How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Thendiel]

The general consensus is to use Geirskogul after every 4th-tier combo, like what I posted many pages back. The thing is, all of Thendiels math is kinda broken, as at i180 + i190 weapon, we have 597 Skillspeed, or a GCD of 2.256. At that level of Skillspeed, there's quite of interesting things happening, such as god-tier DoT clipping, BotD falling off at odd times, but your average GK per/min is much higher.

I think its 597 at least.... It's over 540 Total SS, that's what I remember.

The safety time at that level of Skillspeed to use Geirskogul without letting BotD fall off is around 17s.

Why 17 seconds? Don't you need 10 seconds for the Geirskogul itself, plus the duration of 5 GCDs that we should experience between 4th combo hits? I must be missing something.

ahaha oh wow, this is actually really fucking annoying

it's not that FT and CT can chain into either BoTD combo like i mistakenly said earlier, it's that there is a 50/50 chance of proccing either F&C or WT. so if you do TT>VT>FT, you will either proc F&C for a 290 potency flank, or a WT for a 290 potency rear, at a 50% chance each. so for example, if you do something very typical like rear chaos thrust>(jump) and you proc F&C, there's no way you're gonna get the F&C flank proc without losing a bit of your GCD. that's going to take some getting used to

I... wow. I did not see that coming.
