- Using DEX pot before or after Hawk's eye does not affect its result, it is not multiplicative but additive.

One correction first - every DoT tick is every 3s, so your chance of a proc is every 3s, not every second.

User JohnMccain have stated earlier - BL have a pretty long animation. Some would call it "animation lock". During this period, you are unable to fire off any other skill.

You will face scenarios like your GCD timer is about 70% refreshed and your BL proc'd. Your question is, should you fire your BL immediately, right now? I would choose not to. Reason due to the long animation lock. By the time the lock is over, I might have wasted 1s of my GCD timer. Or put it in another perspective - should I not have this BL proc, I could have used another GCD skill 1s earlier than I could if I used the BL.

While you might think that 1s may not be a thing, but if this happens consecutively, it is a loss in DPS. In the above scenario, I would choose to fire off a GCD skill first following by firing off the BL proc immediately after. The chances of a new proc within this 1s of time is extremely low, and compared to the 1s of definite time lost, I think the choice is clear.

Of course you have other scenario like if you know things like High Voltage is immediately up next, you should not fire your BL because the animation lock is likely to cause you to miss shooting your blunt arrow in time. Fire your blunt arrow/do whatever you need to first.

A lot of times, the kind of judgment call you make over long fights can make a difference to your DPS performance.
