Dummy

I suggest creating a dummy, or a special location with a dummy (Sirus dummy for example), where you can check the real DPS hitting dummy. I think that for some builds it would be much simpler to testing real DPS than calculating everything in POB.

What do you think?

How do you think?

How do I think? Using my neural pathways via the transfer of electrical signals.
What do I think? It doesn't fit the game at all.

Dummys are good to practice rotations but thats about it.

That's why PoB config is so complex, with just the tick of a Box, you can review your dps at any given circumstance.

Thank you for not taking my comment seriously. :)

sadly a good idea but some random humor will bury it.

the game cannot display any usefull tooltip

Righteous fire is a joke and we have absolute zero feedback on minion, but for "reasons" people think it is a bad idea.

and the incredible amount of missing Basic Required Quality of Life doesn't fit the game either.

Trade interface = not in game
Tree planner = not in game
some info/wiki = not in game
Item Filter editor = not in game
mail box for messages = not in game
Real tool tip for DPS = not in game

and some of you think this is "normal" ? for a game in beta stage maybe, but the current POE state.


Ho, and this is a GAME, not some underground work of art. Useful always fit. and if it is not, just try harder and make it fit. This is game developing, not some edgy conceptual art thing.

It was fun:)

Back to the topic:
For example i play Coc on two skills. POB does not show me my real DPS. It shows avarege hit each skills and AS. Playing Coc i have to have suitable AS. It cant be to high and to low becouse i will lose casts. To achieve this i have to low my avarege hit. To check to see if change is beneficial i could hitting dummy instead calculate manualy. POB wil not show mi real DPS in my case. There are probably more such builds and anyone who wants could quickly check the changes on the dummy.
Sorry for my English. I don't use it on a daily basis. I hope the idea is understandable.

Pointless when there are plenty of tools for figuring out dps
(like POB etc)

As well as doing actual checks in game by fighting specific bosses, looking up their health and resist, timing yourself, and figuring out how much you do

If you really cared to find out what ur dps is, you could easily do it/find out

A dummy is for dummies

For people who cant do math or are too lazy to spend any amount of time to get information they want for the game

POE is not a hand holding game

I play a game to kill monsters, not solve math formulas.Someone wants to make life more difficult this is his choice. There is no obligation to use a dummy but it could appear as an option. As i said, POB will no show me my real dps in my case.

Here are few problem with your point.
The tool tip in-game is calculating a lot of buff and debuff, yet still manages to be innaccurate for many skills and supports.

Having a dummy would help check the general damage and mechanics by ourselves instead of spending hours on a third party website. Basically spending time in-game instead of outside the game.

I don't see how having a Partice Dummy would be bad. Its not like it destroy game economy, trivialize gameplay or makes anything horrible.
Unless there is some hidden gameplay mechanic that I'm missing.
