    Hello all veterans of AoC,

    I have checked the Feats Calculator and other websites related to Combos and such. Here is my question (I couldn't find info on this in here).

    Ok Combos, you get for some classes a combo with one ARROW. This combo and of cause fatality is fast in execution and does a fair amount of Damage. NOW, if you get the Tier 2 or 3 you have to deal with 2 or 3 ARROWs to execute this combo. BUT the question is Does the 3 arrow combos outdamage the 1 arrow combo? What I mean is if I can hit a tier 1 combo much faster then a 3 arrow combo doesn't that defeat the purpose of DPS?

    Could I get some feedback on this from you guys, since I know that many of my fellow Hammer Claners are Veterans in AoC.

    Thanks upfront

    Yes, each tier of a combo does more damage.

    In my opinion, I think each combo hit should be included in the dps.

    Example:
    Lets say a normal hit for a 2 handed sword does 200 damage.
    A Tier 1 Sweep combo does 300 damage to all targets. (1 UP to execute)
    A Tier 2 Sweep combo does 400 damage to all targets. (2 UP to execute)

    using Tier 1
    200 damage (UP) + 300 damage (Sweep) = 500 total

    using Tier 2
    200 damage (UP) + 200 damage (UP) + 400 damage (Sweep) = 800 total

    that makes sense then, would you advice to use a Tier1+ (next move) a tier2 together for more DPS, or just wait for the tier2 to refresh?

    Different levels of combos don't share the same cooldown either. I use three different versions of some.
