Fire DPS Parses

[PerfectApproach]

I think you can stop flogging the dead horse already. The horse is not only dead and skinned, it has been burried and eaten by worms. There is nothing left to flog!

Then I shall beat the grave he is buried in!

*) FR is the main contributor to fire damage. (about 1.5x-2x the #2 contributor)

Always has been, and TBH, it wouldn't be my first choice. WoF would be #1, if I had a choice.

*) MF is the second highest contributor to fire damage.

Usually is. It was before RoI too, although I think it changed before U6.

*)would love to see a threat nullifying effect added: iEoF - the next skill have no induction and generates no threat.

I dig it.

*) SmW is freaking awesome once it gets going

/agree

I didn't think of how the instant MF could be used to swap power for attunement. Tricky that one! If I have 15+ cooldown reduction from the legacy I can hit MF 3 times to get to attunement 6, i.e. FR-iEoF-FR-MF-MF-MF-Essence. Sure it won't do any damage at all and will cost a bucket-load of power but there's no faster way (disregarding consumables) to take me from 3->6. In fact, in an AoE situation I might very well go something like: FR-iEoF-FR-MF-TAB-MF-TAB-MF-[select 1st mob again]-Essence-SR-WoC-FR-... just to get threat reduction on the "side trash".

YES!!! MF is GREAT for attunement! In fact, it's EVEN BETTER if you want stay DPS attuned, but quickly get T3 WoH on yourself! You can actually use MF 5 times (to get the MoC buff) before the cooldown on WoH is done! I found that last night, while kiting, you can spam MF on something, get the MoC buff, WoH, spam MF again, WoH T2, spam MF again, WoH T3 in just a few seconds!! Add that to a prelude, and it becomes a VERY good way to stave off death.

On a side note. I didn't remember last night if you used to to Tier-1 or Tier-2 of the Rift skirmish so I tried out t1. The fight was so short it was ridiculous! I didn't even get to SmW before he died. Need to test on Tier-2

Always T2. T1 does go by too fast to be useful for parsing, and stuff kills me on T3.

At least you're consistent

Oh, another neat thing I noticed while healing Roots (yeah, seriously off-topic):

If you hit Self-motivation while you have AFE up you drop to attunement 5 and everyone makes *sad panda* face when you loose AFE. HOWEVER! If you queue up prelude or an instant Writ of Health while Self-Motivation is inducting... you go 9 -> 5 ->[immediately] 6 and AFE doesn't drop! I guess this is a glitch and not WAI and depends heavily on your network lag being low enough. Anyway, it's a neat feature if it is WAI

It's been like this for a while. I've noticed that it would do that (pre-U6) when I'd use DNF Flame and Blade will not Wound. That would be enough to lose AFE, but AFE didn't stop channeling. But it only worked intermittently though; sometimes it would still drop, even if I had Prelude queued up. Sometimes, it would stay active for a few seconds after; I had time for a Rousing Words. Never could figure out what the exact conditions were that caused it to remain active.

This has been happening since Update 5, usually with iPtH, although it can be done now with a WoH indeed. Anything to keep the crits coming .

On the other side, i was checking and for healing ownage, you can cast the new armaments of storm on yourself, and activate OFE... meaning you will be getting around 2750 crit rating plus 3% crit chance. This would get you close to 25% crit chance on heals, which is awesome as even small heals will contribute alot on HPS. Try it using RW... <3.

Healing is SO fun now, ... don´t get me wrong, it was fun before. But now you have tools for almost every situation. Once the threat issue is solved, i´m sure we will be very pleasured RK players going on.
