anyone know DPS per unit? it only shows damage and the speed of the damage? anyone know of the DPS(damage per sec) per unit?
You can't really rely on such numbers, since the damage each unit does is modified by the armor type of the target. What you should be focusing on, is which units do the most damage against specific other units, instead of trying to figure out which can do the most damage per second. And then we're not even talking about splash damage yet. :/
I don't know the answer. You may be able to determine it with the editor, looking at the damage and the cooldown time for the weapon, and dividing one by the other. Excel may be useful there While DPS is a useful figure to get a sense of how powerful a unit is, it is only of theoretical importance. In the real world, playing against an equally skilled opponent, you don't just set units attacking one another and leave them. You have to micro them, and DPS becomes less relevant there. If you're striking and withdrawing at opportune moments (as skilled players tend to do), the instant damage figure will be far more important to you than the DPS.
This is from a build in beta, but it does give you both a DPS chart and a DPS/cost chart. http://sc2pod.com/wiki/User:Tomer/Sandbox
I think a DPS chart is very useful in determining the value of an army. Unit speed, unit HP, and special abilities like cloak factor into the decision to use them. But a DPS chart and dps/cost chart when combined with an HP chart and HP/cost chart helps you decide things like, "Which would win a fight? 3 zealots or two dark templar?"
