Easy to Access Skill Damage Numbers

Feedback and Suggestions

As the title suggests, the skills need to have better ways to show the real damage per second numbers.

E.g. - Paladin - Javelin with Holy Trail trait.

Hovering over the skill in the hotbar, it says it does around 400 dps, but going over the trait, it does over 2k dps. If I want to change gear and see how it will impact that damage, I wouldn’t care about the javelin dps but the trait’s, which would require me to go to the skill menu, hover over Holy Trail and press ALT.

Same with Falconer - Dive Bomb, Aerial Assault, Smoke Bomb and Falconry show no actual damage numbers.

My suggestion would be to have a 5th tab in the character screen showing the name of the specialized skill, and underneath it, any unlocked major trait that contributes to the damage of the skill.

So for example, Aerial Assault with Twilight strike trait would have the damage it shows if I where to hover over that trait and press ALT.

As an aside, if this has been addressed by a developer in another forum, kindly link it in the comments so I can check it out. Thanks

A quick transcript from Mike’s last Dev Stream answering to someone asking about DPS comparing on the tooltip:

“We don’t have any intention for very accurate DPS testing… The tooltip DPS, the primary design for that is to give, uhm, an approximate relative increase for items and things like that, so you can tell “If I equip this sword, do numbers go up?” but […] We’re not intentionally making a system where you can, uh, very accurately compare DPS”

And they’re also aware of the lack of numbers when it comes to minions. At the time stamp re minions. Another related comment at around 5 minutes.

There’s been progress, though! Before 1.0, it didn’t say “Estimated”. So there’s that. :+1:
