Josh's Arcanis math spreadsheet

so if folks dont mind taking a look at this and tell me if they see any errors, I'm going to keep working on this sheet for other techniques if people are interested

So I looked this over. Your top bank of numbers matches my spreadsheet exactly assuming 100% Hit Chance, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say we're both correct.

I'm not sure quite what you're trying to show in the bottom bank for Spinning Strikes.

So it looks like you're trying to compute average damage from Spinning Strikes.

If so, I see a few things that need to be looked at:

1) You're computing average damage for the "Speed" portion but not the "Recovery". If you wait until Recovery is done (easiest calculation), then you need to divide your damage by Speed + Recovery and you get your average damage for repeating Spinning Strikes over and over. If you don't wait for Recovery, then your next attack will be most likely a basic attack, and you'd want to compute the damage for that with its speed. This would give you average damage for Spinning Strikes + Basic over and over.

2) Spinning Strikes also adds Passive Quickness + 1 to the offhand attack, which I don't see added in for your sheet.

added an arbitrary passive quickness ( 4 +1 )
