Have you ever wondered the classic question- "Which is better? Club or sword?" and nobody had a conclusive answer? Well you've come to the right place, because i have answers! Which one has higher DPS? - The player attacks once every 0.433 or 0.466 seconds (13-14 server ticks), meaning 2.33 times a second. I'll use 0.433 for keeping things managable. (Thanks to Guille for discovering this) Dark Sword DPS: 68 damage, 2.33 times a second, meaning 158 DPS. Thulecite Club DPS: (without tentacles) 59.5 damage, 2.33 times a second, meaning 138.635 DPS . - Note that the above statement assumes no tentacles 20% of the time, the Thulecite Club will summon a tentacle, and assuming 1 in 5 hits will always spawn one, this means that there will be a new shadow tentacle every 2.15 seconds there will be a shadow tentacle, meaning the tentacles give an extra 15.81 DPS per hit, or 31.62 DPS for both, increasing the Thulecite Club's damage to 154.445 or 170.255 DPS, depending on how many times the tentacles hit. - Please note that this assumes "perfect" rng, and Lady Luck and/or Rngesus may not be on your side. - In addition, this assume every tentacle hits at least once for dps with tentacles. But what about cost? Thulecite Club total damage:* {[59.5x200]+([200/5]x68)} aka 14,620 damage Dark Sword total damage: {68x100} aka 6,800 damage considering the fact the club takes 3 living logs, this means that you can instead use 3 living logs to make 3 swords, for 20,400 damage, 5,780 damage more than a thulecite club, meaning the damage to living log ratio is better for swords. however considering the fact the sword takes 5 nightmare fuel, and the club 4, this means the fuel to damage ratio for the club is 25% better than a club, and 1/4 of a club is 3655, while 1/5 of a sword is 1360. This means that if you're low on logs, make a sword. Is you're low on fuel, make a club. *this assumes you get a tentacle every 5 hits (20%) and it hits 2 times for 68 damage Conclusion: - Thulcite Club has higher DPS if the tentacles hit, and Dark Sword is higher if they don't - Thulecite Club is better in terms of nightmare fuel cost, but Dark Sword is better in terms of Living Logs - Thulecite Club gives 10% speed, so you could possibly do 10% more damage, if you kite. - Niether is really "Best", but thulecite club is good for both tanking and kiting. And no, the tentacles are not bugged. This is also my first forum post so that's cool I guess.
