Test your damage?

[OdinAZ]

Is there a good in game way to test how much damage you are doing?  I am looking at a respec, but I am getting conflicting answers on how much damage certain powers are doing?

 

  Or if not ingame, is there a reliable online source?

In-game:  There are test dummies in the Vanguard base and I believe you can get a temp power to summon them.  People also use Pylons to test DPS, or the Trapdoor test.  You can just fight random enemies and look at the combat tab, though lots of information gets dumped there.

The best source for accurate power information is City of Data https://cod.uberguy.net/html/index.html

 

Mids Reborn allows you to lay out your build and see the effect of enhancements on your powers, but sometimes has inaccuracies  https://midsreborn.com/

This would, of course, be a wonderful addition to base resources. I am not sure why it's not available, but assume it's another database/resource multiplication hurdle.

You can lob the logs through my parser http://www.carnifax.org/ and see how much damage your powers do along with other stats. Look in the Tools section of the forum, there's more details on City of Data and my parser in there.

 

Good thing to do solo and on things like after TFs.

 

COD is great for getting the numbers, and mids will give you damage per animation time graphs which I find really handy.

The base damage is the same, but Fire gets the extra DoT while Dark gets the debuff.

18.7685 points of Fire damage (all affected targets) every 1.0s for 8.1s (99% chance) after 0.5s

-35% ToHit (all affected targets) for 20s

since it did not total the DoT I misread it, thanks
