    How much power do you have vs how much will you have? What rotation? What skills, what feats, what class features? All this comes into play. The one person I know who has a spreadsheet that can answer this question is not allowed to post on the forum, but I'll ask him nicely and maybe he'll put it on twitch.

    from what ive been noting is he who sings first wins. or maybe its who finishes off the mobs (like stealing peoples kills in pvp)

    I mean, I have seen someone said something like "every 100 Power grants +1% dps". I'm not sure if the number is correct because I can't find the thread now.

    Assuming not other factors (ie class related)

    ((Base + (Power/25)) / Base) -1 = %Dmg increase from Power

    Base = base weapon damage

    Thank you.

    Currently my wizard uses Ancient Court Magister's Orb (671-820 weapon damage) and has 3400 Power. I just calculated, and found that adding 100 Power increases nearly no dps.

    Your welcome.

    Have you calculated what 100 points of your other options does?

    I'm not sure the used formula is good but your math are wrong as you need to add "x100" to convert the result into percent.

    Well my simplistic test of adding and removing 300 power shows that 300 power adds about .85%
