Taros DPS Knowledgebase

Nice spreadsheet.

Wait I've never seen DPS on any of the unit files.....
Did you calculate these numbers?

None of the units deal continual damage per second....
thats why there is reload times and mana per shots.....

Shouldn't we just refer to the normal damage?
I'm confused...

you can always calculate DPS based on dmg per hit and the time between hits and that calculated over a period of time..
So there is always DPS it is actually impossible to not have DPS when there is a dmg output.

Those units don't attack every second.....

Just look at the damage output.

Looking at the "DPS" which don't reflect true numbers because of reloadtimes just nullifies his charts.

They may be good if you are looking at a hailstorm attack or possibly a remote area attack with a continuous duration like the acolyte earthquake.

But a zombie doesnt have DPS.... you can simply the numbers so they match up easier for you... but thats retarded. The zombie does 175 damage per hit, THE END. He doesn't even attack every tick. Reloadtime isn't even measured in seconds.

I don't think you are completely understanding the chart.



The formula used to calculate DPS in TA:K is Damage divided by Reload Time. Since the Reload Time is based in seconds on the .hpi, then it calculates out perfectly.



If you have 5 rictus' hacking away at a cabal and 5 dark hands hacking away at a different cabal, which one do you think will kill the cabal first?

The Rictus, with the higher base damage, or the Dark Hand, with the higher DPS?

The rictus but only bc of its modifer against forts.

See the video I made.


And read the chart. The rictus doesn't have any damage modifiers against anything but undead, which is 20% of it's total damage.

Alof of people are confused about the damage modifiers the Rictus has. It just does a SHITLOAD of damage. There's a reason why the developers referred it to as the Taros Cannon in the .hpi files.

By the way, the reload time is in seconds.

Reload time for a catapult (aramon) is 6.5 and it fires every 6.5 seconds.

Reload time for an executioner is 1.5, and it swings 6 1/2 times in ten seconds. In other words, it was swinging every 1.5 seconds.

maths != clay

or maths + clay = fail

Guess your right...

Seriously Clay? LMFAO

lol

Weather witch, one of the most powerfull units of ta:k, god she's so hot

man where is the fallen angel, one of my favorite units ^^

and where are monarchs ;p

All the specialty units and monarchs are going to have a separate data sheet.

These are just the most common used units.

good boy, there are still much work to do : aramon, creon, etc... ^^ good luck

Final version is now up for Taros DPS.
