If the shoe fits~ If you were concerned about damage around the levels you theorize power berserker will hit with this, there's a whole field of classes that are easier that do comparable levels of damage, and not a single one of their threads has anyone panicking. It's just really weird to me that it's the one with the low playrate that needs the seat belt.

What is "making you the villain" is not the "understanding how numbers work" its how you're ignoring the context and the bigger picture. You do seem to be focused on Warrior with this particular concern when it is a far more wide ranging, across many classes, circumstance that isn't being acknowledged or taken into consideration. It is basically reading as "This is a problem on Warrior and Warrior alone therefore they should change it before the patch launches" which isn't a solution because the everything else that already exists now with other classes will continue to exist. You're also taking theorized numbers in a vacuum, benchmarks are benchmarks. On a golem. That doesn't move or have mechanics which are all disruptions of DPS output especially on a melee class in this game. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure The Heartless.3261 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) Quote *checks notes*...math. @mandala.8507 Let me point something out. Quote To break it down: From 30 seconds in the video until 54 seconds, we do 33.6k dps over 24 seconds with the following procs of our rage and burst skills: 6 Arc Dividers 5 Decapitates (would have been 6 if I didn't mess up) 2 Blood Reckonings 2 Wild Blows With our new extension via Smash Brawler, this means that over a 24 second period, we extended our Berserk mode by: 6 Arc Dividers for 2 extra seconds each = +12 seconds 5 Decapitates for 1 extra second each = +5 seconds 2 Blood Reckonings for 2 extra seconds each (still works this way on current patch) = +4 seconds 2 Wild Blows for 4 extra seconds each (still works this way on current patch) = +8 seconds So in total, we extended our berserk mode by 29 seconds (30 if I hit all my decapitates) over a 24 second period when it already has a baseline duration of 20 seconds. You're not accounting for the cast times of the moves that increase the berserk durations. Decapitate takes .75 seconds to hit. Wild blow takes .75 seconds to hit. Arc Divider takes .75 seconds to hit. Blood reckoning takes .25 seconds to activate. Let's assume all of these are performed under quickness, so .325, .325, .325 and .125. Decapitate grants you 1 second, -0.325 from the quickness enhanced cast time, so 0.675. Arc Divider grants you 2, less 0.325 cast time, so 1.675. Wild Blow, 4 - 0.325, so 3.675. Blood reckoning is 1.875. On the rotation you submitted, you would have extended your berserk mode by 3.375(Decapitate), 10.05(Arc Divider), 7.35 (Wild Blow) and 3.75 (Blood Reckoning) That's a 24.5 second increase, over a 24 second period. Even if you pushed this perfect and got the extra decapitate, you're looking at 25.1 over a 24 second period. A single second of error room for your rotation, or you're under the boot of entropy. the fact that you skill clicked doesn't really matter in this instance, you cannot anim cancel in this game (with some exceptions, such as Axe5, but damage loss), so things like wild blow and blood reckoning need to play out anyway. As you are aware, warrior has a lot of big chunky hits that need to complete because the damage packet is on the end of them. There's no instants here. This duration cannot be increased with concentration because it is not a boon. Now imagine the boss sneezes and you flinch. Or you sneeze. Or your connection isnt perfect for a single second. All the things that can interrupt you outside of you focusing on a golem. You could get yourself some more wiggle room by swapping out for outrage, but you lose damage when you do that. Your utility bar is not as flexible as you assert with this change, and the breathing room for permazerk is far tighter.

Do rage skills refund the cast time of the skills used in fractional berserk mode duration when they land? Quote You're not accounting for the cast times of the moves that increase the berserk durations. what I mean by this is you're not actually getting the full second values of the skills used to extend berserk mode. You're getting slightly less, because the animations need to complete. When you account for that, the uptime is much tighter. Thats why I mentioned the high end of 25.1 if you got in the other decapitate. Quote With our new extension via Smash Brawler, this means that over a 24 second period, we extended our Berserk mode by: 6 Arc Dividers for 2 extra seconds each = +12 seconds 5 Decapitates for 1 extra second each = +5 seconds 2 Blood Reckonings for 2 extra seconds each (still works this way on current patch) = +4 seconds 2 Wild Blows for 4 extra seconds each (still works this way on current patch) = +8 seconds So in total, we extended our berserk mode by 29 seconds (30 if I hit all my decapitates) over a 24 second period when it already has a baseline duration of 20 seconds. This extension is actually 24.5, because berserk mode time doesn't pause while you cast. For arc divider, you don't actually get 12 seconds, you get 9.75, because a portion of that is spent casting.

Do rage skills refund the cast time of the skills used in fractional berserk mode duration when they land? The berserk surplus we generate across the cycle (the cycle simply being the period which I picked based off the 80% mark from the golem room) is the sum of the berserk extension generated minus the time it took to cast all skills. The 24 seconds includes the cast times because that's what we spent the 24 seconds doing. 24 seconds is already the sum of all cast times of our abilities. Berserk extension sum total = 29 How long it took us to do that = 24 seconds "How long it took us to do that" includes all the cast times for the burst and rage skills, because it's the sum of all cast times for the rotation. So the surplus we generated is 29-24, which equals 5 seconds extra every 24 seconds (at the speed I was playing, which isn't actually that impressive). We can't subtract the individual burst and rage skill cast times from the time spent in rotation total separately, because they are already part of the 24 seconds we spent doing the rotation. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My faith in humanity can't take this hit today. Nope~ I don't think you're talking about what I'm talking about. I am not referring to the total cast time of the abilities, I am talking about the total time gained specifically for berserk mode continuation. Let me try to explain it a different way. With the new Smash Brawler, you don't get additional berserk time, Berserk lasts 20 seconds by default (on next patch.) so, by 20 seconds into the video after Zerk mode is on, whatever you accumulated is what you will now start burning to stay in berserk mode, yeah? You start at :30. You use the following skills before :50 Arc Divider at :30 Blood Reckoning, Arc Divider at :31 and :32 Wild Blow at :33 Arc Divider at :36 Decap at :38 Decap at :40 Decap at :43 Arc Divider at :44 Arc Divider at :48 (Note the time lost in berserk mode due to the cooldown hitch, which is what I am getting at here) Blood Reckoning, Arc Divider at :49 Nothing at 50. That's it. You start burning accumulated time now So that's 2,2,2,4,2,1,1,1,2,2,2,2. 24, from completely fresh cd, with alacrity on you, assuming you dont miss anything, assuming you arent interrupted. You keep talking about math but it's not 5 seconds every 24 seconds. it's 4 seconds for the first 20 (on your rotation), after which you now need to deal with entropy from skills currently on cooldown when you start again. Again, assuming literally nothing happens to interrupt you. Quote PLEASE tell me you figured out why this is incorrect. Please. My faith in humanity can't take this hit today. I must be insane.

JTGuevara.9018 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 ???? So...warrior doing damage: bad? (shakes head)...see this is my problem with numbers and benchmarks, they don't tell the whole story. OP, I don't dispute the math. I will dispute the basic premise. WHY is this a problem?...In relation to other classes, this is consistent and in line with the rest of the game. Even if you hypothetically had the perfect or most broken traits, they would still be countered by warrior's limitations. Even with this change to maintaining berzerk mode, warrior still has to stick to melee range to even have a chance to sniff these numbers. Try this with a real encounter and see how far you get. The primary problem with warrior is in its profession mechanics and weapon skills. Not so much traits. I've seen years and years worth of traits scrapped, tweaked, buffed, neutered, experimented, juiced, overtuned, overcooked, fried, deep-fried, grilled, sauted to ensure that They. Did. Not. Amount. To. A. Hill. Of. Beans. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandala.8507 Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Putting the idea you could lose berserk to bed. Here's the current benchmark rotation video: By my count over 92 seconds, just counting the skills I use in my video that extend berserk: 17 Arc Divider 5 Blood Reckoning 6 Wild Blow 31 Decap For a total of 99 seconds of extension to berserk over the 92 seconds. And if you factor in the rage skills demonstrated in this video that you could run while still doing a 43k rotation: 11 Outrage (3 seconds each) 5 Headbutt (2 seconds each) For a grand total of 142 seconds of berserk extension over the 92 second period. Meaning that after he finishes, he would stay in berserk for another 70 seconds without having to press a single other button. And as my math from earlier in the thread points out, for the quickness version you are only changing 1 trait that moves this dps to just above 39k. But most people will realize that even at a berserk extension deficit, it's still better to run fewer rage skills because the dmg phase will be over by the time you run out anyway. As far as quickness: 17 x 3 = 51 31 x 2 = 62 For 113 seconds of quickness generation over a 92 second period. Seems pretty free to me.

Myror.7521 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 @mandala.8507 i rly do think this could be an endless discussion ^^. Is been able to be in Berserk mode the whole time Bad? Or "too good"? Not rly. The only difference will be that your dmg does not hard drop cause you run out off Berserk. Is the "no CD on Heat the Soul" thingy too broken? Well at the very First Look hmm maybe. But at the second look you noticed that you would gain quickness and only quickness to your Team. (At least If you not going to play other stuff like Banners and so on witch would also hard drop your DPS Overall) Not like other classes witch could also stack other stuff (like Stabi extra healing and stuff) aside their Main boon gaining) . I still do think the new quick warrior will not be OP. Cause to do the exact things that other classes could do your dmg will likely be on the same lvl as theirs. If you rly want to be like a condi Specter you need for example to drop out your Signet of might for another defensive Banner. This means a loss of 180 passive Power boost. Or you in and drop instead a rage Skill for it. The dmg will likely be the same but you will drop out the berserk mode pretty fast as a result witch also means a hughe dps loss If the enemy got too long to get killed ^^ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total quickness generated by the new version of heat the soul = 70 seconds for a 56 second fight. 125% quickness uptime with zero boon duration. Lovely. Surely this won't be broken.

A profession that only reliably functions in melee range should perform better in melee than professions that have access to decent ranged weapons. I doubt your golden combination would be all that good. If qBerserker needs someone to babysit it so it can stay in melee 100% of the time and have that partner also provide all the other boons, said partner's damage will probably not be scratching the upper end of the numbers and thus offsetting qBerserker's hypothetical overperformance. I more or less agree, but melee uptime vs range is a whole other can of worms that requires its own discussion. On the subject of support vs dps, it wouldn't be the first time we see a meta form around particular group comps reliant on specific builds.

Quote Surely this won't be a huge buff to power berserker. It is, nobody claimed it wasn't, or people wouldn't care this much. Quote Surely this won't be broken. Will it, though? Once you swap off of blood reaction and drop your damage to 39k (on the bench end), for the reworked Heat the Soul, what -additional- hoops do you need for this? How much concentration do you expect warriors to need to take to maintain 100% uptime on this, given where the damage sits right now on full glass? Keep in mind the quickness is still (minorly) conditional and requires you to hit the boss to pump it (Assuming heat the soul will continue to function that way) . That will work on Cairn, but any boss phase that requires you to move (or ignores bursts for phases/mechanic reasons) nukes your group uptime. Cairn is jusr a bigger golem.
