Isn't it better to use Mortal Flame as a DPS, because that way it'd be buffed by the DPS mimicry? Unless it's just unable to crit at all, having a constant 60p (bristle) DOT with massively increased chance to crit sounds pretty good, same with Breath of Magic I'd have thought

I just tested it, Mortal Flame ticks fluctuate from 700 to 1200 and Breath of Magic ticks fluctuate from 2200 to 3700, so they can both crit and direct hit, meaning DPS should have priority on those.

So, wait...

*Winged Reprobation: Helps with weaving, the stacks last forever, and the spell it buffs makes a good GCD spammer, which saves a slot

You let the stacks build, and use the 4th to get the buff, but don't touch the 3rd? ... intersting.

The 1s cast time allows double weaving and it has four uses. Devour and Magic Hammer were the only other 1s GCD cooldowns, but they weren't crucial DPS actions damage-wise even if they are slight gains.

Apokalypsis being that long is precisely why it's going to be a better Moon Flute ender than Phantom Flurry, so I would say the DPS will probably take it over Being Mortal.

It does at least tick 11 times to Phantom Flurry's six, and the entire duration still gets buffed by the flute, so it depends on how many times the flute gets used.

It doesn't deal direct damage (nor BoM), but the DoT ticks can still crit/dh, so it depends on whether it interacts with the mimicry constantly or only on application. It's also permanently buffed by Bristle and Moon Flute, so it may be worth using in an opener after all.
