My question now I guess is: what difference do tiers and pills and amping and high armour meaning no healing time do to dps? Is is about 50% on damage at tier 10, plus amping, plus whatever from whatever pills are best? Is it about a doubling? Is it true for all levels or which way does the curve go?
Thanks
Well this differs a bit depending on what weapon your using and what cat you´re in etc (because of mob hp)
Lets look at cat3 on 2 "top contenders" with base dps just shy of 60.
Adjusted Maddox IV (57.5 dps) and ewe ep-41 military adjusted (58.1 dps)
With best possible amp(beast / oc204) (wihtout overamping) and imp ares(fairly common and affordable ring)
Adjusted Maddox IV: 62,09 dps. 197,8 Zombies killed per hour in cat3.
Ewe ep-41 military Adjusted: 64,48 dps 205.4 Zombies killed per hour in cat3.
With tier 10.
Adjusted Maddox IV: 105,46 dps 335.97 Zombies killed per hour in cat3 (~69% more zombies killed than base)
Ewe ep-41 military: 104,51 dps 332,95 Zombies killed per hour in cat3 (~62% more zombies killed than base)
T10 + 30% reload, 50% crit dmg , 5% crit.
Adjusted Maddox IV: 128,05 dps 407,94 Zombies killed per hour in cat3 (~106% more zombies killed than base)
Ewe ep-41 military: 136,72 dps 435,55 Zombies killed per hour in cat3 (~112% more zombies killed than base)
Since the base setup kills faster than the limit for spawning kal-rahm at 30 mins there´s not as much difference as it might have been if it had meant that you´d get one extra kill.
Since there are no statistics at all provided for point gains other than (pretty much useless data) the scores in cat 3 atm, lets just assume that the average is 1 point per zombie (just to get some perspective on things.)
with base setup:
Adjusted Maddox IV: 2967 kills in 15 hours + 29 kal-rahms = 10217 points.
Ewe ep-41 military Adjusted: 3081 kills in 15 hours + 29 kal-rahms = 10331 points
T10 setup
Adjusted Maddox IV: 5039 kills in 15 hours + 29 kal-rahms = 12,289 points(~20% increase)
Ewe ep-41 military Adjusted: 4994 kills in 15 hours + 29 kal-rahms = 12244 points (~18,5% increase)
T10+buffs
Adjusted Maddox IV: 6119 kills in 15 hours + 29 kal-rahms = 13369 points(~31% increase)
Ewe ep-41 military Adjusted: 6533 kills in 15 hours + 29 kal-rahms = 13783 points (~33% increase)
