@ Rixul your base damage calculation does not match the listed calculation for Hysteria damage and modifier.

-Mods that affect base damage (i.e., Pressure Point, Spoiled Strike, and Steel Charge) are the only melee mods that can increase the weapon damage from the formula. As an example, a melee weapon with 30 base damage, +60% damage from Steel Charge, and +30% power strength will deal 300 + 1.75*1.3*30*1.6 = 409.2 damage.

Bottom of expert shows example of a weapon with base of 30 damage.

1.75 multiplier being Max Hysteria.

1.3 being Max Intensify

1.6 being Max Steel Charge

Using a simplification: 300+1.75*1.3*1.6*X is the equivalent of 300+3.64X

For the Max strength:

Max Blind Rage 1.99

Max Hysteria 1.75

Max Intensify 1.3

Max Pressure Point 2.2

Max Spoiled Strike 2

Max Steel Charge 1.6

So 300+1.75*1.99*1.3*2.2*2*1.6*X or simplified to 300+31.87184X

With X being base damage.

So base damage for Atterax in that equation for Hysteria would require a 45 to be input and Dragon Nikana has an 85 input.

Atterax in above equation is 1734.2328

D.Nikana in above equation is 3009.1064

The Crit calculations using these figures as base are listed in the post above yours.

The only part of the calculation that was not included in the post above yours was Frequency of Crits to determine DPS.

I left out the DPS calculations because by the time the frequency of Crits would become a factor for killing an enemy levels ; enemy levels would be high enough to warrant combining Paralysis Finisher stun to 1-shot heavies rather than kill with combo. And D. Nikana has the upperhand when a Crit is guaranteed or Yellow Finisher proc.

I will relay on your blog post.
