Thread: Figuring DPS Looking for Pistol Damage modifier

I have the formula to figure DPS, but I was wondering what the Damage Modifier was for pistols. I've seen people believe the number to be 1.5 and that this number was constant on all weapons.

My only question is whether this is true or not, for example I know the damage modifier for 1-hand weapons is 1.86 and so I pose the question.


What is our true damage modifier?

How about just using the calculator?

Because at the bottom of that page it says "Damage per second is for relative comparisons, and is shown prior to 1.5x output bonus, armor calculations, PvP reductions, etc."

So that doesn't answer his question.

I think for Pistols it is 1.5, at least I've never heard anybody prove it was something else.

i really think he meant the average modifier that all weapons get when using the default attack...... for most (all, i though) it is 1.5x damage modifier


as for a response to your question, i wish i knew; i thought all were 1.5 /shrug

Yeah, I've used the calculator before and I'm just not happy typing in a bunch of numbers, so I created a spreadsheet to I could see all of my weapons for a better idea on variation.


Randonb could you possibly answer this question, or prehaps a Red Named individual?

There is a 1.5 damage modifier for the default attack, meaning you do 50% more damage than the weapon description says. The only thing I've ever heard is 1.5X for all attacks. I don't know where you heard that it was different for different weapons, and I have no idea where you came up with 1.86.
