IMPORTANT:

My "cast time" here is the amount of time before the cooldown starts going down
again. Some attacks like Thunder Greeting hit a bit before the cooldown starts
going down. For example,
thunder greeting is a 3s cast but it takes 4s before the cooldown starts again. My
calculations would use the 4s in that example since it is what determines the
actual DPS in the end.

Really short cast times can be really hard to chrono, so I've written
"approximately" next to every cast time. They COULD be wrong, but they don't change
much of the end result. EVEN the cooldowns
might not be 100% spot on, but they should be close enough to compare the fruits.

I might add more fruits to this list, but for now I was really doubtful with the
myth that Rumble is the best PVE dps and gum only #4, so I only compared the two of
them cause I happened to know
someone who had the exact same stats (650 DF stat points and 278 mastery) on his
Rumble fruit.

This doesn't take range or mobility into account, only pure DPS if you perfectly
use your skills as soon as they're ready and you successfully hit.

WINNER : GUM-GUM

So no, Rumble is not #1 dps and gum-gum is not #4 , I really don't know where that
comes from, but gum-gum has a better DPS than Rumble EVEN if you have maxed rumble
with 500 mastery instead of 425.
Maxed rumble's DPS isn't even as high as my mastery 278 gum-gum...

Maybe it would be different without Tomoe Rings since the 15% applies ON TOP of the
22.5% of gum's gear 2, making it a 40.875% increase instead of 37.5% increase. But
still, gum has more DPS potential than Rumble, making it
the best PVE fruit in my opinion.

My numbers might not be totally spot-on, but it surely is a good comparison, and
there is extremely little chance that my calculations were so far off that it would
change the winner.

Remember that both fruits are top-tier for DPS, and that gum being the winner
doesn't make Rumble bad in any means... This didn't take the range, the mobility or
the stun effect that Rumble has into account.
