Hi Thank you for this..even thou i lost track half way threw i think i can use what little i gleaned from this well thought out rotation to make me more efective.

[Blastoyz]

That is an incredible rotation - it manages to include all your skills and buffs and the usage times perfectly with cool downs.
+rep for sharing this
Are you on dwarrowdelf? I'd love some advice.

[Celembar]

The sad thing is that you didn't even keep up Orome debuff the whole time. Such a fail

[Mercho]

Thank you for posting this. I was wondering what CD free Piercing Cry looked like in action.

[Calta]

Combat Analysis would have been good to post here to show us the actual damage per skill and why this is better than other options...But yeah. opening with CotC is a no brainer. And yeah, no Orome up and no Call to Fate crits seems odd?
Of course, you could just be pointing out to us noobs what the moors set bonus plus an imbued LI with the PC maxed and a high crit rating can do to PC . ie no cd and lots of crits. but that's just a guess...


[edit: for the record this stinks, is broken ,and needs fixing asap)

I just love it when people call themselves pro.

I gotta go with Calta on this. Stinks. Broken. Needs fixing ASAP.

While we're on topic, wardens need something done to their 0s mastery in yellow line.

Not that it's op or anything. In fact, there are probably no range wardens in pvp anyway.

but god it's boring as ####

[Calta]

as per this thread. This must be fixed and the PvP/QA devs may actually do something. (Fingers crossed).

What makes it broken is ability to use it in blue line in pvp and interrupt, dps itself wont be higher than ordinary way.

Why is everyone taking this seriously? Not like he actually meant anything of it....it's just an lol he wanted to post >.>

Warden's having 0s cd on masteries in yellow line is completely off topic.....warden as a class itself is completely off topic in the Minstrels sub forums lol
While we're off topic, you can just untrait the yellow capstone and have normal cds if it is so boring for you to play with 0s cd on masteries. You're welcome.

Make it instant skill tbh and let the macroing begin so minis can play while holding a cig in one hand and a beer on the other.

[gunlang]

I just want to know what turbine "developers" are smoking, because i want to try it too.

You mean you don't do this already?

what makes using a combination of set bonuses broken? if using set bonuses makes things broken then go on your creeps and take every trait that has a set bonus off, also dont use gear or jewelry that has a set bonus because thats broken too.

regardless it is in fact quite the nerf in terms of stats
tact mastery is significantly reduced, mits are nerfed hard due to lack of essence gear.
the tradeoff is significant, you gain in DPS what you lose in survivability

It's the result that's broken, not the way you obtain it.
0s cd interrupt is broken, as it means you can just spam and have nothing get through, no need to actively react.
0s cd corruption removal is broken, for the same reason as interrupts, and the fact that corruption removal is supposed to be a group effort, but with this it no longer is.
A skill rotation relying on spamming 1 button is broken, as it gets boring quick.. this already was the case with bolster courage breaking mini healing, now it also applies to DPS, and certain utility (interrupt, CR, stuns).

in the moors the 6 bonus for phys mast allows the next DPS skill to cost no power, however (for instance the defiler for heals) anything else wont cost any power either, so essentially you can get the 6 phys mast set bonus proc and heal away
this works somewhat the same way, it may not work as it was once intended but its not game breaking.

Actually it doesnt improve your dps anywhere (but on blue and yellow traits), just to spam pc your single target dps is way lower than well build one with good rotations.

Yep, you can easly get 10k DPS single target on those dummies using all your skills with minstrel in a pure dps setup (similarly squishy). But i guess this is very good vs induction classes since its constant interrupts.

That seems to be a little out of whack. I am still looking for a good red mini rotation. I will stick with mine I guess until I can find something better.....this video is not that.

[Banaticus]

As it says in the video's description, Im more than happy to share my rotation.

1) How'd you get those off so fast?
2) Why do you have three piercing cry icons?
