How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Sacerdos]

HT -> ID -> Dis -> CT -> 4th -> Phl -> TT -> VT -> FT -> 4th -> HT -> TT -> VT -> FT -> 4th -> Phl -> ID -> Dis -> CT

Note you're just changing CT -> FT -> CT -> FT to CT -> FT -> FT -> CT, so total direct damage potency is the same looking at this window, you're just looking at the debuffs.

Dis drops after 30 seconds before the second Phl and CT drops at the second ID

You only get 2-3 ticks more of the buffed CT dot. I'm assuming all the buffs stacked is about 50% of 70-105 potentcy, so 35 to 52.5 potency. I am pulling that out of my hat because I don't know the actual math on the total damage boost from stacking everything at once.

CT dot drops for 7.5s, losing 2-3 ticks (70-105 potency) and Disembowel drops for 3 GCDs worth 570 potency total (the second Phl and CT combo). Disembowel debuff is 11.1% damage increase, so ~62 potency lost. That is not counting if there is a MCH or BRD. 3 GCDs for MCH/BRD is at least 450 potency, so you're losing ~50 potency on their attacks in that window.

You lose 132-167 potency due to dropping Disembowel and CT dot, to gain ~52.5 potency on the unclipped buffed dot. You lose even more if you have a MCH/BRD.

This math is pretty napkin and has a lot of assumptions/errors but its pretty clear its a net loss.
