Yeah, I'm aware of the default about rank, I'm just **** about putting it in so I can track it. In the case of steady, I revamped it from 1 to 2 to see any differences. It didn't seem to make much of one either way. I wasn't super concerned about mana expenditures at this point. It was a simple dps series of tests.
I noticed no interruption of KC to 'steady' but the bars are so fast now that it was hard to tell.
I was mostly surprised to find that aimed seemed to increase the dps output and that ANY special insert into the Auto/Steady cycle seemed to boost damage. Even the arcane one while statistically the 'same' read higher in both the tests I did on it, it was only about ~10-20dps though and so not significant given randomization.
I'll use them in actual live Raid test on Sunday and see what I come up with.
