About[]

This page aims to calculate optimal layouts for various conditions, to expand upon the general optimal layouts listed on Revolution.

The various conditions considered are:

layouts generated will be able to continuously use basic abilities forever. layouts that cannot are considered 'not working'.

Note: when a table row states "with [an ability]", the ability is simply being considered for inclusion and may not actually be part of the layout if it doesn't improve the DPT of the layout. (This is particularly true of Sacrifice.)

AADPT[]

AADPT is the Average Ability Damage Per Tick. It is an empirical measure of comparing revolution layouts, and is given as a percentage. It takes account of the maximum and minimum damage of each ability (thus average), is weapon-independent (being a percentage), and is rated per game tick, as opposed to per second (1 tick = 0.6 seconds).

If you wish, you can easily convert AADPT to DPT (damage per tick) or DPS (damage per second):

  • Find your ability damage in your Gear interface, under the Loadout tab with the combat stats. Multiply this number by the AADPT percentage to get your DPT.
    • E.G. 1666 ability damage with an AADPT of 30.81% gives 513.3 DPT
  • Divide this by 0.6 to convert from DPT to DPS
    • E.G. 513.3/0.6 = 855.5 DPS
  • Equally, you can convert from AADPT to AADPS (Average Ability Damage Per Second) by dividing the AADPT value by 0.6
    • E.G. 30.81%/0.6 = 51.35% AADPS

As AADPT (and AADPS) is a percentage, some abilities need to be recalculated to use a percentage measure.

More layouts[]

If you want a layout for a situation that isn't listed, feel free to request it on the talk page.

Revolution++ optimal layouts[]

After the Going like Clockwork update, ultimate and threshold abilities can be placed, and are automatically triggered. These include all such abilities for increased damage per second. These layouts are generated by an open source program and were freely contributed on reddit.

Assumptions:

  • That the player is training or on a slayer task, and not bossing
  • That the enemy may be stunned or bound
  • That enemies are not moved during any bleed ability
  • That no adrenaline boosting items are used after an ultimate
  • That enemy is stationary and you have 100% accuracy
  • That only one enemy is being attacked
  • You may want to consider adding some AoE abilities (such as chain, ricochet, quake...) manually.

Notes[]

Excluding abilities[]

This section deals with excluding specific abilities from a layout due to their unwanted properties.

Melee: Cleave[]

Cleave Cleave is a two-handed melee ability which can hit additional targets in front of the user in a small cone. Halberds and scythes have a larger cone.

Ability notes[]

All layouts are re-run accounting for stuns. If a layout contains both a stunning ability (Impact/Backhand/Kick/Binding Shot) and a stun-buffed ability (Wrack/Punish/Piercing Shot), and the stun-buffed ability occurs immediately after the stunning ability, the AADPT of the layout is increased slightly. However, this generally does not happen, and the amount it increases AADPT by isn't enough to change the order of layouts.

Abilities that state a single percentage in their description (... does 188% weapon damage) really mean that the ability does up to that percentage. (They also commonly state weapon damage, autoattack damage or spell damage when they really mean ability damage.) The minimum hit of such abilities is one-fifth of the percentage, with the actual damage done being uniformly distributed between these two values. The average is then the minimum and maximum added together and divided by two (which simplifies to the maximum multiplied by 0.6). For example, Sever does 188% ability damage. Its minimum hit is (188/5)% = 37.6%, and its average is ((188 + 188/5)/2)% = (188*0.6)% = 112.8%.

Bash Bash is a basic shield ability that does 100% ability damage plus the armour value of the shield plus your Defence level, with a 15 second cooldown. As the damage is not a pure percentage, it has to be adjusted to be calculated into the optimal layouts properly. Thus, on this page, Bash uses an ability damage of up to 153.1%. This is calculated from tier 90 gear with level 99 in the relevant skills - 864 weapon damage + 247 base damage + 491 armour + 99 Defence => 1701/1111 = 1.531 = 153.1%. This represents the highest damage that Bash can do. Equivalent values for other levels are:

  • Tier 70 gear and level 70 skills: 143.3%
  • Tier 50 gear and level 50 skills: 136.3%
  • Tier 30 gear and level 30 skills: 133.1%
  • Minimum damage (shield with 0 armour, no Defence): 100%

Optimal layouts are calculated using both the minimum and maximum values, but order of abilities doesn't normally change.

Tuska's Wrath Tuska's Wrath is a Constitution basic which has two forms:

  • Normally, it does 110% damage with a 15 second cooldown
  • When the monster being fought is your current Slayer task (with exception to non-tagable monsters) it does 100 * your Slayer level (which can be increased by a slayer helm's damage increase), with a 120 second cooldown

Thus, similarly to Bash, Tuska's Wrath (on-task) needs to be adjusted to a percentage. With maximum tier gear, and level 99 Slayer, the hit is equivalent to 713% (with a small enough range to ignore). This percentage can vary significantly with gear and slayer level, so layouts involving this ability should be treated with care. (Though the on-task version of Tuska's Wrath really should be treated as a threshold or ultimate ability, not included in a rotation.) The off-task version of Tuska's Wrath is just a normal ability. For the purpose of this page, only off-task Tuska's Wrath is considered unless otherwise stated by a section.

Needle Strike Needle Strike gives the next ability a flat damage increase of 5% of your base ability damage (i.e. if your next ability was going to hit 200%, it would hit 200+5=205% (not 200*1.05=210%)). For ease of calculation, this is included into the Needle Strike damage rather than the next ability (since it'd be the same amount regardless).

Kick Kick is not used for calculating the layouts, as it is functionally identical to Backhand Backhand, except that it pushes back some enemies.

Shock Shock is not used for calculating the layouts, as it is functionally identical to Impact Impact, except that it pushes back some enemies.

Demoralise Demoralise is not used for calculating the layouts, as it is functionally identical to Binding Shot Binding Shot, except that it pushes back some enemies and does not snare them.

Strykebow Shieldbows can use two-handed ranged abilities as well as shield abilities, so are considered separately from one-handed with shield.

Several abilities are identical in damage and cooldown, so can be swapped to favour one or the other for their secondary effect, or to swap handedness, without changing the layout's AADPT:

  • Cleave and Decimate for Strength, and Smash and Havoc for Attack - swapping these pairs (Cleave and Smash for Decimate and Havoc) is a simple way to swap between two-handed and dual-wielding melee (in addition to thresholds/ultimates)
  • Dazing Shot and Needle Strike can be swapped to change from two-handed to dual-wielded ranged with minimal change to AADPT
