You can stack 6 stacks of ticks onto one target. Each stack can get up to 5 or 6 ticks I don't rightly recall.|

Each damaging power can hit for up to 5 ticks of damage (we'll say I have the 75% proc, so typically one power should get me 4 of those 5 ticks of damage) If these understandings are accurate, then I am almost positive that I would get to 6 ticks of damage within a 2 power attack - which would then suppress any more damage over time until the 10 seconds is up. If this is true, then wouldn't the reactive DoT proc net me only 0.6*(whatever the damage of 1 tick is) per second? Based on mids, that would be 0.6*(13.39) = 8 DPS. Am I misunderstanding something, or is this accurate? |
Tier 3 reactive was good to move me from 253 to 278 dps against pylons on my SS/FA.
Others in the pylon threads seemed to have similar results.

Thanks, that was definitely my misunderstanding. So assuming within a 10 second period I can hit 6 times on an enemy, I should expect roughly 6*5*.75*13.39/10 = 30.1275 DPS improvement. Awesome
