Choffware Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) I'm a carnage spec. (same problem when I switch to rage). I am never higher than 300k total dps in a warzone. I can't seem to burst anyone. I always middle of the road for damage. I'm in full weapon master partisan gear and started adding strength augments. I have not min-maxed anything yet. I've read the carnage rotation threads and I just seem to be lagging very much behind. When I parse on a warzone dummy I'm only doing 1600k Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I generally: Leap->BA->gore->mass->mass->gore on proc or mass->ravage->VT->FS What the hell I'm I doing wrong?

KyferSalvo Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Well first, what kind of latency are you working with? I'd say that is the largest factor as carnage, lag is killer for the spec. Otherwise make sure you get a mix of weaponmaster and the other one, forgot its name, but it shares the bonus with weaponmaster. You are shooting for power+surge, (optional: with a little crit thrown). Full weaponmaster has some pieces without power surge so you would want to use the power/surge pieces from the other set. For pvp, rotations are more of a guideline rather than a rule, as you have to adapt, but you got the general idea. I don't use rupture as carnage though, I suppose it might be useful in certain situations, but I rarely use it. Also, don't forget the dual saber throw, that one is helpful, and free. Use those stuns too, a well placed aoe mez can keep you alive a lot longer. Also, if you are pugging, your numbers can sometimes be low. I pug primarily and I'm around 850-1k dps on average, but in a group, with a somewhat dedicated healer, and guard? I could probably go for 1.6k or so, depending on the heals for the other team.

PoliteAssasin Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Rupture shouldn't be in your rotation at all. And you shouldn't go for strength augments as a mara. Furthermore, don't be expecting to burst anyone down until you're properly geared. These specs are dependent on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choffware Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 I meant Ravage sorry that was a typo... I hardly use rupture... on on stealthers to prevent them from vanishing... the dot pulls them out of stealth after a vanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choffware Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm working on moving the pieces around so I have surge power verses crit... Seems to be helping I'm only 1/2 done moving the pieces around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
