Heavy specials

Praedyth actually does 15.3k dps, you forgot to take into consideration it doesn't add in boss spec and you can have perks like frenzy on there for a 15%.

But heres the thing whisper doesn't actually gel well with any supers as you'd have to time it perfectly to get say the celestial off at the end or you'd celestial and then waste time scoping in lowering its dps. I don't think many will be able to do that without wasting some dps anyways.

Celestial does about 80k which you can super just before a fight and then add onto praedyths 27shots (double reserves and this actually means praedyth needs to reload twice). The dps actually ends up at 21k since it takes 12.6 seconds to shoot and then a little extra scoping in.

If you were to use whisper the same way then you'd do 80k+ 3seconds scoping in you'd only have enough time to shoot 12shots and you'd only do 260k for 20k again some time for zooming in.

So his point isn't even wrong unless you can time the end of the super. The thing is you can even pair it with a heavy like anarchy or even just a rocket but you cannot so the same with whisper. Whisper has greater total damage but again if you're worried pair it with a heavy. Whisper also needs perfect crits which can work but not always

So while you're numbers for acrius,whisper and darci aren't wrong they aren't really always going to be the case and you can end up with praedyth actually competing as who's to say you are popping bubble/well beforehand and zooming in before the dps phase or using a damage super?
