Just getting your guys opinion on the top 5 T8 masters for us, got some good info from worldwide but figured hit up here too.

Thanks

Delium

In order:

Fatal Followup
Deathblow
Mortal Blade
Pinpoint Blade
Stealth Assault

This is assuming you have Mark at M2 which you should. If for some reason you do not go respec and then look at my list again.

Skratt

Got it
got it
got it
Dont have never seen it
Got it

But yeah absolutely those are your main dps producers

Vydar

You're completely forgetting all of our DoT's and such that are a higher percentage of DPS zonewide.

Scarring Blow, Stealth Assault, Deadly Impale are all critically important also. Scarring Blow is always 8-10% of my zonewide DPS. Especially with the number of mobs that break stealth or prevent combos... proc'ing fears, stuns, stoneskins, etc.

My breakdown is usually:

15% Hemotoxin
15% Auto attack
8% Scarring Blow
7% Stealthed Assault
6% Deadly Impale
5% CoB Proc's
6% Battleaxe of Venom proc
5% Gushing Wound

Then Deathmark, Deathblow, Fatal Follow up, Stealthed attacks all stagger in.

How the heck do you get more zw dps from scarring blow and deadly impale than Deathmark, Fatal Followup etc.? I can see maybe in Thuuga or VS where stealthing is a problem but....
Your dps is breakdown is abnormal imo.

However, as far as top 5 Delium nailed it.

Skratt

Yeah if those arent your top 5 parsers then u doing something wrong

Faabio

Lol w0t?

You are doing it wrong

I'm parsing zonewide 4700+ and hitting higher than 7k on a lot of fights... so I have to be doing something right :|

But then I am pretty rusty on my combos and such, played my zerker as my main up till about a month ago, and I'm often stuck playing defiler and such.

That and being on gimpass Vox, still stuck in Tier 2.

So, in the interest of finding out what I'm doing wrong...

I keep saving Deathblow for when the mob is under 20%, after reflection, that seems wrong to me... should be using it on inc, so it's back up again when mob is at 20%ish.

Fatal Follow Up... I usually use my concealment combo on inc, then hit Fatal Follow up, then use it again whenever I have 2-3 stealthed attacks back up (Pinpoint, Stealthed Assault up the fastest) figuring they're on similar timers.

If we're talking BURST damage, then yes, your list is totally on point. I'm referring to longer fights. I'll pull up some fights that are of proper length and see what my percentages are...

I see the majority of my issue I believe. In a 1 minute 10 sec fight, I only hit death blow and Fatal Follow up once, they both should have been hit twice. Most of my fights are like that. My HARDEST hitting in order are Fatal Follow Up, Death Blow, Mortal Blade...

On another fight where I did it a bit more properly... Mortal Blade, Fatal Follow Up, Death Blow, Moonblade, Pinpoint Blade were my top 5 percentage CA's. Guess I was just looking at the wrong parses for my "top 5"... looking through 4 or 5 more parses, that bears out to be true.

Guess I just looked at the wrong zonewide :-)

i would add <masked strike> to the list at it hits at same rate than pinpoint blade, and it's also one of the best upgrade in dmg.
The combo is up fairly often, increasing the boost in ca between a3 and m1, and increased also by exacting.
on the masters i seek in priority and am ready to pay lot ,those are high on list.
