Every now and then I get the urge to start a project just to keep myself busy. My latest venture involves building a database for all known weapons in EverQuest and a proper interface for sorting through them. One of the things I'd like to be able to sort by (the major one, actually) would be a "Projected DPS" - PDPS if you will. Some sort of formula that, given class, level, attack and weapon, would calculate an approximation of that weapon's DPS.
Now I have no problem putting the database/interface together; what I need help with is the actual formula used to calculate the PDPS. I was hoping someone who knows more about that part of EQ could give me some pointers. Cheers!
