steam mechanicus - calculations, information

Hi there

I've recently been doing some testing/calculations on my new steam mechanicus, especially on turret's mechanics.
Here is what I've found out, it might be interesting/useful for some of you:

mechanical turret:
Duration: 10 seconds
Maximum number of shots: 16
Damage calculation formula:
((min dmg+max dmg)/2)*turret-skill-dmg*attack-speed*monster-av= dmg output ingame

turret-skill dmg: 42,449%

Example:

Char lvl: 32
Char base dmg: 228-262
mechanical turret skill dmg: 42,449%
Attack speed: 1,25
Moblvl: 32, --> 50% av

--> ((228+262)/2)*0,42449*1,25*0,5=65,00003125=~65 turret dmg per shot

automatic turret:
Duration: 10 seconds
Maximum number of shots: 28
Damage calculation formula:
((min dmg+max dmg)/2)*turret-skill-dmg*attack-speed*monster-av= dmg output ingame

turret skill dmg: 37,551%

Example:

Char lvl: 32
Char base dmg: 228-262
mechanical turret skill dmg: 37,551%
Attack speed: 1,25
Moblvl: 32, --> 50% av

--> ((228+262)/2)*0,37551*1,25*0,5=57,49=~57 turret dmg per shot


Have fun.

 

I used to do the auto turret, but now almost exclusively use mech turret with the cooldown reducer talent; the mech turret compensates for moving targets and the cooldown allows me to spam the higher damage area attacks with cooldowns

 

I use 1 of each... and i slap en om after getting the 5 times stacking speed buff thus upping the dmg of the turrents. the stationary turrent works great with lots of mobs around making dmg to multiple mobs instead of just 1

 

I just miss the old days when you were able to cast that wall skill (has been replaced with steam catalysator). synergized perfectly with auto turret^^
