Damage calc | Refreshing records tab

[Flucas]

Any way to refresh the character records tab? Ive been somewhat annoyed being unable to effectively calculate dps.

 

Tia!

What do you mean refresh? It’s supposed to change in real time when you change your equipment.

No I'm talking about the "records" tab in the character sheet. It states "total damage done" which is pointless because you don't get all companions at the same time, switch gear over time, etc.

 

If there was a way to reset all damage done to 0, you could actually USE that sheet. As it is now it's very pointless - unless you start the game with your complete party in end game gear...

 

I'm thinking there might be some game file where the numbers are stored, if only I could reset the numbers there...

 

But I'm also open to any other tools or mods that help me calculate DPS.

Dps = damage per second.

 

You take the damage that is displayed in the char sheet, you take the attack time and recovery time and calculate your dps:

 

40-50 dmg (average 45), 0.5 sec attack time and 4 sec recovery time. That's 45/4.5 = 10 dps.

 

Nobel prize, here I come!

Tedious lol, my druids dmg is from spells only.

Same concept. You look up the spell damage, casting time and recovery.

 

I guess it would be a rel. easy mod to display the dps numbers in the ability description or so.

There's far to be many variables to calc the damage of those aoe dot spells. Also- there's already a feature; the character record sheet.

 

It just needs a way to reset.

Your actual general dps with an ability or weapon per attack roll is fairly easy to calculate.

 

A second value below the overall damage done that you could reset would be really nice as well. Like in your car where the total miles will be another display than the ones you can reset. I guess this is also easy to mod. I like (small, unintrusive) UI mods. They are the only ones I use.

DPS means nothing because you can't calculate universal outcome of your attacks (miss, graze, hit, crit) or armor penetration modifires.

Well, you have accumulated damage but ALSO "time spent in combat", IIRC. So if you note these two variables before your next fight, you should be able to calculate the dps for each char once the fight is over.

Yeah i've done it a few times but it's very time consuming

 

Anyway in the meantime I've posted this in the general discussion forum as a request to Obsidian: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/107450-request-character-sheet-damage-done-reset/.
