Mids doesn't calculate rolling DoTs correctly and never has, afaik. The guys working on it really should change that. I know I've told them at least once. The DoTs do not, in fact, each have an 80% chance to land. Each tick requires that the previous tick have landed so that the first has an 80% (.8 ^ 1) chance to deal damage, the second has a 64% (.8 ^ 2) chance to land, and so on.|

Because of this, Fire Blast does not deal ~92 damage. It really deals 86.6 damage. This gives it a DPA of 59.6. CAK has a DPA of 61.1.
Thanks, Umbral. I wanted to answer this, and I was trying to calculate Fire Blast correctly, and I THOUGHT that's how it was calculated, but then the numbers I had on my Tanker spreadsheet didn't match that OR Mids'. No idea what I did wrong on that spreadsheet. I need to fix it to avoid confusing myself in the future.
