One thing I can tell you though. Carving crux is junk, don't use it.


is carving crux broken or something? 3% crit rate is kinda the same as having a mystic aura. or ap carving glyph, considering our base crit is 3.8% specialy when using acromonious and savage crux.


I always see talks of mutinous set vs. back crit set. has anyone played with a 2x mutinous, 1 carving, 1 focused? or a 3x mutinous, 1 focused? it's prity good all around. crits hard and you don't have to put so much emphasis on being behind the boss.
ok let me give an example rotation i found ( http://www.believe-tera.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9077429 sorce ) that uses Hailstorm on the second F.blast:


lTC> OC>BOC>FB>AP>VP>IN>MB>PB>F.BAR>MI>F.BAR>LTC>OC>FB>HS>AP>VP>IN>MB
6250>807>4086>1337>1268>814>2550>2550> 6250>7131>807>4086>1337>1286

TOTALS: 40541

LTC>OC>BoC>FB>HS>MI>AP>VP>IN>MB>PB>F.BAR>LTC>OC>FB>F.BAR>AP>VP>IN>MB>
6250>7131>807>4086>1337>1268>814>2550> 6250>2550>807>4086>1337>1286

TOTALS: 40541
The main differance being this: in the first rotation the author states he has to use double attack speed and roll as an elin. in my rotation i use double boss damage and roll castanic. my testing was done solo with a priest and with a mystic. because i don't have to use double attack speed my damage pulls ahead from using double boss damage.

As long as you dont let a tick waste your overchannel it seems like it would be a similar result. Real life is gonna be a little more time consuming for me than it was before so i probably wont try to put my spreadsheets back into action. Mang had made a great one shortly before i left, looks like he isnt around anymore?

I'm debating between sorc (im good at it, it was effective, its what i was used to), archer (had lots of fun on it) and slayer (something new and effective). it sounds like there werent tons and tons of class changes since i left, just new content.


Sorcs are still on top of the dps food chain but because they are overplayed anything sorc related is expensive. They have made improvements to archers but they are still on the bottom for dps. Even a bad sorc pulls ahead of a good archer. Slayers are prity good but the content right now is unfriendly to melee.

A good warrior can go a long way in the endgame content right now. I haven't seen a top rank CoF group with a warrior lancer combo due to thier debuffs and they tank queen better then Lancers by being able to tank her in DPS stance from 30% (some do it at 50%). so a good warrior hold more apeal in endgame right now then another slayer. I haven't seen a lot of good zerkers, they seem to have largest learning curve on Queen hm but when played well they are a top dps, so if you're looking for a challange that might be better suited for a more advanced player then that might be an option. anyway GL to you on what ever class you decide to roll. maybe check one of the new servers too!

ugh, so much catching up to do. Sorcs still pretty big on the theorycrafting side?


not like it was way back when. glad to see you come back. I think they burried a lot of the oldschool threads.

same questions still in play.

2x speed vs. 2x damage to weapon.
crit vs. power.
what glyphs /rotation should i use.

The latest topic, at least new to me, is weather or not to HS after the first Fireblast (during BoC) or after the second (after BoC).

hail storm always after 2nd FB. smart people.


not sure why you would want to put HS after the second FB. specialy if you are using pumped mana barrier glyph.

15% nostrum lowers Fireblast to 10 sec cd. Hailsotrm ticks for 10 seconds. It doesn't matter witch FB you pop it after if you're hiting FB on CD you will always be trying to not clip OC with a HS tick. seems like a dps loss (even if small) to wait that late in rotation to drop Hailstorm.

LTC> OC> BoC> Blast> HS> MI> AP> VP> IN> MB> PB> Barrage> LTC> OC> Blast> Barrage> AP> VP> IN> MB> repeat.

15% nostrums. 6% neck. 2x boss on weapon. (i had trouble pulling it off with a 4% neck. 6% is a must to make it work).

gets in 2 buffed flaming barrages. 2 oc Fireblasts during boc. along with the AP boosters.
