This is absolutely ridiculous (DPS CHECK RANT)

...if you were doing perfect before changing to a better weapon, then you will be doing proportionally the same after.

And here, you're dead wrong. Sometimes rotations (in particular, oGCDs) have to change as you gear up, due to Skill/Spell speed. More SSPD == Shorter time between GCDs == less room for your oGCDs to go in. This can, depending on your latency and the specific oGCDs, cause GCD clipping to occur, which is almost always a DPS loss. Mostly an issue for MNK and NIN, tho.

If you are getting a dps loss, then you can just wait. >.> Like wtf is that even an argument? "I lost dps because I was pressing buttons too fast".

Here we're talking about like fractional dps loss.... people doing optimal rotations getting fractions of seconds of clipping aren't the people doing dps that is half of the other dps in the group.

This is also true. Having a good rotation with clipping is better than having a bad one without.

As a response to both you and the other guy who quoted me: I was simply pointing out that "your best rotation is always the same regardless of gear" is wrong.
