armsman

An interactive DPS calculator for the Pathfinder system written in C++ and QT Creator 2.6.2 Written by Russell Champoux in February 2013

Purpose:

• I initially wrote this to be able to figure out whether Vital Strike or Deadly Stroke was able to output a higher damage per second under several situations
• Things evolved from there to support a whole lot more

To run:

• Compile this yourself using QT Creator
• Ok, I may upload some compiled binaries later
• I haven't yet figured out how to staticly link libraries in QT so it'll look kinda ugly... and large

Current Functionality:

• Calculate the expected damage of 1H/2H melee attacks or ranged attacks based on weapon and attack type
• Supports many feats that increase damage, hit bonus, crit range, and crit confirm bonus
• Finally answers "Which is better for me: vital strike or deadly stroke?"

To do:

• Finish support for Manyshot and Rapidshot
• Add Paladin specific feats/abilities
• Add Rogue specific feats/abilities
• Add Monk specific feats/abilities
• Add Ranger specific feats/abilities
• Add Two Weapon Fighting
• Improve "warning" panel
