1.8 36/30 Guide Discussion Thread

[Rexer]

Well it sounds like you guys are talking about a rotation that has complexity in between Method #1 and #2 used in my guide.

Just to back up rexer on this one, he explained in the other thread very clearly that you either go easy mode with 36/30, because goin optimal.. well you might as well play 38/28.

So when ur not using ur IC button on 36/30, when you go into heatwave, you automaticly turn SD on and spam fireball (which doesnt have the notactivemacro) and after heatwave you start with a full chargebar.

Hmm, maybe you should make 3 methods then:

method 1: 38/28 pro
method 2: 36/30 with lifeleech refreshin with voidbolt, and SD/IC alternating every 15sec
method 3: 36/30 easymode

[Rexer]

Yeah that's almost exactly what I thought about doing. Interestingly enough, last night in ID I used the ez-mode 36/30, because it has good AOE, and I ended up pumping out pretty good ST damage when it came time for it. I mean even though it's watered down, it's still higher dps than the method used in my 1.7 guide, which was considered to be very effective.

Aye, am aware of that Fridge. It's just that HW and Defile P/L has quite different situational uses.

But yea, the HW P/L is doing quite well. Defile and HW are even closer now (about 1-200 dps difference on dummies). So I'd definitely approve of your three methods suggestion

Well for the first boss, regardless if your helping on the aoe, 36/30 is better because of the fast targetswitching. However on minibosses and 3rd boss, 38/28 is definitely better.

Hi, I just built this spec, and I was wondering why IC hasn't been put into a macro with Fire storm, it seems slightly easier.
Also, when I rebuffing all my DoTs, do I keep IC on for the full GCD or do I turn it off in between them?

What AoE? :P

The mini-bosses are so ridiculously easy so I think we can more or less count them out :/

[Rexer]

pinny- using inactive macros, you can just let IC fade off. You could also manually turn it off after each dot, which may give you a bit more dps.

[Rompido]

k I checked it out. i was right it doesn't

[kaywary]

During the "Spam Heat Wave macro" apply Countdown aswell?
Yeah I'am lazy.
