Kick damage calculator?

Is there a kick damage calculator to be found somewhere on the net? I'm
tempted to max Dragon Flight (DF) on my Dragon Talon girl. I use DF a lot on
all of my assassins but for the first time I have the boots to inflict some
serious damage. The casting delay sucks, but my goal is to use DF to help me
get that first body for my Death Sentry traps.

Are these upgraded Gores? I've read these are by far the best boots
for Kickers.
Not sure of a calulator but would be interested in one myself if
anyone posts.

Upgraded Gores are nice. Elite greaves are nice also depending on your set
up. Here is a link with kick damage formulae, but I haven't seen a
calculator:

Any pair of myrmidon greaves will have the same damage, so it's just a
question of what mods the boots have. It's hard to beat the CB, -req
and other stuff on Gore Riders with some rare boots, but otherwise
they're the same. It should be very very hard to beat Gore Riders or
Shadow Dancers for a kicker.

Are the formulas that include the boot damage correct? I have seen somewhere
that boot damage is disabled, so that all boots add 0 damage.

I don't know if the formula is correct, but I can confirm that boots add
damage. It's rather easy to prove: choose a kick, put on a pair of boots,
watch the damage go up, change to 'bigger' boots, watch damage go up some
more. ;-)

Are you baseing that comparison using the lcs (lying charactor screen) the
same one that shows assassin chargeups adding to both claws when using 2
claws?

I don't trust the char screen for any assassin skill.

Actually you bring up a good point there. Maybe it was just wishful
thinking, but the monsters did seem to die faster when I was wearing boots
than when I wasn't.

I don't know if I'd go as far as saying that, but the char screen tends to
be wrong in several cases and not just with assassins. With my avenger,
wether I have conviction or town portal on my right hand skill I have the
same chance to hit even though conviction reduces enemy defence by 75%.

Thanks, I'll give it a go and see if it's more accurate than my own
calculations.

Did I answer this or not? Anyway they are upgraded Gore Riders.
