I think the combo I'm looping here is the best DPS for the glaive when you can't reliably get all the hits from rising spiral slash. Triangle > hold Circle > triangle > Release Circle is the shortest loop. You can do a third hit of triangle before releasing Circle to get extra hits in, which with a stun kinsect could be the difference between having to dodge or getting a knockdown. It could even be better DPS but I'm not sure. This run was far from optimal, it was only my third attempt at using traps to finish early. I get hit once and have to dodge a couple of attacks, as well as accidentally doing a different combo a couple times that I think is less DPS. I also only get white + orange with the first extract gather, but you can reliably get all 3 if you aim at the ground and shoot it straight on. There is also a closer spawn the monster can get. This could be sub 1'40 pretty easily. Even less if there is some item abuse, and even less if it turns out there's a better DPS loop.
