  1. Anyone use this?
  2.  
  3. Disclaimer: I'm assuming no opportunity procs and no raid buffs.
  4.  
  5. Shaeyl's: (SL:D)FB,CD,SV,Def,DT,LL<2s>
  6.  
  7. Mine: FB(SL:D)SV,Def,LL,CD,DT<2s>
  8.  
  9. Explanation
  10. -------------
  11. --I don't understand why Shaeyl (and Xano) starts with SL:D, when he advocates the casting animation can have a negative impact on your DPS. So, I made the starter combo pair consistent with the rest.
  12.  
  13. --Next, SV is the weakest DoT. I use it for building charge necessary for Defile.
  14.  
  15. --Next, Defile for the 4-piece buff.
  16.  
  17. --Next, LL is the strongest of all the leftover DoTs.
  18.  
  19. --Next, CD is stronger than DT. Also, CD at this point starts when Flame Bolt is about to come up, so it's a possible extra combust. In Shaeyl's starting rotation, you would have to wait 5 GCDs (assume no opp.) + Firebal's travel time before that possible combust proc from Flame Bolt for CD. In my rotation, CD gets the possible combust proc added earlier, and it's located closer to the end of the DoT rotation, next to when you're going to have time to throw out those Fireballs for more combust procs.
  20.  
  21. Format:
  22. [Ability]
  23. (GCD or cast time)
  24.  
  25. Stated another way (each instant animation is 0.3s),
  26. Shaeyl's:
  27. SL:D
  28. Flame Bolt
  29. (1.5)
  30. CD (reference time = 0s)
  31. (1.5)
  32. SV
  33. (1.5)
  34. Def
  35. (1.5)
  36. DT
  37. (1.5)
  38. LL
  39. (1.5)
  40. ***7.5s total at this point. CD will not receive the possible combust proc from the next Fireball**
  41. Fireball (2s + travel time)
  42.  
  43. Mine:
  44. Flame Bolt
  45. SL:D
  46. (1.5)
  47. SV
  48. (1.5)
  49. Def
  50. (1.5)
  51. LL
  52. (1.5)
  53. CD (reference time = 0s)
  54. (1.5)
  55. DT
  56. (1.5)
  57. Fireball (2.5)
  58. ----------------
  59. After Fireball, Priority System starts here with Flame Bolt being the 1st ability.
  60.  
  61. See with mine you get two possible combust procs, compared to Shaeyl's one.
  62.  
  63. Summary:
  64. At the cost of an easier starting rotation and, as a a consequence, the removal of DoT blocks in the Priority System, you will get more DPS due to an extra possible combust proc; Defile's buff affecting an extra DoT (CD); and CD overall being much stronger due to that extra possible combust proc and Defile's buff.
