About this converter
Dragon Age Inquisition lists DPS for each weapon in the stats, before abilities, upgrades and masterworks. Iron Sword at 45 opens the table. Iron Dagger at 50, Iron Bow at 55, Apprentice Staff at 60, Steel Sword at 80 hold early ranks. Dwarven Bow at 110, Dwarven Sword at 120, Orlesian Sword at 150, Staff of Parthalan at 180, Dragon Dagger at 185, Dragon Bow at 190, Dragon Sword at 200 climb mid late tiers. Masterwork Sword at 230 tops the table at over five times iron. All rows pin base DPS.
How to use it
Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first weapon, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total damage. Try Masterwork Sword against Iron Sword.
Abilities, upgrades and masterwork materials raise DPS past base a lot and stay out of rows. Swing rate is baked into DPS figures, unlike per hit tables. Tier 4 schematics share tier values and only named rows appear. Multiplayer gear uses separate values and stays out.
