kRUZH Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 How do you usually start a fight as an annihilation marauder? And after that what do you use? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxcolt Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Force charge (when appropriate) -> Deadly saber while in air -> Battering assault -> Rupture -> Annihilate That's that basic opening..can change depending on situation etc etc Edited April 6, 2012 by Foxcolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enosh_ Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 By the way, what's the AoE "rotation"? press the smash button, press the whatever cleave is called in swtor until you can use smash again oh and do a battering assault for rage or do it like me, stay back and laugh as the classes that actually have decent aoe get aggro and die ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get to have 3 annihilator stacks faster 2. (assuming you've skilled Empowerment which you pretty much have to when going anni) Opening rotation isn't reliant on Empowerment proc since Annihilate refunds 1 rage and you can Rupture without a need for rng proc. tl;dr Charge > Saber when in the air > Battering Assault > Annihilate > Rupture > continue with priority Edited April 11, 2012 by gibmachine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you Annihilation before you Rupture, then you have to wait for the cd on Rupture to end before reapplying. Annihilation is a DoT spec and the point of using Rupture before Annihilate is to get the cd on Rupture refreshed so you can instantly reapply the DoT when it falls off, maximising your uptime, and pressure. If you Annihilate before you Rupture, and your DoT is cleansed then you're just farting about in your opponents face until your cooldowns are ready again.
