[MH:Wilds] Turns out highest DPS rotation on SA Charge Blade (Beta) is skipping AEDs... so no phial usage. Which is kind of crazy.

Here is the data minded/numbers analysys I got from this guy Monster Hunter channel " Michael MH" so all credits for him for excellent numbers breakdown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WmSuFy8hU4

You can see here that the highest DPS rotation (for Beta) for Savage Axe Charge Blade is ED1->ED2->Rise Slash (or forward+Y/LMB Slash if you need to move) and repeat. He explains there everything, but TLDR:

This is due to fact that ED2 has 8 ticks of Savage Axe extra damage and AED1 and AED2 has long wind up due to morphing that before you finish AED1 you are already in middle of ED1 again. Now there can be a case of stun damage of AED2, however according to testing so far - with elemental damage boost in final game, the ED combo should skyrocket even further ahead.

Anyway, seems kind of crazy how highest DPS rotation doesn't even use phials.... You wonder what's even the point of whole charging/using phial mechanic of Charge Blade of both AEDs and SAED are subpar to just regular EDs.
