Proc Comparison
Notes: Assumed procs are not resisted. Does not assume dots are up 100% of the time.
Assumptions
500 Dex
Formulas
- Primary PPM (Proc Per Minute): 0.5 + (Dex / 170) = 3.44 PPM
- Secondary PPM (Proc Per Minute): 0.5 + ((Dex / 170) / 2) 1.97 PPM
DD vs. DoT DPS Mechanics
- Direct Damage (DD): Scales linearly without limit. Unless resisted, every proc hits for 100% of its Dmg.
- Damage over Time (DoT): Does not scale linearly. Landing a proc overwrites the active DoT timer on the target, any additional ticks from a prior proc are lost.
- DoT tick DPS cannot exceed Tick Damage / 6 sec, even with a high proc rate.
DoT Uptime
- The formula used to calc dot dps does not assume 100% uptime. It incorporates a Poisson distribution term—(1 - e^PPS*Duration)—to calculate active combat time for a DoT.
- Low DEX / Offhand: Lower proc rates yield incomplete uptime (e.g., 31% to 39%), reducing the DoT contribution to account for gaps where the debuff expires.
- High DEX / Mainhand: Higher proc rates push uptime closer to 100% (e.g., 63% to 99%+), where the DoT acts as a full maintenance aura while excess procs clip.
TLDR:
I tried to account for the duration of dots and the chance that a dot is active. Its not 100%, but a fair approximation.
