Rotations

Short AOE Burst Rotation ↴

First you want to make sure that you are in the correct form with Form Of Celerity as this allows you to apply Stagger to enemies whenever you use Brutal Cleave.

Start by pulling mobs using your longbow to get them to follow you while also building up Combat Momentum at the same time which increases the damage you do. Use Brutal Cleave before following up with Cataclysm to deal a large amount of damage before transitioning into Maim to make use of the extra damage you deal when attacking tripped targets. Finish the rotation with Whirlwind and make sure that you position yourself in a way that the last hit hits all enemies you pulled.

Short Single Target Rotation ↴

This is your bread and butter rotation for single target DPS while leveling but it remains very relevant even at higher levels, especially when playing solo. Start with Blitz to build up quick Combat Momentum before continuing with Rupture to apply a bleed dot before transitioning to Lunging Assault.

Continue the rotation with a hit of Overpower and then use Wallop to maximize the damage it does based on the amount of Combat Momentum stacks you gained throughout the rotation. The last skill in the rotation is Lethal Blow as its used to finish off a target with its high damage and also reset Blitz cooldown by using Reinvigorating Lethal Blow. Once upgraded with Consuming Lethal Blow, Lethal Blow also returns some of your HP and mana.

Extended AOE PVE Rotation ↴

Wait for the tank to gather the mobs and stack them up before starting your rotation! During this time, make sure you are in Form Of Celerity. Begin the rotation with Battle Cry to buff yourself and your allies, followed by Brutal Cleave, which will apply the Staggered debuff thanks to File:-1Form of Celerity.

Next, use Cataclysm for high damage and to trip the targets. If there’s a mage in your party, watch for them to freeze the mobs first, as this will increase the damage from Cataclysm. Follow up with Maim for extra damage, then use Lunging Assault twice. End the rotation with Leap Strike.
