Also, I didn't know how you figured out the length of time to make average hits/sec because obviously you do significantly different dps in the first 10 seconds of using seeker than then you're past 30 seconds worth of building up, so I figured I'd ask.
Kaiser's Dragon Slash has some ridiculous 45.8~48.5hits/s, and Soul Seeker - Make Up only gets up to 40.5hits/s at base speed.
It's also the average damage over a length of time. It doesn't matter that the first few seconds the DPS dealt is lower because the propagation of orbs hasn't occurred, just like it doesn't matter that in the first 0.809ms of Normal (6) attacks, you've dealt no damage.
The total raw damage dealt from a single Soul Seeker - Make Up is about 15600% spread over however long it takes to propagate ~39 times. Each time you attack, you're adding another 15600%, but it is spread over the total number of average propagations. The time where you do significantly lower damage because all your orbs haven't propagated only occurs once per new engagement, and the same thing could be said for if you stop attacking if the enemy isn't dead, where damage is being dealt from pre-existing orbs where you're doing absolutely nothing.
Let's say it does take 10 seconds for all ~39 hits to be dealt, and you are seduced after attacking for a minute. In the first 10 seconds of the fight, you've done some number of hits/s that is less than the number of hits/s you're dealing after the 10 seconds. Up to the moment you're seduced, you're still attacking, generating orbs. Thus, the orbs that are still bouncing around while you're jumping away or what have you are dealing damage without you attacking, and they are indeed dealing the same amount of hits that you've "lost" from the first 10 seconds where you did not have the full number of orbs active. The only difference is that when a monster dies and there are no other targets, this damage from the first 10 seconds is lost, over however long the boss fight was. Is that a significant amount of damage? Probably not, unless you're the person setting a world record for Zakum in which case you're OHKOing with Supernova alone.
