The average difference between a flank snap and rear demo is 14 potency if both land the positional, looking at your average fight this difference is more in favor of snap, now if you're delaying Demo by even half a second snap will come ahead in every case of the fight.

Guess it depends on SkS.

The post only says fracture is a DPS loss in that specific rotation, in a normal rotation where you switch between DK/Boot TS/True fracture is a clear DPS increase, also that rotation works on a dummy but in a real situation mechanics will cause the buffs to drop off for longer.

Don't know the numbers myself but that High SS video looks pretty cool, he got to take advantage of using Forbidden Chakra on the Dummy because he didn't use any Fracture or ToD. It might actually be a decent build, I wouldn't mind seeing one at 240. Though I don't have the time to change my build now, I barely have time to raid.

They aren't even right about Fracture not being a potency gain under the premise that you catch the buffs on time, since they have some mad Demolish clipping in there without it. That is, Fracture contributes more than its own potency thanks to that.

First time posting here. Followed the ss build krindor was talking about on pg 158. I'm ilvl 239 with 240 lore wep. Just missing a7s pants with food I'm around 950 ss. It's alot of run and I'm gaining extra ws especially on a7s boss jumps. Haven't tried no tod or fracture. I'll try it this weekend when I have some free time.

It's very much a dummy rotation because if you have to stop attacking for even one second, you lose dps (The same as usual of course, but it's worse when you drop buffs as a result.)

Definitely intrested of seeing the results of that build, haven't tried it myself yet, could see both positive and negative things of it in A7S, especially TP issues are apparent, but if you got a NIN/AST it is probably more manageable.

Sadly my raids setup is drk war whm sch drg blm brd then me as mnk or nin. A7s isn't that bad I do 2nd purple jail. But my tp does come close towards the end of the fight.
