[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 9498223, member: 6795602"] You do not have 100% chance to miss by 1,2,3 or 4 10 times in the day. Your actual attempts will be lower than the 10 dice you multiply by due to variability around what you miss by and the number of times you miss in the 'sweet spot, 1-4 or whatever'. Whatever chance you have of doing this needs computed and then you multiple that Chace C by 10. If C = 80% then: Due to that variability it should be something closer to C*10*.784 = 8*.784 = 6.2. I'll compute the exact value later. Yea, there are alot of caveats. But also the conclusion isn't true when everything is fully accounted for. Maybe, or maybe they attack the monk beside you, or maybe they go after your wizard, etc. Maybe a different enemy hits you first, do you use your reaction attack on it? Etc. It's not that you won't get some % of reaction attacks against your target, it's just we have no real way to measure how many or if it will even be applicable this encounter. Due to that kind of variability I wouldn't rely on riposte for single target DPR calculations. There's still some pretty good single target damage maneuvers though, outside precision and riposte. Too high a chance to be wasted if trying to riposte. I'd recommend something more like feinting attack for Relentless as a reliable solid single target damage buff. Estimating it adds +7.9 DPR. Though will come at the expense of your bonus action attack from GWM DPR, something we’ve not calculated yet. [/QUOTE]
