Maximizing Hate/DPS through Casting Order - Page 2

I used to always put executioners right before Mar as well, but it doesn't seem as important since there is always an auto attack between them. Also reiforcement pre pull seem kinda like a waste to me. I usually save it for if/when someone peels.

Outside of having your big hit % ca's first the only real thing of importance is not missing auto attacks (or delaying them)

Since we are still working through the RoK progression some of our raid targets feel kinda hard. ;)

Therefore I always use trespass and separate after decimate to help with the defensive debuffs a bit.

I didn't notice to have issues with hitting acceleration strike so I start with that becase after running decimate, trespass and separate the buff is on me.

After that all the big hits and then whatever comes up again until the mob is dead. As Duct said the most important part in maximizing dps is to not miss auto attacks.

And as Anap said, this will all change once the fighter changes go live but it seems they keep postponing and postponing.

My cast order depends on my role in the raid, as MT I always start off with the 3 1 minute recast CAs to get big damage in quickly and of those I start with decimate to increase the chanse of the other hits landing, then I start with shortest recast to longest recast. Otherwise I will have too many chunks of time where every CA is down.
If I instead am OT or just "DPS" then I use the shortest recast to longest recast which increases DPS slightly and lets me do massive DPS without peeling from the MT from the start.

Lawl me at moving staggering charge up closer to the top of my rotation due to the 4 piece set bonus!

Minor hijack!
To Anap (or whomever):
Yeah, just received the 4th piece last night. Haven't tried it out yet.

What is the % increase in block after the staggering charge? How long does the enhancement last for?

Anap KaSplat · 02-06-2009, 01:24 PM

If you examine staggering charge it will tell you.. in green noless.

Parr · 02-06-2009, 02:16 PM

Doh!
It was late when I did the turn in and didn't bother to check it out.

Thanks for the heads up.

I have been looking around and I do not see Defensive minded, Sentinal Strike, Bayl'es Strike or Sneering assault. My alchemist doesnt have those to make either. Where can I find them?

DM, Sneering and Sent Strike are TSO AA abilities, Bayl'es Strike I believe is a Human racial ability.
