unfortunately lost the original log so here are some better:
https://dps.report/O3TL-20221206-0250... (32.558 in-game)
https://dps.report/OGwg-20221206-0257... (32.584 in-game)
and yes, the day I release this and I realise we lost the log of course I go and beat the bench back-to-back twice, peepohands

I have sigils swapped around in weapons and use only 3 Spiteful infusions with Experise main stat ascended feast, this has no impact whatsoever.

Double BiP opener bursts harder in exchange for tighter quickness uptime for the first loop, the total damage of single BiP opener shown at the end is identical. Single BiP gets more damage out of the transferred conditions and BiP itself due to higher average Blight during it, but requires the usage of Dagger 4 skill, making it lose whatever it gains, resulting it net zero difference. For fights without any phases it's recommended to use single BiP if possible (quickness leeway).

Soul Barbs precast is absolutely feasible on most bosses in the game, it does not get stripped and you now have 15 seconds to execute your ~6/7s opener. Feel free to swap the order around, casting double BiP first while running towards the boss is totally fine, just be sure to delay Elixir of Anguish as necessary to land it after the boonstrip.

It is better to always cast scepter skills in 3 → 2 order, because sc3 is crucial for the rotation to work and shouldn't ever be accidentally cancelled, whereas sc2 has a slight aftercast animation that allows for a tiny timesave if interrupted. I don't do this every time because of muscle memory.

Plaguesending is not used that often in this video because making use of it in most cases delays your whole loop, resulting in tighter quickness uptime, and BiP ticks in a lower blight average causing a small dps loss. In case you get conditions applied to you from outside sources, it is also better to be casting BiP → d4 manually as it allows Plaguesending to act as a back-up transfer later on. Yes, all this increases your chances of getting your self-conditions cleansed, but those make a really small portion of your damage and you gain that back by allowing BiP to tick with higher Blight for longer.




Big thanks to DanerDragon for letting me use his lit gamer setup to record this benchmark,
and Iskarel for his imperishable patience, moral support and mainly also editing this video :D
