Rage spec opener rotation 2.0 55


Recommended Posts

Just wanted some advice on level 55 pvp opener rotation for rage spec? What has been working best as fillers while smash is coming off cool down. Thanks

 

As far as openers go, you want Dominate and Shockwave buffs up ASAP, so naturally if you don't have Fury already, you're going to want to Charge > Crush > Battering Assault > Smash.

 

After that, you want to maximize the value of the post-Smash damage buff, so hard-hitters like Ravage, free Force Scream, Obliterate, Vicious Throw (when available) etc. and try to hit 30 Fury before Smash comes off CD.

 

Rage really isn't very complicated. It's not quite as Smash-centric as it was, since other skills do more noteworthy damage, but the basic idea hasn't changed... build Shockwave + Dominate, Smash, and rinse/repeat as often/quickly as possible. Most of your GCDs are spent in the pursuit of that basic goal.

 

The foremost filler is undoubtedly Vicious Slash. Ravage during the post-Smash damage buff window is nice, as is a free Scream, Dual Saber Throw, or Vicious Throw. For the most part, though, you don't so much have filler as you have GCDs spent building Fury and reducing the CD on Smash.

 

It's still a very single-minded spec, even if less of the damage is concentrated into Smash itself.
