Mattricks Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Was wondering what people do for orders of casting abilities. Do you force leap in and try and build focus real fast with sundering strike? Do you focus more on damage? Etc...just want to hear how people are using their abilities and how to better use the ones I have. Edited December 14, 2011 by Mattricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site offers some insight on that. Edited December 14, 2011 by Helig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wylfing Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 One of the reasons it's "priority" instead of "rotation" is that you need to pop Riposte whenever it comes up. However, I think it's possible to talk about basic rotations, especially for earlier levels. For example, below level 20 it might go something like this: Force LeapForce SweepBlade StormSundering StrikeMaster StrikeSundering StrikeSlash The Sweep comes in early to give you the Dust Storm buff. Depending on circumstances you could drop it out. Your Blade Storm is probably free, though - might as well use it. At higher levels you'll have better things to do than Master Strike.

Atamasama Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 One of the reasons it's "priority" instead of "rotation" is that you need to pop Riposte whenever it comes up. More importantly it's because we have to build up our resources actively. You have to use abilities like Strike, Sundering Strike, and Force Leap to get Focus in order to use most of your other abilities. Soresu will passively build up Focus but at a pretty slow rate. Also, depending on talents, you might generate Focus in response to things like CC so it's unpredictable. You pretty much have to react to situations as they occur, a rotation is practically impossible. I think it keeps the class from being boring, personally.
