Maximizing Hate/DPS through Casting Order

Defiant · 01-11-2009, 12:07 PM

I have yet to see a post where people have discussed or posted their casting "priority" and order of CA's.

What are some of the set-ups you all use? I'll post mine when I get off work later today. If there is another thread with this info that I have overlooked I apologize and please re-direct me.

Just use obliterate first, then Int 2nd to get its benifits fast, then the litle reuse CA and then you'r big hits CA (You need to always have something up to shoot between autoattacks). But maybe all that will change in the new LU since the hate mechanics will change. People will use taunts sooner.

This will probably change come GU 51.

Spell rotation depends on many things. Mine is primarily setup for raiding hence all the debuffs up front.

Pre-Pull:
1)Bind Wound
2)Tend Wounds
3)Fortify
4)Reinforcement

Arrow pull if possible.

Post-Pull:
1)Defensive Minded (casting and reuse speed)
2)Acceleration Strike (casting speed)
3)Decimate (debuff)
4)Retaliatory Strike (debuff)
5)Trespass (debuff)
6)Seperate (debuff)
7)Head Trauma (debuff)
8)Master Strike (debuff) if valid target
9)Executioner's Wrath
10)Mar
11)Sentinel Strike
12)Lay Waste (siege if 3 or more mobs)
13)Exact Strike
14)Staggering Charge
15)Bayle's Strike
16)Overmatch
17)Gut Kick
18)Sneering Assault
19)Infraction
20)Slanderous Assault

I keep all of my temp buffs and no-damage taunts on my 3rd and 4th bars and use as needed which is rarely. I also use my heroic opp every chance I get.

I'm always looking for any way to improve my toon so any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I macro overmatch with my HO. so you hit overpatch it pops it up and you finish it with a taunt. Not sure how much it helps but its alittle more hate anyway.

Umm what is Bayle's strike? and why executioners strike down at 9?

Right befor marr. as it should be imo. others might do it diff but i dont.

Anap KaSplat · 02-01-2009, 06:34 PM

I'd swap #3 and #2 tbh.

Bayle's strike is a human racial attack.

I also lead off with decimate just incase my taunt was resisted... don't have defensive minded yet, been a slacker and took a couple months off so short on AA.

Saladin · 02-02-2009, 07:33 AM

I always use executioners wrath early on, sometimes its 3rd or 4th on my order of casting. also, always start off with deci then accln strike. i only use reinforcement+siege if have multiple mobs and losing aggro or if i get more than 3, like adds etc. rest is pretty much similar.
