This is just pure damage, which means it might not be doable in a real fight. For example, Rackam has to jump and get really close to the boss to do damage, but he has Glass Cannon, so you could get dizzy and lose DPS for several seconds.

Eugen has Glass Cannon, but he doesn't need to be super close to the boss. But if the map is open, it can be troublesome being in range 100% of the time.

So there are a few nuances to consider. The better test would be for people to use the DPS parser available on Nexus mod to get numbers during real fights.

Alternatively, if you know some basics of coding and want to run from the source code directly you can run this with Python: https://github.com/sjieh/scuffed-gbfr-parser

Well, yeah . We're all already aware of that as you'll see if you read the thread you're posting in. In your defense it is seven pages long though.

Beyond pure curiosity, a stationary and non-reactive target allows characters to be tested in a controlled and repeatable environment without any boss RNG. This is useful for a number of things.

For example, it's a very good indication of their sustained dps vs a downed or immobilized enemy ⁽ʷᶦᵗʰ ᵃ ᶠᵉʷ ᵉˣᶜᵉᵖᵗᶦᵒⁿˢ⁾.

I'm aware, i'm the one that started the Katalina discourse after all.

I'm stating it because some people seem to think that Sir Barrold DPS reflects actual character DPS, which, contrary to what you stated, some people don't realize isn't true.

I suppose that's fair. I probably should've phrased that as "I would hope most of us are already aware".

Don't get me wrong, I'm not disagreeing, Katarina isn't too good with how Ares works right now, but you downplaying her a bit too much.

Originally posted by CHAO$$$:

You press glaciate. You now dont have Ares and you crowd control yourself for the full duration of the glaciate.

So does Lancelot, It works exactly the same. He has to continue casting it to extend the freeze duration.
You won't lose Ares during the duration, but will ahve to use another skill right after to get back into her rotation.

I'm starting to understand why people have issues using katalina. People undervalue azure sword far too much since the description of it is off. I've never once had any problem with katalina regardless of 2 ice skeletons or Gallanza who boast the high CC in the game. If it's easy to play your characters there, everything else is child's play. As far as I'm concerned katalina is a pick between iframe or freeze and more often than not freeze is vastly superior with phase skipping CC and further bolstering ares uptime. Anyone who says take both at once are shooting themselves in the foot when you want double projectiles, azure sword, and usually dash since the stun that doesn't even do as much as a tank's with longer CD than the dash.

Fwiw several of my best runs of the harder fights have been with lower tier characters.

The smoothest one i've had so far for proto was Caglistro (me) Sigfreid Lancelot (that's dual ice swords man right?) and Ferry. Between ferrys stuns, glaciate, and the properly staggered bursts and good dodging, we took the boss from 60% to 0 without it ever getting to move.

I'm very confident even the 'worst' dps characters have no trouble actually completing stuff.

(also the medium range/long range characters dominating 'real fight dps' charts is remarkbaly unsurprising. Trade raw power for high uptime.)
