Quick and Dirty - How to DPS in FFXIV

[Viridiana]

I am genuinely interested in an explanation, as I am always looking for ways to improve.

Basically, 15% isn't high enough of a chance to statistically outweigh the lower base cost of Quick Knock. Over the course of, say, 10 GCDs, even if you get the 1 proc you can reasonably expect (it's only a 1/7 chance, after all), you're still going to burn more TP with Wide Volley + proc than you would using Quick Knock 10 times. Meanwhile, the proc is less damage, too. It's only if you get lucky with procs that you start actually saving TP.

Makes sense. Thanks for the reply!
