So I'm guessing the 1CA/2CA thing is related entirely to what kind of gear you have, not as a definitive rule for legendary tanks also. I did some testing and got entirely different results than most of you, but I'm pretty sure its cause I'm missing the gear.

My setup: I'm fully mastered, and did tests with my mythical and the buckler from soh on the dummy. I don't have a good off hand weapon and I parsed lower with a master crafted weapon so I ended up using the buckler. My jewelry is pretty bad, some soh stuff and some tso legendary. My gear is the fabled tso gloves, bracer, boots. The rest is the T2 legendary set. All parses done in offensive stance.

So trying just the 1CA method my parses averaged around 2115. Trying the two CA method I parsed around 2250 on average. Doing the mortal combat spam method and keeping everything down I parsed just below 2400 constantly, however I was out of power near the end but still parsed higher.

I also tested the same methods but if accleration strike was ready I would hit any 3 cas that were ready. And likewise if executioners was ready I would pair it with decimate or mar. This increased all three methods by 50-70 dps.

In palace the higest I get on trash on 5900ish, but my average 4.4 - 4.5k in offense with myth and buckler. I try the 3 different methods in there but none of them seem to consistently increase/decrease my dps in a predictable fashion.

So after all that said is the 1 CA method only effective if you have access to the best gear in the game? Would you have time to try the same thing I did Faltor with your gear?

Curious... do you not have a good off hand weapon? Or have you noticed that you parse better with the SoH shield?

I would almost think that even with a MC off hand weapon you would parse higher than with any shield, but of course I have no basis for that seeing as how I've had the Claw of Khalen for a long while now.

Might wanna make sure if you're using an offhanded weapon that it's a 3 sec delay like your myth or it'll screw up your dps.

Yeah I don't have a good off hand weapon and I've been keeping my eye open for a 3.0 delay weapon but nothing has dropped as of yet. The buckler I definitely parse higher with than the mastercrafted weapon in off hand. The parse was 150 higher on average with the buckler over the MC weapon.

Picked up the silly hammer off Travenro the other day just cause it was a 3.0 delay. Did the same tests and parsed 20 higher on average, lol.

But the 1CA vs. 2CA vs. keeping all the abilities down worked out exactly the same as previously.

I was looking at the assassin parses and they are doing some nice numbers (havent had an assassin in guild for over a year). Anyway I'm just wondering how much toxins adds to your parses for you high end guys. Faltor has an assassin i think but i never see toxins on your parses. So any high enders roll with an assassin and can drop a parse for me?

ps just missed 12k the other day I really need to get some void bane and convince people to fight one mob at a time so I dont spend the last 20% waiting/shooting/taunting/spinning a new mob(doesnt help with them pathing under the floor when they run into the pits). Seems like taking 5 more minutes would be worth it to actually have some fun on this trash, but thats just me.

Apply toxins goes on my dirge but iirc it does like 500 dps or so.

[stout]

500 is lame :/
