Crap, that's a lot of work, but yeah. Hurricane and I would presume Ring of Ishtar have delays of 300ms when switching to other skills. I'll look into this.
Alright, I've run a calculation that accounts for both Legendary Spear and Multi-Sniping's cool downs, as well as Ring of Ishtar's 300ms delay when switching skills. I've also corrected the gross overestimation on the 0% PDR monster from ~5900%/s to ~5000%/s
The result is: 2831.0%/s without Sharp Eyes, and 3293.5%/s with Sharp Eyes, assuming optimal Cool down Scenarios. Part of the issue with this, as experienced with Marksmen is Multi-Sniping will not cool down at exactly 10 seconds. Legendary Spear is calculated to be used as close to but never overreaching 15 seconds so its defense reduction can be applied to itself. It still may stand that Legendary Spear's defense reduction may not last 15 whole seconds on bosses, and be reduced to some lower duration, like Hero's Blind from Panic.
In the case of no Multi-Sniping, 3206.2%/s with Sharp Eyes. I'm also amending the other Archer %/s to account for the order of operations with Legendary Spear. I apparently made an extreme overestimation with Fastest (2) Marksman fitting in one more hit without adding the time it took for that hit. I am terrible sorry for this.
