Default How do you use CA

So I'm really trying to max out DPS on my Assy for my guild for raiding, but I seem to be stuck on what order and how to use my CA's properly. should I just clear my rows one by one on attacks and invis attacks and then Temp buff for attack speed for melee while I wait for timers or time temp buffs up with Ca's, or Time ca's with melee strikes? What do you guys do.

I normally start with exacting and the spam my Cas without break.
Mark, Dots, Debuffs, and then start Concealment Chain.
After the Concealment Chain I start to time Autoattack with Ca's and maybe use Honed Reflexex and Deadly focus to Push Autoattack.
Also try to make your Concealment chain when the mob is dispatched.
There are many threads about Ca order, timing Cas ... in the Assasin section, where are more infos to find.

Well some things out there are quite general for every scout class..

a) Don't use all your temp buffs at once, spread them among several fights so you do always have something to use every fight
b) you have in general some long-cd CA's and some short cd (the dots). If you can (say, it's not a consealment chain), you should build your spell order around the short-cd low-damage ca's so you always have something to cast a ta given moment. Tho remember that you should fire off your big hitters whole the mob is dispatched
c) generally i wouldn't recommend CA timing for an assasin..your CA's don't suck unlike rouges'

If you do that then your obviously going to fuck up your dps, ofc different CA orders alter your dps.

I generally just use Exacting before pull, Debuffs > Dots > Conceal.

Once you've got all your stealth attacks on downtime, just keep dot's going and debuffs...I usually use Stealth Assault as soon as it's up again to get an extra dps boost before my 2nd Concealment, that way it's on time with Concealment again and you've used it twice instead of once.

Sometimes get fucked up with AoE's so got to be a bit smarter when to use Concealment without getting it broke.

If your raiding, there is no reason to dot before debuffs. It takes all of 1.5 seconds to cast them all.

Bind all your CAs to different letters in the alphabet than proceed to smash your face into the keyboard, I'm sure you'd probably do better dps than you currently do...PLUS you might get some free plastic surgery out of it
