Message: <blockquote data-quote="thuter" data-source="post: 8608744" data-attributes="member: 6975034">It is, I tried to make it more clear by using the brackets. The calculation is a single attack with advantage, with the second attack gated behind the first crit (hence the 0.2775 multiplier), and the third attack is gated behind the second crit (hence the 0.2775 multiplier within the first crit bracket. Each base attack (including triggered attacks from Relentless Attack) deals 15.17 damage, assuming advantage and 50% base to hit.Each attack is considered separately, can crit, and is adjusted for miss chance and crit chance. 15.17 expected damage is from a single attack given advantage and 50% base to hit, and this includes damage from triggering attacks from critting because of Relentless Attack. So with multi-attack, the expected damage is 30.34 (given that each attack, even the extra ones from Relentless Attack can crit and thus deal more damage).In the 1 in 28.438 chance that all 4 base attacks and for each of those the first Relentless Attacks crit as well, you get a total of 12 attacks, each dealing 11 average damage (2d6+4), which are doubled on a crit in my calculations.4 At-will attacks was based on the mentioned use of Cleaving Swing for each of the 2 base attacks from multi-attack. I admit to some error here, as the spawning of these secondary attacks is not based on hitting in my calculations and I ignored the fact that using this maneuver is a reaction, and can thus be taken only once per round.So: 30.34 expected damage from the first two attacks from multi-attack.There is a 93.75% chance of at least hitting once, enabling Cleaving Swing (given a target for it). So the added damage from the Cleaving Swing Attack is 0.9375*15.17 = 14.22Bringing the total expected DPR to 30.34 + 14.22 = 44.56 instead. Still one-rounding CR2 creatures and even some CR3 and 4.</blockquote>
