Jan 07, 2018 DPS meter is a tool helping massively to learn and improve. It is showing if the player is casting skills timely and if the combination of skill used gives expected efficiency in term of damages. It becomes even more helpful if doing seriously WvW, Raids and Fractals. Multiple Targets: The current DPS rankings offer strictly single-target and splash-AoE (1 main target+2). There are scenarios in-game where there are a lot more targets which can allow for much more aggressive AoE. Player Variables: Skill, latency, gear, a lucky string of crits, etc. Can all significantly impact in-game DPS. Rankings can help.
Dps Meter Gw2
A DPS meter is a program or system found in many RPGs that measures a character's actual damage output over time. Rather than the approximate/estimated value that the damage number shows in the character window in Diablo 3 (and the previous games in the series) a DPS meter records or estimates actual damage output.
Many fans would like a DPS meter in Diablo 3 since the number in the character window, the so-called Sheet DPS can be very far from accurate since it does not include important factors such as Elemental Damage, damage bonuses against Elites or Demons, and damage from bonuses to individual skills, Many players have an Effective DPS 2 or 3x higher than their Paper DPS displays, and thus wish for a DPS meter to get an accurate reading.
Blizzard has acknowledged that the DPS display in game is inaccurate and merely an approximation, but they have also repeatedly stated their lack of interest in fixing it, or implementing a DPS meter. And since they also disallow player modding or UI improvements, players will continue to ask while using third party sites to see more accurate analyses of character stats.
