Say you finish a parse and you get 6 straight Killer's Blades that crit for 40k.
Then you do another and you get 10 that don't crit, for 25k.
That's a ~4 second difference in your parse, and particularly on the 3mil dummy that 4 seconds makes a *massive* difference in your DPS. A 70-second parse is ~43k DPS; a 74-second parse is ~40.5k.

Yeah, that seems to be the case.
40K is good enough for any vet trials though, correct?
I’m over seeing people talk about cheesing a dummy when all you are doing is providing yourself with the pen and buffs you would receive from the group anyway. If you hit 40k on a dummy then swap tfs and the pen points out to master at arms. When you receive that pen for free from the tank and other DD. With the exact same rotation you will undoubtedly hit more than 40k. Then factor combat prayer SPC and easier sustain from your healers master Resto... the whole cheese the dummy response is annoying and comes from people who lack the skill to ‘cheese the dummy’.
40k is great dps and you will fit in any vet trial. As you are probably aware though your Nb is capable of a little more if you chase war machine set.
