Perfect Balance: TwS or DK?

[EasymodeX]

It's semi-common knowledge based on the way the resist system works. Some other people tested it. Even if the testing is wrong and it is +10% instead of +11% (1/0.9), that's not a meaningful difference. The main difference is that DK does 10 more potency than TW, and the blunt% only applies to direct damage, not DoTs.

I prefer demolish>snap>dragon>twin>snap.

I like demolish first because if I put it last I don't get as many ticks of it off before I will reapply it again with full buffs. Having gl2 before applying the demolish might make up for the lost ticks but I haven't done the math.

You do get the Dragon Kick debuff while under the effects of Perfect Balance, and Bootshine will crit if used from behind while under it's effect as well. It flat out removes all stand requirements while leaving the bonus effects in tact.

Above answer is right. My opener on any boss(well the bosses that I've done so far). Under PB I do SPx3-DK-TwS. I tried playing with SP-TrSx2-DK-SP, but I don't get full stack of GL.

Lol ok, thanks for correcting me 4 people in a row!

I go SP > SP > Demolish > DK > True Strike. 9% damage + 5% haste > 10% damage so I prioritize getting my Lightning up first. Dragon Kick debuff only works in Opo-Opo form so if you don't apply it during PB, you won't have it for awhile. Twin Snake will be applied shortly after PB ends so its not that important to use it during PB. It will be a very very slight DPS increase to use Twin Snake instead of True Strike but I like going DK > Twin Snake and I will be using a DK immediately after PB ends so its just of matter of convenience.

Optimally I would go SP > SP > Demolish > DK > Twin Snake > (buffs) > ToD > DK > True Strike > etc.
