Maplelegends DPM Comparison Guide

When will this be updated for the DK changes?

 

A few disclaimers so this can be used to it's full potential to all the viewers.
1. This is a theoretical model of DPM meaning that the values for certain classes are above what can be realistically achieved.
2. Hero: Doesn't currently include Panic.
3. Buccs: The BC Bucc section means "Barrel Cancel" The perfect usage of this forbidden technique needs precise frame perfect inputs to achieve the damage that is being shown here (Meaning this outcome is higher than what a human can achieve in practice)
4. Shads: Similar issue with buccs, perfectly getting the dash nate timing without missing a single one is very unlikely while adding the fact that a boss needs to be wide enough otherwise you'd get less casts (due to repositioning) than the theoretical number given here at which point using nate only is better (Like in most bosses). TLDR: Nate dash is mostly niche since it can only be used in a handful of scenarios.

 

I was going to say that it didn't seem like panic usage was being factored in for hero, which represents a whopping theoretical 10% dpm boost. Granted, the benefit of its usage may be rather mitigated in certain bossing scenarios but these are all theoretical numbers anyways and so not factoring panic seems somewhat misleading and deflating of hero potential when perfect play is being assumed for other classes.

 

barrel cancelling is actually pretty easy

 

I never said it was hard, I said timing it perfectly is very unlikely which means that the number a human can achieve is lower than the one shown here. You'd have to perfectly hit that frame input consistently which is humanly impossible. I only say this because comparing to a class like NL where you hold down 1 key, theoretical damage is fairly easy to reproduce.

 

I don't think that's true. You can definitely input barrel cancel commands within a several frame window afaik? The barrel break animation lasts several frames for instance meaning you can just hold the attack afterwards and release during the attack animation at no frame loss.

press attack as barrel lands -> release attack and press ds before break animation ends -> release ds and press barrage+barrel macro

someone can correct me if i'm wrong though

 

Nice work! However it is odd that BM has less dpm with SE vs No Buff. Same for MM.

 

I've never tried myself so I could be wrong. That was just my understanding from reading the barrel guide. If that's the case then definitely my disclaimer isn't as important as the other 2.

 

I would recommend trying it then.

 

I can't really. I'd need to have a bucc with the skills first. Someday perhaps.

 

The "No buffs part" Just means no external buffs. All these numbers are compared to a baseline in this case 1h hero. It seems that BM is "stronger" but that's simply because some of the other classes in that category are more buff reliant as BM themselves have themselves the only buff they need.

 

thanks for the clarification, that make sense. so SI literally has no time cast for self buff in comparison vs SE.
