Hoppinswtor Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 What would you do/should be done differently? I've pvp'd on my sorc for well over a year but am just getting into PvE. Gear is mostly 186 with the 2-piece 192 set bonus (no other set bonuses or 192 gear to my knowledge). Fairly high crit though. Doing just shy of 4k dps on the dummy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM9U1wWtZ_4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howdor Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 madness is plenty viable, if you know what you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppinswtor Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Basically whatever I could scrap together in one day, heh. Lots of crit and power augments - stuff I had in my inventories, basically. The vast majority is still 186 gear, and for set bonuses I only have the 2-piece 192. Based on your average times, crits, etc. I take it you're stacking alacrity? Edit: I'm parsing right around 4k (an average of 100-150 dps more than usual) after taking a look at your rotation. It seems that refreshing the dots a second or two early isn't a bad thing, as your rotation focuses more on maintaining uptime on the three heavy hitters (FL, DF, Demolish). The difference between the two rotations would probably be even greater if I had less crit and more power, since my heavy hitters would be hitting even harder and I'd be squeezing more of them into the parse. http://parsely.io/parser/view/58056 Edited August 21, 2015 by Hoppinswtor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vierge's rotation seems to prioritize those more as well as maximize dot up time, hers a link to it http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=810934&page=5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myragoeshappy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 ... It seems that refreshing the dots a second or two early isn't a bad thing ... for your information the dots are ticking every 3 seconds, so if you're refreshing the dots 1-2 seconds before they run out, you will only loose 1 tick. The Rotation i use (this one) got also a nearly perfect uptime with the dots, but i don't loose this 1 tick. my prio list in my rotation is, Demolish (only with the 4 stack) Death Field Creeping Terror Affliction Force Leech Lightning Strike (only with the 4 stack & normaly only once between 2 demolish) Force Lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppinswtor Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Interesting! Thanks for the link. Just as an aside, I'm not one of those PVPers who looks down on PVE. They're both important to becoming a balanced SWTOR player. PVE on a sorc is a very different beast compared to PVP. Rotationally, in PVP I'm used to trying to maximize dot pressure on multiple targets and then lining up my burst on a single target with another DPS for kills. PVE is all about maximizing sustained output. on a single target. They're both two sides to the class, so I think it's important for any serious player to do both. Two very different mindsets and approaches! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction everyone Edited August 24, 2015 by Hoppinswtor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
