What am I missing?
Tralian Hammer
Basic 6 = 15/6 = 2.5 dpt
Mighty Swing 7(3) = 20/10 = 2 dpt /// Mighty Swing + basic attack = 20+15/13 = 2.69 dpt
Rapid Mighty Swing 6(5) = 17/11 = 1.54 dpt /// Rapid Mighty Swing + basic attack = 17+15/12 = 2.66 dptThis seems to show adding in rapid strike Decreases dpt.

Rapid Strike does produce a slight decrease in dpt for slower weapons and a slight increase in dpt for quick weapons. It’s not a huge swing in either case. I’ve never been a fan of Rapid Strike but I had never ran the numbers before – it’s interesting to see it actually helps fast weapons more than slow (but not by much).
June 10, 2015 at 4:38 am #268352AnonymousInactiveIts the change in recovery time that kicks it down. For the slow weapons, you only need one swing to bleed the recovery; for the fast weapons, there is recovery left over before you can get rid of it (necessitating movement or a second basic swing).
That’s why the more ‘interesting’ tricks and manoeuvres look better, as there are better secondary effect/more damage/more targets for similiar recovery times.
I’ve looked at Quicken Manoeuvre (ta) a few times (as it is ‘cheaper’ on the recovery), but all my current planned manoeuvers are speed +1 base and won’t benefit from taking it.
The numbers may change significantly once extra damage stacks up (Forward Stance, runes, Ally etc). Also Wound capability. That -3 damage drops the chance of a wound a long way down the curve.
