How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[whiskeybravo]

I was gonna reference that, but the question was specifically regarding the opener, and the math there only compares the general case. They were looking for specifically how the numbers shake out regarding a fully buffed CT being clipped early in the first 30s of the fight.

I guess I just took:

"we are never going to have enough Skill Speed for a non-clipping approach to be worth it."

too literal :P

That's a net loss of 73.5-80.4 potency up through the re-application of Chaos Thrust in this modified opener.

I did a little chart out of boredom, basically came to the same result (81.65 pot loss):



For the dots I just added up the potency at the end/start of the next dot. 8 ticks on the clipping approach, all 10 on the non. Added leftovers at the end
