math :V

Stream-of-consciousness math, go

Steady is 10% now
4133 RAP with Runeblade
254-472 + 413.3 + 252 + 189
1108.3-1326.3

versus Arcane
1111.95

but there's armor involved
but Arcane's DPM is stupid - glyph it, maybe, but still

base mana: 5046
Steady's 5% - 252.3
25% reduction for Master Marks, 10% reduction for Efficiency - 170 mana

Arcane's 7% - 353.22
10% reduction for Eff - 318 mana

30% armor reduction, average Steady is 852
852/170 = 5.01 DPM
versus Arcane
1111.95/318 = 3.50 DPM

but Aimed
254-472 + 826.6 + 408 + 189
1677.6-1895.6
average, at 30% armor: 1250.62
8% base mana = 403.68
10% reduction from Eff = 363 mana
1250.62/363 = 3.44 DPM

but...

Arcane is arcane damage (durr) so I get bonuses from CoElem or Earth and Moon

And I know we have a laser chicken

Plus Imp Arcane > Barrage (slightly)

so if I drop Barrage into IArc, leave Aimed as a floater talent (and another shot on the run for liek Heigan), weave Arc where Aimed is now

hrm

Damnit, Nass

so in theory, after 3.0.8

3/3 Barrage -> 3/3 IArc
S/S/Arc/S/S/Ch
Aimed if needed

I need more Dr Pepper

and less stupid customers
