Perhaps you missed the part where cross-posting is against the rules. If people didn't answer the first time, there's usually a reason.

Original Post:

I posted this in the simple questions thread but didn't get any answers so I'll post it here too. I asked if our 4 piece bonus was actually any good or not and I ended up testing it on my own but wanted help analyzing the results.

Ok I actually kinda tested this on my own but I was curious for input.... I tested on a dummy both with, and without 4 piece bonus and these were my results. I only shot Steady Shot and Auto Shot while in viper, I probably should have done serpent too now that I think of it to make it more realistic.

Time from approx. 0 mana to full with 4 piece - ~29 seconds
Time from approx. 0 mana to full without 4 piece ~32-33 seconds

So assuming you're in Viper from 0 mana to full mana (I have 11k mana) this will save you 2 GCDs while in Viper?

This is just what I thought to test, anyone else want to point out something I did wrong or should have done instead? And if these results are sufficient, does this mean 4 piece bonus is pretty bad assuming you don't have mana issues?

Someone told me to check DPS in both too so a quick test and not super carefully done showed me...

DPS with 4 piece - 1441 dps
DPS without 4 piece - 1335 dps

Which changes things a little...
