Well I did some math on Frenzy+Maniac Vs Bash+Onslaught.
Thanks @Gryzorz, you got me thinking about it some more, but I don't think your formula is correct as you simply cannot have anything less than 1 complete attack (you cannot have .15 of an attack). The build up to maximum damage must also be taken into account.
Comparing these 2 skills has to count the total number of attacks for each Skill within the same amount of time.
This is what I came up with..... and I think its pretty accurate.
_____________________________________________________
Calculations using a hypothetical attack speed of 1 attack per second.
FRENZY + MANIAC
1 sec - 110%
.85 sec - 114% -- (224%)
.70 sec - 118% -- (342%)
.55 sec - 122% -- (464% -- 3.1 sec -- Bash has done 582%, striking 3 times Vs Frenzy's 4)
.40 sec - 126% -- (590% -- 3.5 sec -- At this point Frenzy has struck again before Bash can)
.25 sec - 130% -- (720% -- 3.75 sec -- Frenzy has stuck a 2nd time before Bash can)
.25 sec - 130% -- (850% -- 4 sec -- Bash has now Hit for 194%, much less than Frenzy's 130% however, Frenzy has struck a total of 3 times more in the same amount of time, resulting in more damage being done)
Total Damage in 4 seconds = 850%
Damage in the following 4 seconds once Frenzy has stacked is as follows. Total = 2080%
1 sec - (4x Attacks @130) = 520
1 sec - (4x Attacks @130) = 520
1 sec - (4x Attacks @130) = 520
1 sec - (4x Attacks @130) = 520
Total Damage in 8 seconds = 2930%
_______________________________________________
Total Damage in 4 seconds = 776%
Total Damage in 8 seconds = 1552% (damage simply doubled, no modifiers applicable)
_______________________________________________
What this basically means, is that unless an enemy is destroyed by Bash+Onslaught in 3 strikes or less, Frenzy+Maniac does more damage.
Not to rude, but your math is wrong, that is not how you calculate attack speed. here is a handy formula for attack speed
Attack_speed = current attack speed / (("Percent increase or decrease" / 100) + 1 )
Remember there is a difference in increasing attack speed, not decreasing the amount of time between attacks. So you have to have a 100% increase in attack speed to be hitting ever 0.5 seconds given your example. I could show you what the correct answer, but as a math teacher, I feel like you should work it out youself as to help remember it in the future :Thumbs Up:
