DPS Calculator
Calculate damage per second for weapons or spells
About this calculator
A DPS (Damage Per Second) calculator helps gamers, game developers, and RPG enthusiasts determine the effective damage output of weapons, spells, or abilities over time. This tool is essential for comparing different equipment options, optimizing character builds, and making strategic decisions in games. By calculating true DPS rather than just base damage, players can identify which weapons or spells offer the best performance in combat scenarios, taking into account factors like attack speed, cooldowns, and damage values.
How to use
Enter your weapon or spell's base damage value, then input the attack speed, cast time, or cooldown duration. The calculator will automatically compute your damage per second output. You can compare multiple weapons or spells by calculating their respective DPS values to determine which option provides superior damage output.
Frequently asked questions
What factors affect DPS calculations?
DPS is influenced by base damage, attack speed, critical hit chance, critical damage multipliers, cooldowns, and any damage bonuses from equipment or buffs.
Should I always choose the highest DPS weapon?
Not always. Consider other factors like range, accuracy, special effects, mana costs, and your playstyle when selecting weapons or spells.
How do I calculate DPS for spells with cooldowns?
Divide the spell's total damage by the sum of cast time plus cooldown time to get the true DPS value.
