Spellspeed weight on HoTs doesn't make sense

[mp-please]

This is an older thread, Dervy did a thing on this.
(1+(skillspeed-354)*0.000138 was the modifier equation he came up with

Yea this is a really old thread, i did the test a weekish after sps was changed. That formula helps though, if its correct then you'll need 354 sps to see a +1 health on your regen per tick... that's really bad.

This thread is bad and you should feel bad. Stouter Taru points it out perfectly. For every 1% you reduce your GCD by, you also increase the potency of your DoTs and HoTs by 1%. This is an exponential gain, and iirc somewhere around 800 SpS Aero will start doing better damage than Stone III.

Also lol @ 100 casts. You need a minimum of 1000 to have a clue of what's actually happening. Spells naturally deviate by around 5-10% of their average, and a single crit skews the sample. Iirc the blitzball damage calculator we used to have before dervy took about 3k samples.

If spellspeed was good you'd see results after a sample of 10, i could even sit a week and check 100000 non crits, i would only get a fairer average due to the min/max differences. Also no crits on that test.

This is also not about dots, its about hots. And i highly doubt 800 sps will make up 60 potency difference that separates aero from stone III mainly when sps will affect more stone IIIs per min than actual dot damage as you won't get more dot ticks per min.
