How many strikes hit? Math / DPR Question!


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hi math question. I’m just guessing ATM
Ave AC for CR is CR +14. So a CR 20 is around 34.

If I’ve got a level 20 TWF (Two Weapon Warrior Varient) with GTWF and Attack Bonuses of

1.Full attack (unbuffed) 34/34/29/29/24/24/19
2.Hasted= 35/35/35/30/30/25/25/20
3.Hasted/Gangup (flanking)37/37/37/32/32/27/27/22
4.Hasted using Combat Strike (3.5 feat granting +5 to hit and damage for one round per encounter) 40/40/40/35/35/30/30/25

Then I’m looking at average 5 (example 1),
6 (example 2),
7 (example 3),
and 7 (55% chance of 8, example 4) hits respectively yes?

Also assume the primary hand is a keen Longsword and the offhand is a keen handaxe. What’s the likely hood of a Crit per full attack in each given situation?

What is the average DPR in each scenario if the Keen Longsword is worth 40 damage per strike and the Keen handaxe worth 37?
For example in scenario 4 I make the ave DPR equal to around 4.5 hits with the primary (1st,2nd, 3rd are auto, 4th is 80%, 5th is 60% chance) for ave 180 (+5 per hit for Combat strike bonus damage) and 2.8 hits with the Offhand (1st,2nd are auto 3rd is 80%) for ave 104 (+5 per hit for Combat strike bonus damage)
Add TWR for 17damage. Then scenario 4 should be ave DPR of 301 (+36.5 for the +5 to damage on the 7.3 hits) TOTALS 336.5 DPR in scenario 4. That’s not allowing for crits-I’d think for 7.3 connecting hits at least one would be a crit?

I’m just going off averages but could some math guru’s check each scenario please?

Thanks.

The AC is 36 so you were close. If you are using the twf variant it is better to use a long sword in both hands since you can treat a medium sized weapon as a light weapon in the off hand. It also stacks with the fact that you only have to spec in one weapon. If this is concept thing then disregard, and I will do the numbers for you.

What is combat strike?


Thanks dude,

The build uses High Sword, Low Axe (a weapon style feat from CW) that I took at first level (thanks to 3.5 flaws rule)

Basically throws a free trip on every opponent I full attack. Awesome Battle Control. Requires I weild a longsword and handaxe to work. Hence not using 2 longswords.

Here's the damage breakdown per hit:
Damage Primary= +5, Shock, holy, keen, ghost touch longsword
D8+ 5(wpn enhance) +5(str) +3(belt of perfection) +4(weapon specialisation, melee weapon mastery) +4(Twin Blades)+1d6 (shock) +2d6(holy)+ 12(PA)= ave 40 on full attack, 46 if evil (Damage = 36 on standard action)

Damage Secondary= Damage Primary= +5, Frost, holy, keen, ghost touch Hand axe
D6+ 5(wpn enhance) +5(str) +3(belt of perfection) +2(melee weapon mastery) +4(Twin Blades)+1d6 (frost) +2d6(holy)+ 12(PA)= ave 37 or 43 if evil (Damage = 33 on standard action)

Combat Strike is a feat in PHB2.
It is part of the Combat Form feat tree.

Basically Combat Form grants a zen like state- you get +2 to will for 10rds +number of combat form feats.

Combat Stability grants +4 to your CMD while using combat form(+8 if you have 3 combat form feats)

Combat Vigor grants fast healing 2 while your combat form lasts (fast heal 4 if you have 3 combat form feats)

Combat Awareness let you know the HP total of any opponent/ally adjacent to you

Combat Strike lets you end your combat Form. Doing so grants you +1 to attack and damage for every combat form feat you have (all up I have 5)for 1 round. Awesome benefit for giving up your combat form.
I think of it as a 'FINISH HIM!' button

Cheers.
