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 when leveling 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 pull mobs and stack them up before you start the rotation! Spend this time making sure that you are in Form Of Celerity before using Battle Cry to buff yourself and your allies followed by Brutal Cleave which will apply the Staggered thanks to File:-1Form of Celerity.

• Continue the rotation using Cataclysm to deal high damage and and trip the targets. However, if you have a mage in your party, pay attention and wait for them to freeze the mobs so the damage done by Cataclysm is increased. Transition into Maim for extra damage before using Lunging Assault 2 times then finish the rotation with Leap Strike.
