But the question is, what range does it take for MF's non-DOT attack to reach cap damage each hit? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's considerably less than 999,999 - maybe around 700k-ish, with 100% bossing+ or 100% ignore def. With a 700k range, MF's DoT is about 4.9 mil each tick. So you're kind of correct that I underestimated MF's DoT, but you've overestimated it to 10mil each hit.That amounts to 206,999,994 damage per 90secs or 2,299,999 damage per second, or 2.3 capped hits per sec. With the max range scenario, that amount reaches 2,999,998~ per sec, or about 3~ capped hits per sec.
Compared to Lightning Sphere, which maxes out at 90mil per 90 sec, or 1mil per sec, which is 1 capped hit per sec. Lets not forget that during that 9~ secs you spend on the skill, you won't have any additional dps due to channeling. It probably wins out at mob bosses like Empress I suppose.
On another note, does ignore pdr affect DoTs as well?
