Has anyone calculated what the actual effect of "splurt" is from our Mythicals?

I splurt when I do your mom but that has nothing to do with what we're talking about...

i'll post a screenshot later may be, but basically the dmg of tick 5 of Coil = 2x dmg of tick 2 of coil. Tick 6-10 = tick 5.
with TSO-enduced drop in BoE and raise in +base, the dmg from spamming Coil every time it's up for BoE vs letting it tick out and reapply immideately is nearly identical acording to ACT. so, while a lot more pain in the ass to watch the Coil timer, you can now remove Coil from rotation and transfer saved time into extra dps from something else. Hopefully with a little practice I'll start getting a feel for when I should re-apply w/o dedicating too much attention to it and w/o losing Coil.

Incidentally... does anyone know of a mod that lets you create a "2nd effects window" and lets you specify which effects you only want to see in there? Or at least is there a way to limit effects displayed in the default "effects window"?

Twisty, I just did some mental math about what you posted. I'm sorry, but it makes no sense to me. Let's say a fight lasts exactly the time of one cast of coil, if you dont recast it...I believe thats about 24 seconds, Im not in game atm, so bear with me. so, about 1.6k initial hit, and 10 ticks of damage, one every 2.4 seconds. In my mind, the damage you gain from the initial nuke + 4 ticks would more than make up for the 5 ticks of the original coil that would happen in the same timeframe. Along the same line, the shorter the fight is, the more damage gained from reapplying coil as soon as you can.

I'm not saying this just because of that other thread we decided to argue in :P I'd love to see that parses you had to come up with what you said, Im going to parse it out myself, but Id like to see where you got this idea from.

It's also distinctly possible that my 5 hours of sleep in the past 3 days has caused my mental math to be comepletely off, if so, please correct me.

i'm more than happy to have a discussion based on any solid ground and more than happy to be shown I'm wrong

i can't really follow your mental math as you have it layed out, so i'm just going to post ACT screens.

Letting Coil tick, casting next coil right as previous fades: 29k (think I jumped the gun on 10th tick of 1st coil, but not a huge diff).
Spam Coil: 28k

I think there is 1 extra tick for the parse where Coil is ticking. I copy-pasted the summary dmg up top onto the Coil breakdown.

I'd say that's just about identical dmg. Done the comparison test now 3rd time with pretty much same results. Letting Coil tick wins, however, because inevitably when spamming Coil it kept coming mid-cast of Rot and there is the .8sec spent on casting and ~.2sec on recovery-reaction dead time before next spell.
