Enchanted reprise as an oGCD

[Taranok]

Your potency per mana calculations are a bit wrong. It should be 14.1875 potency per mana, not 10. Remember, verholy/flare and scorch are all part of your PPM, and the mana it would give being delayed also costs you potency in opportunity cost. The point is it's an exceptionally huge loss of DPS. BLM can justify the occasional scathe because the timing on AF outright denies you the ability to guarantee you will get that fire 4 if you delay, but RDM have the luxury of delaying indefinitely at the loss of PPS due to GCD loss.

It's still a worst case scenario, it sucks for everyone involved.

I cited Turing's numbers in my calculations, and they do take note of the potency rebates that the combo gives. Although on the sheet they account for it by saying the combo's end cost is 122 mana, the numbers I gleaned wound up the same as theirs.

I'm also less arguing the point and more talking the math, because the math is fun to me.

in opportunity cost.

If you want to talk about opportunity cost, the potency per mana is around 6.something because the entire combo costs 163 mana, opportunity costs included.
