So here's a few builds with Average Damage Per Hit (ADPH) Calculations for after the Quaility of Life (QoL) improvements. All builds use Max Power Strength and Steel Charge on Valkyr. The Formula used is... ADPH=(HysteriaBase*(1+BaseMods))*(NormalAttackChance+(Crit1Mult*Crit1Chance)+(Crit2Mult*Crit2Chance))*(1+Elemental)   Max Damage Build : PressurePoint, SpoiledStrike, 4x 90% Elemental, TrueSteel, OrganShatter (710 * (1 + 2.8)) * (0.6 + (1.9 * 0.16) + (3.8 * 0.24)) * (1 + 3.8) = 23517.9264 Elemental Build : PressurePoint, SpoiledStrike, 4x 90% Elemental, 2x 60% Elemental (710 * (1 + 2.8)) * (0.75 + (1 * 0.10) + (2 * 0.15)) * (1 + 5) = 18616.2 Crit Build wQOL : PressurePoint, SpoiledStrike, 2x 90% Elemental, TrueSteel, OrganShatter, 2x QoL mods (710 * (1 + 2.8)) * (0.6 + (1.9 * 0.16) + (3.8 * 0.24)) * (1 + 1.9) = 14208.7472 Elemental wQOL : PressurePoint, SpoiledStrike, 4x 90% Elemental, 2x QoL mods (710 * (1 + 2.8)) * (0.75 + (1 * 0.10) + (2 * 0.15)) * (1 + 3.8) = 14892.96   And now for some weird ones... Physical Damage : PressurePoint, SpoiledStrike, Rending Strike, 3x 120% Physical, TrueSteel, OrganShatter (710 * (1 + 2.8)) * (0.6 + (1.9 * 0.16) + (3.8 * 0.24)) * (1 + (5/3)) = 13065.5147 <p data-rte-empty-lines-before="3" data-rte-fromparser="true">Max Damage / NO STEEL CHARGE : PressurePoint, SpoiledStrike, 4x 90% Elemental, TrueSteel, OrganShatter <p data-rte-empty-lines-before="3" data-rte-fromparser="1">(710 * (1 + 2.2)) * (0.6 + (1.9 * 0.16) + (3.8 * 0.24)) * (1 + 3.8) = 19804.5696  <p data-rte-new-node="true">Crit Build / Extreme QOL : PressurePoint, SpoiledStrike, TrueSteel, OrganShatter, 4x QoL mod <p data-rte-new-node="true">(710 * (1 + 2.8)) * (0.6 + (1.9 * 0.16) + (3.8 * 0.24)) * (1 + 0) = 4899.568  <p data-rte-dragged="true" data-rte-new-node="true">Elemental / Extreme QOL : PressurePoint, SpoiledStrike, 2x 90% Elemental, 4x QoL mods <p data-rte-new-node="true">(710 * (1 + 2.8)) * (0.75 + (1 * 0.10) + (2 * 0.15)) * (1 + 1.9) = 8997.83  <p data-rte-new-node="true">  <p data-rte-new-node="true"> Summary.. <p data-rte-new-node="true"> The big takeaway is that unless you have a really strange build on you Melee Weapon Hysteria is going to do more damage than it could possibly have done pre-17.5, even if you don't use Steel Charge. If you're using 2x QoL mods then an Elemental build will result in you doing about 4.8% more damage than if you went for a Critical build.
