DFT vs Comet - Am I missing something???
Comet seems more popular currently, likely because of the better ap ratio. Also using red card on minions to poke and hit comet is more effective with comet than dft (because of aoe). But in extended trade dft seems better because it doesn't have a cd.
But isn't the damage from DFT just better? At level 1, with dorans ring, it seems comet does 16 damage and dft does 14. Then consider comet is on 20 s cooldown. If you get off three w's (assuming instant pull - which is the conservative estimate because if you choose blue or gold, this damage is increased even more), you proc dft for 4s, 4s, and 2s, (expected distribution for instant pulls), you're doing 35 damage with dft compared to the 14 you would be doing with comet by doing the same thing. Then on the fourth w, dft has done a total of 49 damage while comet is on 32 still. The only time comet seems to win is when you're poking with q and only hitting once every 20 seconds. And still if you manage to get one w in during that 20s interval, dft wins again!
Am I missing something about the way this works? Also I feel like I choose sorcery primary when I'm against short range champs that I have a chance to solo-kill, but I don't want to lock myself into electrocute (electrocute for melee, spellbook for most control mages). It seems that comet is the most common rune on tf and dft is niche, but I feel like it should be the other way around. Thoughts?
Edit: I accidentally used base ad for bonus ad on the ratios. Comet does 16 every 20s. DFT does 14 damage for every single target w you hit and 10 damage for q or red card poke. I'm going to go back and change the original text. Just know that herejust4thehentai (lol) is correct in his comment, and they found my mistake.
