Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

How big of a sample size did you have, and were you comparing average vs average or high vs high and low vs low?

A 2.2 base GCD is a 12% reduction from 2.5, which would give your DoT ticks 12% more damage. That makes a Thundercloud T3 give: 70 + 8*40 + 8*40*1.12 = 748.4 total potency.

I don't have a big sample but you you go completely naked the DoT of shadowflare is 1 damage higher than Aero lol that's something I've noticed and that everyone that made the test notice and it makes absolute no sense test because the tooltip specify both of them are spells with potency of 25. at 500 Spell Speed it became two damage higher but my samples are not developed mainly because I don't have the time lol.

Also, Attack Speed devalues Spell Speed because you need 66 Spell Speed for 1% GCD Reduction and I definitely noticed and probably everybody can confirm me that your Spell Speed doesn't have as big of an impact when under Leylines because your base GCDs are 2.125 and 2.55 If what you're saying is true (which I hope you are not) Attack Speed would have a negative impact when casting DoTs but it is unlikely if Judge_Xero made the test
