Buccaneer skill replacement levels

 Numbers

1)
Barr + DS = 1080+1830 = 2910 miliseconds
Demo = 2340 miliseconds

Barr + DS %DPS = ((230*10)+810)*1000/2910 = 1069% DPS
Demo (level 21) = 310*8*1000/2340 = 1060% DPS

Demo outdamages Barrage+DS at level 22 (1094% DPS)

2)
Blast = 570 ms
Orb = 930 ms

Blast (2) = 2*420*1000/570 = 1474% DPS
Blast (3) = 3*420*1000/570 = 2211% DPS
Blast (4) = 4*420*1000/570 = 2947% DPS

Orb (2, Level 23) = 2*760*1000/930 = 1471%
Orb (3, Level 27) = 3*840*1000/930 = 2204%
Orb (4, Level 30) = 4*900*1000/930 = 2857%
Orb (5, Level 25) = 5*800*1000/930 = 2892%
Orb (6, Level 25) = 6*800*1000/930 = 2892%

Orb is stronger than Blast on 2 monsters at level 24 (1510% DPS)
Orb is stronger than Blast on 3 monsters at level 28 (2256% DPS)
Orb is never stronger than Blast on 4 monsters
Orb is stronger than Blast on 5 monsters at level 26 (2964% DPS)
Orb is stronger than Blast on 6 monsters at level 25 (2892% DPS)

 disclaimer

Orb calculation was shortened to maintain simplicity. I know the real formula for 6 monsters would be
Orb (6) = (900+900*0.8+900*0.8^2+900*0.8^3+900*0.8^4+900*0.8^5)*1000/930
But that would be really annoying to read, wouldn't it?

3)
DS = 1080 ms
Orb = 930 ms

DS (4) = 4*810*1000/1080 = 3000% DPS
Orb (4, Level 30) = 4*900*1000/930 = 2857% DPS

Orb will never be stronger than DS on 4 or more monsters
Orb will only be stronger on 2-3 monsters if it's level 24 or higher
This is moot anyway since DS isn't spammable. You'd likely switch between them.

4)

Monsters	Strike	Orb
1	750%	968%
2	1500%	1742%
3	2250%	2361%
4	3000%	2857%
5	3750%	3253%
6	4500%	3570%

Aw, guess i'm maxing ST after demo since orb isn't as great as i thought.

Thanks a lot.
