full 7 day lifespan.)
    6/13/12: added mouseover tooltips if you're unsure where/what the input field is describing.
