OcTwenty Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Just a quick question. Ive been reading about Combat for a while now. Im wondering do combat sents use Cauterize at all? ive been checking about rotations ect and no-one seems to mention Cauterize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samoth_Nomad Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 nope. the only ability you should be spamming during CD's is blade rush. we have no use for riposte,slash or cauterize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliapis Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 personally i only cauterize in pvp when i know a shadow or operative is gonna "skip" the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridickilis Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) ^Agree. It's situational but I wouldn't remove it from your hotbar. You could even go so far as spec the talent Inflammation in the second tier of the watchman tree if you really wanted too, not that combat is lacking for roots/slows. I'm not going to bother myself but I did think about doing that. Also, disagree with removing riptose. Does it proc as often as it does on my Jugg? No, but it procs often enough to still want to keep it on the hotbar. It's off the GCD so it can be 'mashed' with something else and it cannot miss, be parried or dodged. If you do use it though I would advise putting two skill points in Recompense in the watchman tree. I do agree that you should drop slash as soon as you get blade rush.

I tried with and without riposte and I found it didn't proc enough to make it useful. I also had so many other abilties to use...at any one time...that I never used it. But if you can fit it in, more power to ya. I use cauterize in PvE more than PvP so I keep it on my hotbar. Edited July 7, 2012 by Arkerus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagunaD Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Riposte costs more focus than Blade Rush (since Blade Rush refunds a point, and sometimes two), and does less damage. When you include the low-damage force builders required to pay for it, it cannot increase your sustained DPS, despite being off the GCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlznSmri Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 For PvE I use it practically off CD because everytime I've tested with and with out it it's been a DPS increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belly Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I still use it, but it's not really a priority. My favorite use is to apply it just before I die, sometimes it's enough to bring my enemy down with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
