Monk question- Demolish

[Skies]

Demolish has a base damage of 30 potency
It also delivers a DoT with 40 potency for 18s, so 6 ticks, for a total of 160 potency.

If you attack from behind the base damage is 70 potency.

So given the entire durattion of the DoT, attacking from the front/side is 190 potency, attacking from the back is 230 potency

You mean 240 damage

For OP:
Some info about dots from another thread:
all DoTs tic based on server time, not application time. This means if the server decides that the tics are at :03, :06, and :09, if you apply a DoT at :01 and another person applies a DoT at :02, both of your DoTs will tic for the first time at :03. This doesn't affect gameplay that much, however it is worth noting.

So you'll hit 6 tics, but can't predict time to reapply dot after last tick

Somebodys math is wrong...
Total: Least you can do with Demolish during its full time is 270 if not attacking from the back. The LEAST. 30 potency + (6 ticksx40 potency) = 270. Your strongest move as a Monk I believe is 190. So as long as your Demolish lasts for 4 ticks (little more than half duration, 12 seconds), it will have been worth using. Mind you, 270 is the LEAST amount you can do. Its solid damage as ticks can not miss, but they can most certainly crit. And also scale with your buffs.
