i am a Newbie in DQ. I play it since 3 days
My first stat to assess whether an item is good or bad ist the DPS.
But very often I am confused due to the values of the Items.
I suggest you look up the DPS formula and keep it in mind when you want to accurately calculate damage. Also, if you do know how DPS is calculated, you can ignore the bar that shows how much DPS you will gain.
Left side has better DPS. It has ASpd and explosion all of which are multiplicative increases and affects all of your attacks. Also Inferno does nothing for non Fire weapons. The DPS meter calculates your Total DPS (you have 4 different attacks) while the DPS number on the weapon only calculates for that weapon.
