I think it is important to note that this single target rotation is a bit inefficient but will probably be the best rotation for the majority of players due to its simplicity and ability to consistently execute it. However, I recommend learning this rotation first since it is more mobile before working on more advanced rotations. Replacing Lightning Strike with extra Force Lightning will be a DPS increase in most circumstances. (begin main rotation instant proc of Demolish)ĭemolish - DoT, should be instant due to procs from opener or previous rotation, debuffs target to take 5% more damage from Force attacksįorce Lightning - channel here to ensure we can instant cast Demolish when it comes off cooldownįorce Lightning - generally will need to clip channel per main rotation Lightning Strike - instant-cast via previous Force Lightning Polarity Shift OFF GCD - Use before DoTs to accelerate their tick rate and minimize "wasted" DoT durationįorce Speed OFF GCD - Used after Polarity Shift to buff Death Field and reduce its cooldown.Ĭreeping Terror - 1st DoT, does slightly more damage than Affliction thus comes firstĭeath Field - AoE damage, self-heal, also buffs DoTs 15% damage for 15 DoT ticksįorce Leech - high damage filler, self-healįorce Lightning - filler, completing a cast enables an instant cast of Lightning Strike or Demolish Recklessness OFF GCD - Recklessness should not trigger on applying Dots, so using right after Demolish to get it on cooldown early In comparison to Tempest of Rho which provides predictable and consistent extra ticks of damage, Mystic’s Ruthless Blade provides a 20% buff to part of an ability used once every 10 GCDs and around half the time lets you use a higher damaging ability over a filler.ĭemolish - DoT, hard cast for opener, otherwise should use when procced, debuffs target to take 5% more damage from Force attacks The much increased uptime of Polarity Shift via the Gathering Storm set bonus is the only thing that might make this decent by providing 25s of uptime out of every minute. The challenge for this tactical is you can only get 2 (maybe 3) bonus casts of Force Leech per use of Polarity Shift, and that bonus cast only provides incremental DPS based on it dealing more damage than Force Lightning. Replacing a GCD of Force Lightning with a second Force Leech each rotation is definitely a DPS increase. The second buff to DPS is by enabling periodic bonus casts of Force Leech while under Polarity Shift. The 20% buff to Demolish’s initial hit sounds nice but is underwhelming due to the ability doing a lot of its damage via a short duration DoT. So to recap, using Force Speed on cooldown and Polarity Shift on cooldown grant a 20% buff to your high damage abilities once every 9-10 GCDs and grants high uptime on a 20% damage buff to ALL abilities. Combine that with extra 5 seconds of duration and together you get much higher uptime on a very powerful cooldown and its 20% damage buff. Using Force Speed on cooldown for the 20% single ability damage buff should significantly reduce the effective cooldown of Polarity Shift from its base 1:45 minute cooldown. In addition, the 20% damage buff during Polarity Shift is quite strong even before the 6-piece set bonus based on its 15s duration and 105s cooldown.Įnter the 6-piece set bonus to provide a massive synergistic buff to the 4-piece. Force Speed has a cooldown of 15s with the Surging Speed utility (reduces CD by 5 seconds), so this provides a very frequent 20% damage buff to your hardest hitting abilities. The 4-piece set bonus alone is quite strong.
