Introduction

In Diablo 3, your follower can wield weapons that significantly impact your party's damage output. The right weapon choice can make a substantial difference in your follower's effectiveness. This calculator helps you compare different weapons to find the optimal choice for your follower's build.

When selecting a weapon for your follower, consider factors such as damage per second (DPS), attack speed, and any follower-specific bonuses. The calculator takes these factors into account to provide a comprehensive comparison.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Select the weapon type from the dropdown menu.
  2. Enter the weapon's base damage.
  3. Enter the weapon's attack speed.
  4. Enter any follower-specific bonuses (if applicable).
  5. Click "Calculate" to see the results.

The calculator will display the weapon's DPS, a comparison with other weapons, and a chart visualizing the results.

Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate weapon DPS:

DPS = (Base Damage + Follower Bonuses) / Attack Speed

Where:

  • Base Damage - The weapon's base damage value
  • Follower Bonuses - Any additional damage bonuses from follower skills or items
  • Attack Speed - The weapon's attack speed in seconds

Example Calculation

Let's say you have a follower with a Hand Crossbow that deals 150 base damage with an attack speed of 1.2 seconds and a follower bonus of 30 additional damage.

Using the formula:

DPS = (150 + 30) / 1.2 = 162.5

The Hand Crossbow provides a DPS of 162.5, making it a strong choice for your follower.
