[General] weird Damage per second

accdg to some unitweapons.slk
unit h02A
DMG: 78000
Cooldown: 0.05

unit h027
DMG: 550000
Cooldown: 0.5

then it is obvious that h02A is stronger than h027 in DPS
but when i tried it. used both to attack 2 structures with same hp and armor, h027 is stronger

anyone can tell me why?

 

[baassee]

What, count the 0s in h027

 

[Mr_Bean]

Hmm, I agree - it is strange.

I have done the following calculations:

h02A: Damage per second: 1 560 000
h027: Damage per second: 1 100 000

 

[baassee]

Oh seems that I missed a 0 in the cooldown.

It can be attacktype or armortype and armor amount and armorreduction percentage.

 

[kevs926]

both are chaos damage and they both hitting the same kind of unit

 

[baassee]

Count the total damage made in 1 second including the % of armorreduction.

 

[Ceday]

That is probably because of other factors, Animation times, agility, attack speed bonuses...

It's just the limit of the editor and of war3. You can't have more attacks per second than 10/15.

I tried it too.
unit h02A should hit the target 20x in 1 sec.

unit h027 should hit the target 2x in 1 sec.

So:
Fast attack - 78000 * 20 = 1560000
Slow attack - 550000 * 2 = 1100000

Fast dmg > slow dmg

I tried with 0.05 at cooldown.
The fast Unit needed 3 secs longer to kill the unit (1million hp 100 def (86%reduction)).
Then i added an item ability with 50% faster attackspeed to the fast Unit.

And then both units (fast and slow) killed the unit at the same time. (Maybe not 100% since i used integer, but roughly).

So if you enter 0.05 cooldown - its not exactly 0.05.

(I play often Vamp Speed and im kinda good, my acc is proTec.X.RaZZor at Europe)

You lot seem to be forgetting that the maximum a unit can attack without attack speed modifiers is 10 times per second. The map maker must have been really stupid not to know that...

unit h02A
DMG: 78000
Cooldown: 0.1

unit h027
DMG: 550000
Cooldown: 0.5

You do the maths...

Anyway, attack speed can boost this 0.1 attack rate. The fastest I recorded (max attack rate with +400% faster attack (max)) is 45-46 attacks per second (theretical is 50 this means that there is some other limit). Otherwise the fastest unmodified attack rate for units is 10 attacks per second

ok thanks for clearing that up. 0.1s BAT limit would explain everything
