• Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋
  • We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.
    Read more
    a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
    b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over /ooc, /shout or other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.

    Why Does RG Review Scripts?
    Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering, /target over impossible distances when /nav spawn would passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.

    You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting /lua run

RGMercs Two mages that are nearly identical, but with a huge difference in DPS

I have two mages with nearly identical gear, but one has maxed out AA while the other is about 5,000 AA points short. The only thing I adjusted was the attack timing (originally set to 96% HP; I changed it to attack at 99% HP).

Strangely, though, the mage with maxed-out AA only deals half to a third of the DPS of the other mage? (I tested this on about 50 mobs, and the results were consistent.)

I’ve tried searching for an answer but haven’t found one. Thanks.
 
Not sure what you expect us to say.
Make sure you didn't let a sub lapse and suddenly lose your gear/augs?

Check your settings, config used.
Reset them to default if needed.

How are you determining what their DPS is?

If you were using something like a DPS ADV I would tell you that you should get something like EQ log parser instead.

GPS ATV is not really a good parsing tool especially for a comparing against other characters
