Default Re: Maximizing your DPS

The difference in my parse when paying attention to myth & gear proc/dispatch vs just going with a normal dummy casting order is at least 3k dps on trash and 2k or more on named. Definitely don't get locked in to a specific casting order. Change that shit up depending on what's going on in the raid and with your own procs.

How long ya wait to cast for the Brigand to cast Dispatch, or for Enchanter's PoM, or for myth proc? Also, Myth proc can be triggered by melee dmg CAs. Assuming the Brigand or Chanters are not complete slackasses and the myth proc is not uncommonly being a pain in the ass to get proc'd. I would think a fella would not wait longer than ~7s to ~10s, if even waiting half that.

why would you wait lol? thats a big way to lower your dps. if the brig knows what they are doing dispatch will hit anywhere from 5-10secs in. always has for me anyway. but wiating for dispatch will kill your dps.

waiting 7-10 secs or even half is wasting dps. we dont have huge hits, a few nice hitting attacks but nothing so amazing we have to wait for dispatch to get the most.

Dispatch should be the first CA a Brig uses. Same with Guards and Obliterate.

Yeah, I agree with ya there Dibbis and Kall. Psh, the only wait time should be is pull when we cast pull time CAs/spells. If the Brigand or Chanter don't have the temp buffs up by now, then they are being slackasses. This is why i said "if even half of that" and I was being overly generous in writing that and was wondering how long he actually would wait. lol.

It depends on how many myth procs you're getting and if there are any gaps in dispatch. Just don't blow your wad without both up is what I'm getting at. My myth proc is up roughly 35-40 seconds per minute, so I avoid my bigger attacks when it's not up. Just because something is up doesn't mean it's the best time to use it.

if it's up for 35-40s per minute, it leaves 25-20s per minute to be casting it and have the reuse ticking. Granted, it's not going to be solid blocks of 20s per minute, but you waste enough time looking to see if it's up to even bother waiting for it, just stick to an order and don't mess it up.

Waiting = pointless as dibbis, orani and I would guess kall would even say. I wouldn't wait any time to see dispatch up or suchlike, it's like waiting for everyone to get their debuffs in so that you can hit all ur hits at max, so what you gonna do in the mean time? autoattack?

I suggest being leet with ACT so you don't have to look. Plus, we're talking about 4 attacks here really. It's not too hard to get a little extra bang for your buck. Or don't, I don't care
