Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

@whiskey, are you counting disembowel buff into the potency or no?

1590 - 1690 Potency from those jumps. Assuming you're not saving them for mobility.

Raging Strikes is ~560 extra potency not accounting for HT buff or BfB. I believe I recall buffs multiplying, instead of adding.

Since I had the above calcs handy, I removed jumps from opener, plugged in 20% buff for RS. Potency calc comes to 5372 (DRG) vs 4766 (LNC w/ RS)

@whiskey, are you counting disembowel buff into the potency or no?

Yes.. I used the same formula for both comparisons (I don't think it's wrong, but if I am they are still relative to one another since same formula).. That is: (potency) * (15% HT) = (new potency) * (10% Dis) = (new potency) * (25% B4B) = etc. etc. I use this order since that's they order they are applied in (not sure if that matters though)

Edit: Now that I think about it, Disembowel should probably be last in the equation, since it doesn't buff attack power directly, the decreased pierce resistance is probably calculated at impact. Just a minor difference, though.

Im about to do some math, ill use your same formula just so they are the same but im going make b4b 20% not 25% since thats what it is.

Wait.. You mean 30%? Not sure how I f'd that up, been using 25% for ever lol

Anyways, I changed the formula to do 10% Dis buff last, didn't change the numbers at all. All that extra math for nothing lol

Also, the numbers also include DoT ticks, one CT by itself, 6 ticks of Phleb + CT (no Dis buff)

Yeah you could prolly just add the three %s and do a straight multiply and get the same. And yes 30% i always say 20 lol

So will you do the math on second rotation you posted. The one that was higher potency. And do it with 30% blood instead of 25.

Yea was working on it. Result is 5541 vs 5663

Just a couple extra notes, not exactly sure how Life Surge crit is calculated. On the Monk thread they mention crit is 50% increase, so I treat it like Power Surge. For Life Surge + Full Thrust, 330 * 1.5 = 495 * 1.15 = 569.25 * 1.3 = 740.025 * 1.1 = 814.0275 potency (rounding down on all)
