How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[SunnyHirose]

I was eager to see what the effect of SS on DoTs was. At 768 STR, 378 DET, 523 SS (displayed recast: 2.43), I used a rotation of HT CT CT for a few minutes. After taking out unbuffed hits and crits...

Chaos Thrust ticked for 117 - 130.
Heavy Thrust hit for 615 - 678.
Impulse Drive hit for 652 - 716.
Disembowel hit for 796 - 878.
Chaos Thrust hit for 909 - 995.

With Disembowel factored out but Heavy Thrust applied to both, that puts physical hits at around 3.45843461 dpp and Chaos Thrust ticks at around 3.52857143. That's about 2.028% buff to DoTs for about 2.88% boost to direct GCD damage. And while that's more than before, uh... it doesn't quite appear to take SS-induced clipping penalties out of the game, now, does it ._.
