Pierce vs Reinforced

Testing Player Crafted weapons were as follows

Arcanite Exceptional Rapier (Mainhand Weapon) 16.5 dps (16.0 effective dps) 3.9 Speed 99% quality 0% bonus

Arcanite Exceptional Stiletto (Offhand Weapon) 16.5 dps (16.0 effective dps) 3.3 Speed 99% quality 0% bonus

Determining damage cap

Damage Cap = EDPS * SPD * 3 * (1 + (SPD - 2) * .03) * (1.1 + (0.005 x spec) )

16.0 x 3.9 x 3 x 1.057 x 1 = 198
16.0 x 3.3 x 3 x 1.039 x 1 = 164

Determining base damage range -

EDPS * (your WS/target AF) * (1-absorb) * (1-base resists) * (1-RA resists) * slow weap bonus * SPD * 2h weapon bonus

2h weapon bonus = 1.1 + (0.005 x spec)

SLow Weapon bonus = 1 + ( (spd - 2) x 0.03)

16.0 x (1128 / 569) x 3.9 x 1.057
16.0 x (1128 / 569) x 3.3 x 1.039

16 x 1.9824253075571177504393673110721 x 4.1223 = 130.75442952548330404217926186292
16 x 1.9824253075571177504393673110721 x 3.4287 = 108.75426643233743409490333919156

Variance adjustments due to 51 spec

130.7 x 1.0 = 130.7 adjusted min value
130.7 x 1.41 = 194.1 adjusted max value
108.7 x 1.0 = 108.7 adjusted min value
108.7 x 1.41 = 153.2 adjusted max value

10% Absorption Adjustment

130.7 x 0.90 = 117.6 predicted min value
194.1 x 0.90 = 174.6 predicted max value
108.7 x 0.90 = 97.8 predicted min value
153.2 x 0.90 = 137.8 predicted max value
