Zeal -
6.2k Damage
66 Deadly Strike

Or

Assuming they are the average damages the 9k 35% ds

they seem crazy high to be average damages though

Just calculate: (min DMG + max DMG) / 2 * (1 + ds/100)

For EDC that would be: (2185 + 6456) / 2 * (1+ 66/100) = 8641/2 * 1.66 = 7172,03 average damage.

To factor in ar, you need to know/assume def and level of your opponent.
Calculation see:

This is all assuming same attack speed etc. for all setups.

This was helpful ty

I would use edc setup in gm melee out of these options

U should be using gores also so should have 81ds
