I think you should compare your numbers to these. http://parsely.io/parser/leaderboard/all/engineering/1500000/all/live/0/ http://parsely.io/parser/operations/corruptor-zero/8/HM/dps/all/engineering/all/live/0/ http://parsely.io/parser/operations/grobthok/8/HM/dps/all/engineering/all/live/0/ http://parsely.io/parser/operations/torque/8/HM/dps/all/engineering/all/live/0/ http://parsely.io/parser/operations/the-underlurker/8/HM/dps/all/engineering/all/live/0/

In light of our last sale failure is upping price to 50mil so you should probably make a deal with 4/5.

Can i ask you how much alacrity you are running? You have a much higher apm than I am used to seeing and i dont think your 3 uses of power surge account for it.

There we go thank you.

....He is not using your rotation as far as I can tell his dots are applied together while yours are applied in seperate rotations. I am pretty confident that the rotation he is using is credited to Nerevar. Also in 3.0 I did experiment with all of the rotations available to me which included yours and I netted the best results with the zorz rotation. I apologize if you believe I am coming across as a troll that is not my intention, but if you are going to claim that your rotation is equivilant to another dummy parsing and imply that it performs better in raid I would like to see evidence of that, I would prefer you use your own rotation as evidence as well and not claim someone else's as your own.

I should probably add that my problem with your claim is that you are unwilling to provide any empirical evidence to back it up. So it is actually an opinion/theory that you are presenting as fact.

My request has nothing to do with you putting up a top leaderboard parse I want to see your activations of abilities specifically how many rapid shots you use in comparison to the zorz rotation. So like one perfectly executed rotation would work fine the actual dps/ttk doesn't matter.

Can i ask for a link to a parse where your rotation is executed perfectly? My main problem with your claiming that the rotation matches/exceeds the zorz rotation is that i see no evidence of that, I don't see your rotation on any leader boards unless you can point me to them. From what i recall though is that the rotations similar to yours tend to have quite a few more rapid shots in them, which would offset the gain of using thermal det on cooldown(I could be wrong on this point its just something I recall from when i was researching rotations in 3.0)

I disagree with this statement for several reasons. Primarily because your rotation does not take advantage of the new IO buff very well while the zorz rotation does. You only have one set power shot in your rotation which means during any time you are not heat ramping you only take advantage of the power shot buff once and wasting a large number of stacks in the process. I also believe your opener to be suboptimal because anytime you seperate dots in your rotation you either do not have 100% uptime or you are forced to clip your dots at some point.

Yes you are correct it is very finicky. Here is an example of me failing at it pretty bad http://www.twitch.tv/sevenfaced/v/55311818

So in addition to what the above posters are saying cover functions as the direction your character is facing, so say your cover is pointed toward a 9 aberration when it explodes you will not be knocked back. In practice this functions so that while aberrations are exploding you can get into cover while facing them and get a cull or sos off for instance. I will warn you it is tricky and easy to mess up. I will try to save a video next time i sniper revan if i cannot find one. I will say i am not the best at it though.

I would say you are basically pulling exactly your weight as far as killing core before enrage. If all of your dps stay alive I would imagine you should have no issues while pulling those numbers. I am guessing with you doing 800k that the rest of your dps are not staying alive. I imagine your going to run into issues anytime that is the case. For the sake of completeness I will tell you that the dps in my group all perform well above 5k+ and we can easily kill core with a few members dead for most of core phase. If you are hitting hard enrage though that has much more to do with the time you spend on floor 1 and 2. If you are concerned about your dps output i would suggest you practice strafing it will increase your dps a great deal. Just as a ballpark pt/mara are probably best core dps both can achieve 5.5k+ while strafing. Merc/sniper/rest of the melee are probably next best and can hit 5k+ while strafing(cover positioning for sniper). From what i have seen sorcs are the weakest core damage class and struggle the most with core dps but should still be capable of 4.5k. Here is s super old video to demonstrate strafing (3.0) https://www.twitch.tv/sevenfaced/v/18299573

Ohh I just thought of another option and thought it would be fun to confuse you further. If you are still too far off enrage with the previously mentioned strat you can have one Mara and one sniper on each tank. Have the Mara on firebrand and the two snipers focus firebrand(still double dot), while the final Mara puts his dps on stormcaller this will increase the dps of the Mara on stormcaller by a decent margin because he will be able to utilize cloak of pain throughout the fight. After firbrand goes sub 20% you continue as I previously stated but you have stormcaller much lower. As promised our most resent kill you should not switch back to firebrand like we do. http://www.twitch.tv/sevenfaced/v/53688730

Your pretty much correct, what I actually expect to happen for you guys is burn firebrand to 20% switch to all on storm. You will hit hard enrage closer to dead the better as soon as enrage hits I recommend you pop a sniper shield that should cover 6 of your 8 raid members continue to do mechanics normally until storm dies. This will trigger a different enrage from firebrand and spawn a final shield on his side everyone should get under the shield ranged DPS hit firebrand while melee/tanks take care of adds. Also after firbrands normal rain of missles channel finishes he will take normal damage so should be pretty quick to burn the last few % at that point. Ohh should also mention that the missiles outside the sheild hurt like a ***** during enrage so pop defensives and get to that shield fast.

That is correct you as a sniper should be focusing firebrand until 20% but you should also be maintaining dots on stormcaller for better dps output. You can actually push either, but DD is hard to deal with if you have people on firebrand and that will still be going off also maras cloke of pain will proc off the DD dot so that will help you meet the dps check. I will highlight our last kill when I get home and post it for you, I believe the footage is still up in the archives of my twitch channel.
