Which melee dps has highest dps

[whiskeybravo]

Having two Dragoons actually allows one of them to revert to a slightly modified 2.0 rotation that outputs higher DPS than the typical 3.0 rotation.

Pretty sure this was disproved. Losing CT and phleb briefly is a big hit to dps. Just based on some simple math I did it's about 235 less potency overall, unless there is a different rotation you're talking about. I compared:

HT-IDC4-P-TTT4 (x2)

to

HT-IDC4-P-TTT4-HT-TTT4-P-IDC4

Not counting all the buffs and such just raw potency of the attacks & dots.

Were you accounting for the current CT clipping issue? We're losing 3 (?) ticks every CT. So, clipping about 105 potency on every use.

I don't think it really matters for this comparison because it's up continuously vs dropping off entirely for 2 or 3 gcds. I can't claim 235 potency is exact because doing this simply means not separating into 100ths of seconds and trying to line up the timing and potency perfectly, I'm pretty sure Thendiel has already done this somewhere in the drg thread.
