Comparing Weapons.

[RoxxasTheDemonslayer]

tried to compare some Rapiers to see if the new ones i found are better then my old ones.

...aand theres no stat goes up/down thing here. or if there is i havnt found it yet.

then i realzied i have to wait till i lvl up anyway cause of the lvl of the gems...

...
is there a quick way to compare new stuff to what your currenly using?

[Drake]

Not by itself. You'll need either poetrademacro to have a summary of the dps of the weapon, and then compare both or use path of building and simulate both weapons.

[RoxxasTheDemonslayer]

so using a mod or manually huh? nuts.

[Drake]

It's not like it's easy to make a comparison between weapons, especially since those values won't translate the same dependign on skills and support used.
You can very well have a weapon that does overall more damage than another but the resulting dps would be lesser because the build used synergizes better with the individual values of the would be lesser weapon.

and thats my problem.
this one X regular damage, Y lighting
that one does fire, other one does lighting and fire... its such a pain.

...
guessing i cant transfer quality either then? (from old to new) i dont want to have to burn though a bunch of weapon/armor scaps ..

Most reliable way is to use Path of Building.

Easiest way is to use poetrademacro.

Steps for trademacro :

Download Autohotkey. Download latest poetrademacro (just google these keywords). Run trademacro. Go ingame and hover mouse cursor over the item and press crtl+c . Wait a second, and a small pop up will show the wep's data, including overall dps , phys dps, and ele dps seperately.

Even easier: Just learn what is good and what not.

For SSF or just none-trading:
Armour: Life, resistances, regen,etc. - everything that helps you stay alive.

Waepons is a little bit trickier, since you'll face enemy's that have certain res against elements.

Most of the time you wanna stay alive thought, since you can't dish out dmg when you're dead, so Life and capping Resis is a good start to determine wether stuff is better than your old ones.

SSF?

(i play a bunch of diff MMO's hard to keep track of all the diff abvs and such.)

.. in other words basic gameplay then.

Well, some would say so, but Trade play's a big role in the game unlike in other games like Grim Dawn or D3(does it still have some kind of Player-Based market?).

Usually most player's just farm currency in one char, then buy all the good stuff they want, create a new one and "play" the games how they like, otherwise you'll have to ednure endless Hours of farming. Althought the current "Race"(temp. event that combines a lot of Gameplay mechanics that had been added) increases the Loot that you can find dramatically, wich is nice.

Also the matter of fact you have to install a Loot-Filter(and i know i'll probably trigger a lot of Peps by saying this) in order to sift through all the Sh!t and worthless junk the Enemy's drop, should speak for itself. I think i've found more and much better loot since the start of the Race than i had found during the actual league itself(wich i played nearly from the beginning to the end).

Overall it's a free-to-play title, so not that big of a deal.

most of the trade ive come across is for super high lvl stuff.. which i cant use. Plus the no-cash bartey sytem.. makes it consusing.

that said, yes i did pass down some stuff to new charater i made, which made things a lot easier.

hover over the weapon and then CTRL+C to copy its stats.

interesing... but i'd need like four tabs of that open at once to be abcle to compare stuff.

[Drake]

Or just use poetrademacro, does the same but with an overlay so you don't have to alt tab.

Buty seriously, that becomes a topic when you're lv 70-80+. Before that the choice should be easy. It's not like you need to min max your dps. Just having a solid mod base, usually through craft recipe or getting a cheap leveling unique through trade (having a good leveling unique can carry you from 10-20 to lv 75).

And past lv 75 you should use path of building anyway to calculate everything, because you're likely to miss something otherwise, there are just too much variables.

some of my low lvl stuff is good, unqiues included.. other stuff not so much.

mostly due to changes to the game here and there, but yeah some of my stuff is just weak cause I havnt been able to find anything decent to replace it with.

some stuf is easy to manully comare.. other stuff not so much.

is there a way to Sythspehere stuff? i want to take the +6 on my old weapon and put it on my new one.
