I use Arm first on AE fights as well. It's been doing pretty well for me. I had a 9k ZW in PR a little while back. I was actually at 9.9k going into the last named but unfortunatly I died and of course reflect stage of the fight cost me a higher parse. Oh well, was still good enough for me. This was probably a couple weeks ago, and we haven't gone back since. I don't have the parse to post but, anyone who counts enough to give me their opinion on it has all ready seen it. lol

my highest is about 8200zw at 85-90 crit all m1'd , a paly, tc and troub. on the big encounter I can peak at 14k, hold up to 10 and it drops off to around 8k when only a couple of mobs are up.

As for casting order I usually start with a pre gift and neth realm then broodings, ae debuff, FC, blast arm cast an early caty and rotate that when its up amongst our aes..focused casting of course

some more crit gear so I can interchange some faster cast time items should get me up there. a choker would help too

meh, peaking is fun, but doesn't mean a ton... i generally peak between 22k and 26k on the big group. same dmg order as the first 4 mobs.

does anyone have a new cast order for t8?

im not making much sense out of the existing threads due to the nature of old bungled data in numerous spots and i'm half awake.

im looking for a solid starting rotation for the most part. ive done a bit of experimenting and i have some ideas but i'm looking for something a bit better. up my shoddy parses :/

Xede

this thread should have something posted by saltaf for T8 actually...just read through the thread.

Nuff said.

I personally run Brood right after vaccum chamber because my spell haste usually has me at the end of my order without anything better to cast. But then again, I only use Brood when they're not going to die in 2 seconds so ya have to know when it's right if you deside to throw it in your order as well.

ty much /nods

helpful forum btw i might add.

On that list above I would put acid right after acid storm on most pulls, because it is unresistable. I would put vaccuum and normally distortion ahead of aura because aura is subjugation which I have much lower than disruption, so better to wait a little bit to let debuffs go in.

If you have mythical then FH/Arma is probably better before distortion on single target, especially if you have 2-set VP, but since I don't have that yet, I prefer distortion first to help with cast order later in the fight. It also depends how long the fight will be, if just over a minute so FH will be up again, burn it ASAP. If around a minute cast sooner to get a second Arma in, etc. If 30 s fight, get distortion and/or brood in first since Arma won't be up again this fight (brood to get more ticks in).

Finally, Flames is much higher dps than encase, in fact, higher than Absolution. Still might be worth casting Absolution first due to cast order issues (to make it come up sooner and avoid casting dissolve). It depends somewhat on your cast haste vs. reuse numbers as well. Play with it but just keep the raw efficiencies in mind.
