For those that have juggled their rotation, what are you pulling on a dummy old vs. new? Has anybody seen an increase over pre-5.5? Do you have any parse to support your findings?

Well, you say Budget 3 focus attack, but it replaces a 2 focus attack that you should be using twice per rotation. This makes resource stability a concern on longer fights as you a constantly hemorrhaging focus. Compound that by fights that you may have to move and interrupt your rotation and I can see resource stability breaking viability. Not to mention even with the best graces of crit-jesus, I've only been able to hit 9.5k since the nerf. I see dark times ahead for those of us that don't switch to Vig.

Mostly because I forgot that they "buffed" ( <== as air quotey as possible) Slash.

I had been using Skyesora's rotation to success against a dummy that flirted with 10k. Using the same rotation after the nerf, I struggle in the low 9ks. I have tried replacing FF with Cyclone Slash, Force Sweep, and just keeping FF. CS is a direct replacement with about 500 fewer dps but no loss of resource. Sweep is also about 500 dps loss and you run into resource issues. I tried to account for this juggling ZL around to maximize procs. No dice. Here is my parsing of trial and error to see that I've come back to the original Skyesora rotation and (for now) eating an 800 dps drop. http://parsely.io/parser/view/321599/0

If the issue is that an AoE attack has been found beneficial in a single target rotation, why not give Focus spec a viable single target attack? Replacing 8k elemental damage with 800 energy damage is not an appropriate response. In addition you have greatly reduced our group/mob/multi-target attack. Focus/Rage spec already struggle to be a relevant build in comparison to Vig, look at parse distributions to prove I'm wrong (http://parsely.io/parser/leaderboard/guardian/all/2500000/all/live/0/) and see how many Focus spec are in that listing. Thank you for crippling an already under performing build. Sincerely, Adote, The Ebon Hawk

I spent 2 days camping and killing the spawns at the three location 2 weeks ago. I agree the %rate of the elites needed has been reduced dramatically.

I crafted a stack of blues with the intent of ultimately RE'g them and used one of the crit extras. The effect is in fact defense buff on the Versatility blue stim as the tool tip says. The RE'd purples then switch over to the correct power stat. So both the description and the effect are botched.
