That said, you're right about Goring spam being better, since its initial hit is 390 potency, while Halone is a 350 potency attack.

Yeah, brain fart, idk why I was thinking that. (Wouldnt make sense either) (EDIT: I know why, its because I know I have to figure out the total potency, by dividing the time by 3, then multiplying it by the potency. so i defaulted into thinking i still needed to figure out the potency per tick, when being mentioned like this, but i dont need to figure anything out, as the per tick was all we needed to know.)
But back on topic, the amount of dmg you get from the ticks between combo finishers doesnt change. which is why goring is still better.
If you "let it finish" its DoT duration, you just refresh it up with another goring blade.
so assume its up 100% of the time.

in both cases, its up ~100% of the time.
so all there is, is to look at which combo does more dmg on its own direct potency.
