Fine-Tuning PLD rotation - tips?

[Reynhart]

Using Fracture is basically a .3% dps increase at the cost of a 6% increase in TP consumption.

If you clip GB, then you may have too much skill speed.

I've made a calculation on a 90 GCD window and using Fracture is a DPS gain only if you clip GB on at least 9 full rotations. In real situations where you probably move a little and might lose some tenth of a second, it's mostly innefective.

Clipping will happen no matter what. Even a base gcd of 2.5 will clip a 24s dot if inputs are perfect. 22.5s for 9 gcds does that, but you will get the 8 ticks (for 400 damage) if the first tick happens between 0s and 1.5s after the dot is applied.

Agreed, and to get to that point you would need around a 2.00 gcd and would burn through all of your TP in a 90s rotation.
