It's typical displayed the other way as 251734/167688=1.501, or 150.1% in the same way that 2 is 200% of 1 as shown by 2/1. Another example would be 5 aps / 3.33 aps = 1.5 or 150%.



You claim to be soloing 3-3 squad mode with 6.6k hp and 7.7k pdef fully buffed?

I can't solo 3-3, that hits a bit too hard, also I haven't ran it enough to get used to the bosses. I have about 9.2k hp with sage barb buff and 8k pdef, I can add a buff pill that gives me 9-10k. I can solo half the bosses in 3-2(not steelation, beast or emperor when he's being a ****), and all the bosses in 3-1 and this is w/o a cleric. As you said, you dont mind your HP dipping, on bosses in 3-2 its neccessary for me to do that, but in 3-1 I never let my HP dip below 50% if I don't have to. I stay charmed, but I'd prefer if it didn't tick.

As for earlier comments, most of my amps are on my genie, and are cast during my spark+powerdash casting to maxime dps, I don't need to RDS, to get another spark. I keep auto attacking, while in effiecient, it allows me to get into a groove so that I don't get supprised by random attacks and I prefer to save my RDS for when **** hits the fan.

5.0 equal comparasin would assume both sins have a tome, that would put the sage at 4 aps, not 3.33, and demon at 4.0 if w/o a tome. Also you assumed I have sage WE, i never said I did >.>.

You are right about demon being better for over all in pure damage aspects, that is undeniable, however my point about amping over similarly geared sins still stands. Mainly a 3.33 vs 4.0 comparision in most cases (too lazy to do the math at this piont). Factor in habits of the players themselves and it is very possible for me to pull ahead of most of my demon counter parts, however unlikely if they amp themselves. As for how long I've been playing. I spent 4 years playing barb and have been playing sin for a year. You are right I am very adamant about being sage, but that's bc of all the bs I've endured for my culti choice, and I continue to prove those who doubted me wrong, because that's all I can do. I speak in a very matter of fact way, so forgive me of it seems like I'm launching a personal attack. As for playing how you think a sin should be played, logically it implies that your way of playing is best for all sins, and I stated that was not true (I am very literal in this case), then it would implies demon is best because it works great for you. Maybe I took that the wrong way, but touche Mr.Sakubatou, touche.

167688.2/251734.2=0.6660525

I got a 43.4% difference from those numbers o.o. Did I do something wrong? Can you do one w/o pangu, and another with windsheild for both?

% difference = (final - initial) / initial = (251734.2 - 167688.2) / 167688.2 = 84066/167688.2 = 0.5013830887... ~ 50.1%

The end.

Well, I've played both demon AND sage (had two different sins), I eventually rolled my demon into a sage also, I prefer it both PvP AND PvE, more DPH, and if played well more DPS. Better BP is also an AMAZING bonus in PvE.

Sage also gets the better tidal and focused mind as far as if you KNOW which benefit you want, (though it lacks the flexibility demon has in the respect to being able to use whichever one and get the regular benefit plus a mild version of the other)

Also, the power dash allows for FAR more DPS than demon allows due to 10% extra crit vs the **** immobilize

It also helps that sage rib strike acts as an HP debuff for TT and such

Sage spark damage reduction is also great for flexibility between DPS and Survivability
