are ancient calculators reliable?

[GERONIMO]

ive been using this: https://hsoptimizer.github.io/ancient/

but i dont know if i should trust it. im using a mostly idle build, but it seems to value morgulis over every other ancient. my morgulis is lvl 80000, compared to my soloman and siyalatas at 260 and 274.

i know levling morguis is cheap, but it seems to be low on every tier list ive seen. it seems like a small boost of DPS at the expense of not having HS available to potentially more efficient ancients? so should i trust this calculator? and does anybody have a better one? thanks

This one calculator has a wrong formula for clicking ancients. Instead of Argaiv/Siya *0.5 it uses the *1. This is a wrong value in any way, as your DPS and clicking damage will decrease if you level click ancients like Fragsworth a bit further than 0.5 of Siyalatas level.

I would recommend to use the rules of thumb instead of optimizers. This way you are sure to not invest HS wrongly.

If you can handle excel, openoffice calc or a similar spreadsheet program I suggest you either look for a download of a spreadsheet with all the formulas smashed in or make one yourself using either the rule of thumb formulas or the true formulas (minor differences that hardly matter) . It's really nice having all the ancient leveling, immortal reward and mercenary revive cost formulas on one spreadsheet.
