TLDR Overview - Weapons DMG, Surges and Fonts

10/17/22 Are Affinity Surges 4.28/8.66 are Weapon Fonts below 100. .214% per point 30-100 Loadout efficacy is at a +3% differential 2 surges vs 1 & 1 when running 2 affinities. It's 1.1*1.0426 = 1.147... Let's say 15% for both affinities' vs 17 & 10 if you slot 2&1 affinities. That's +3% in favor of 1 font and 2 individual surges. Example: Stasis & Solar 15% for both vs 10% for Solar 17% for Stasis weapons. +7 vs. +10 that's where the +3% differential comes from. It changes over 100. Fonts, it's only 3/6 for primaries and special (.15), 2/4(.1) for Heavy weapons for Boss DPS. And since Fonts and Surges occupy the same slot running Fonts above 100 instead of targeting your DPS weapons with Surges really isn't worth it for DPS. These metrics apply to raw stats for weapons too... I think going for 200 weapons does not serve 99.9% of players... We're taking Solo, Low Man Ultimate. I wouldn't even include Day 1 contest... I'm taking Bog, Suutek, Aegis, Eso... It's would be better to focus Super... the optimal raw DMG rotation being talked about? I'm adding my confirmation.... for Bosses that can take Fusion nades. It's Starfire Lock... Well, Super then Grenade... Because of how Well works for the caster, because your weapons get the super buff and scaling... those ranges and values are much more potent and generous than the Weapons stat gives for both Super and Grenade. I'm not saying don't boost weapons over 100... I'm saying don't expect a lot if you do... I'd recommend 2nd or 3rd priority. If you're a more casual player... 100 is good enough... boosting to 100 with a single Font from 80 is going favor most players... Anything else is probably better for you. 😇👍💠 This is the 3rd time I wrote this post trying to edit out as much of the super nerdy stuff as I could to condense it, if you have any questions getting even more into the math and specifics, I can probably answer them... or will try.
