Hey everyone. I play Yazupi, 70 Shadowknight on the Nektulous server. Sorry if this has already been posted, but from the hour i spent looking on the site for an answer I have yet to find one.

So anyway, I currently just speced STR, AGI, STA, and INT. Problem being, I don't know when to cast what. I have my own CA rotation at the moment, which is only allowing me to put out 500-1k dps... See my delima? I'm wanting to be able to maximize my DPS, considering I feel like an absolute freak when it comes down to doing the damage I'm wanting to put out.

If anyone has any suggestions on a good CA Rotation, please enlighten me. Looked all over the web, and this site. Thanks for your help!

I usually open with heroic op > -WIS attack > AE taut (disease debuff) > big DD > dots+DD's+debuffs as I feel. Of course spacing things out to time the auto-attacks. I'll pull with TSO end line essence drain, or despoiling mist line, or maybe STR tap depending on how things are lining up.

I always start with chastisement ( grp taunt ), then hateful slam ( shield bash ), anguish ( wis debuff ) then load up the dots, then DD's.

if your doing 500-1k dps this has nothing to do with ca rotation

Death Touch--> Auto Attack--> Death Touch. Rinse and repeat for effective, efficient results.

500-1k dps is your auto attack, pushing any buttons at all, is guaranteed 3-4k nowadays

I'm solo right now (56 SK - my other tank) for the most part.

When I'm starting and don't need to worry about socials, I start off with the Wrath (in my case Baleful Wrath) for a slow and opening 1k dmg (avg), then when the mob is making it's way to me it gets Siphon Might followed by the encounter taunt/debuff.
Now it's close so it gets Agonizing Cry (Anguish)/Wis debuff to lower resists followed by my chain of DoT's/ToT's (Taunt over Time), allowing the auto attacks to go off, course.

When I do need to pay attention to social aggro, I toss up the blessing and body pull. Moving back if I think I can do so I through up my Siphon Might then if I'm still moving back while I'm positioning I taunt/debuff. Then it's usually my regular rotation after that.

This is just on most mobs. If I'm going up AoE nuts, then I run through the crowd, collecting up a couple of encounters...hammer ground, throw up my blessing, Doom Aura, Unending Aura (Painful Aura), then whatever...Circle or tap veins if needed. I tend to use Sacrament sparingly - because I'm normally solo, I already got the hate.

If only Death Touch wasn't on a 5 min cooldown..... Hmmmmm......

Druuna

painful aura is the sex, but seriously start with the encounter taunt, less disease mit, means harder hitting spells / ca's from the start

my DT is on 4 min 4 sec recast! HAHA! and druuna i hope u mean for a lvl 70 sk for their auto attack to be 500-1k cuz if thats what urs does then HAHA! oh, and i start with devouring mist!
