Flowing Wound has a longer recast than a duration so that isn't a worry, for our other dots I refresh them as they come up as the initial damage is much higher than the dot ticks.

My method of DPSing AE encounters is exacting when you get a 5 count, use assailing blast, promptly following the CA your ranged auto attack triggers, use survailance as they close to melle range, to avoid taking agro and to prepare to cast cloaked assault, use masked attack and killing blade (start recast countdown asap) put up mark and proceed to stack dots and tab through targets utilizing the lowered recast from exacting to not only keep flowing wound, scraping blow and deadly wound stacked but also in light of hemotoxins new found glory, keeping that maintained on the targets as well. I hold off on using concealment until one target remains, generally by this point the mob is nearly dead from splash AE damage and dots, so i chain all my back stabs in short order (which should include killing blade again by this point) and finishing blow.

Aye, all thats been said applies, juts depends on the encounter really, on trash that dies fast i try to maximize dots since i can only use backstabs once and on longer fights where i think i can get the back stabs out twice or more i start with them. . . theres no set rules really imo, just gotta go with it.

Kind of what I do minus the a blast part. Kind of obvious to see arrow (daggers)to fly thro the air while the MT is rushing in to pull. Don't think it is worth the risk and aggrivation from MT.

From what I read and understand, and I could be wrong is that excessive bleeding is much more benefitial then repeating stabbing as it decreases the over all health of the mob by 1 to 3 percent. However since it dont show up on the parse, so it looks like no benefit.

So I guess its, do you want to look good personally or do you want to benefit the raid. I guess most will pick looking good.

though if you ever solo, I do on down times cause its a great way to make money, bleeding line rules.

Stinkfinger

after you dot the first target and the dots are down, what do you do?
cause there is like what 20 or 30 seconds before they are up again? after you dot the first target and the dots are greyed you target the next and wait? what if exciting is down I forget the recaste but i think its a few mins anyway.

also again I think it boils down to -- doing what benefits the raid most or looking peronally good on the parse. In mutilple encounters you want to burn one down as fast as possible to limit the mob dps. where as this style is more boost my personal numbers. And I am not saying thats wrong or right it just depends on how challenging the encounter is I guess.

I think the Parse is the best and worst part of this game.

Sorry but the benefits from E.B. are too fuzzy for me. Who really knows if they're working or not? R.S. has noticable benefits. Also, if you have multiple assassins, do they stack? I don't think so.

Find 2 of the same exact mobs(same level of course) kill one without any bleeds then kill the next with them up. ACT will show a hp difference

Stinkfinger

they clearly make a huge difference soloing with solo mobs,,,,as far as epics and heroics go, I dont know.
