Eth cranium has less damage and thorn strike does not use durability.

Here's the math if you are interested;

Giant axe base (eth)
124-151
Added dmg from

Executioner's Justice

with sockets;
380% ed (6 xis)
150-250 flat

Total = 745 min - 974 max (average damage = 859)

Great Maul (eth)
114-133
Added dmg from

The Cranium Basher

with sockets;
380% ed (6 xis)
500 flat max

Total = 547 min - 1138 max (average damage = 842)

just for funsies from that long conversation in discord the other day:

stop using the term DPS. you're not using it correctly because cranium basher also has procs that boost your DPS significantly due to more damage being applied in a wider range while still doing your normal attack.

highest possible damage =/= average damage. cranium is higher, executioner has slightly better average.

I drop this SSSSU Naginata on 3rd room in Duncraig Myxir the week ago on cube mix 3xsu+ac and catch secret nagi. Btw. Yesterday i drop SSU Naginata on Duncraig... Myxir have +7 Pounce i have +4 Pounce. So is not photomontage

Sweet picture!

The highest possible dps Thorn strike weapon has arrived.
Remember, thorn strike does not use durability.
No cranium basher does not have higher damage.

Wasting 6 xis runes like that should be a crime.

That’s sick axe

cranium is higher, executioner has slightly better average.

Incorrect as we can clearly see the proc is "on kill" so this would not be relevant on ubers where you would even consider needing this damage of course.
If it was on striking we could do the maths to incorporate the dps through the procs wdm and its chance along with it's hit delay pretty easily but this is not the case.

Also this "highest possible damage =/= average damage." is a very silly comment because you say "stop using the term DPS your not using it correctly", yet you are actually not in understanding of what "DPS" technically is so I will explain. DPS stands for Damage per second. The amount of total damage you can deal over a sustained period of time. This becomes an average of all damage within the time frame and is a mean ~ of min + max. Giving that the average mean dmg of cranium basher is lower, it in tern has less sustained dps.

Dps =/= the maximum random highest hit in a sequence, but rather the maximum possible continues mean of damage of continues hits in a sequence.
Hopefully this helps you better understand.

you didn't understand at all.

I said highest possible damage is not average damage. I didn't say DPS isn't average damage. that's literally the definition. amount of damage over 1 second, so an average. highest damage is not average. you should read before writing

So implying you just stated this for no reason?

highest possible damage =/= average damage. cranium is higher, executioner has slightly better average.

I think you are trying to argue that cranium basher can do a higher possible hit, which is can because it's max dmg is higher. However this is irrelevant because it's not sustained dps. a 1-1400 dmg wep would do the same but with a much lower average, thus less dps.

Isnt there somewhere other than the picture thread this pointless argument can take place? Every time i see a post i come expecting a new cool item and get disappointed.
