Blaquenwhyte 1 Report post Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Someone asked this question a while ago, and I (mistakenly) told them you should always strive to get a bleed up (whether it be Hemo or Rupture) during SR so that your SR benefits from Sanguinary Vein. As I found out afterward, however, your SR doesn't benefit from Sanguinary Vein, so making sure Rupture/Hemo is up before your other abilities isn't necessary. Your Rupture and Hemo do, however, keep ticking after your SR is over. Since you should be lining up SR with Shadow Dance, however, you shouldn't be using Hemo because it's a DPS loss during Find Weakness (Backstab/Ambush are both better even if the DoT falls off). You should definitely try to get off a Rupture during your SR. Since it keeps ticking after your SR is over, it doesn't matter if it's the first or last spell your SR casts--just make sure you get a Rupture in there somewhere. TL;DR: Rupture during SR (at any point), Hemo isn't necessary. Edited January 31, 2015 by Blaquenwhyte Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adasiek 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2015 Thanks. I have another question. Why we start with Gargotte? Why we do not cast it before other Shadow Reflecitions (or should we?). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrn 284 Report post Posted February 1, 2015 It saves you a gcd since it applies both SV and FW. You don't use it any other time since you'll always have a bleed up on the target, and its damage is miserable Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carrn 284 Report post Posted February 1, 2015 Sorry. Gcd is global cooldown, or effectively the time it takes to use a skill Yes, SV is Sanguinary Veins for the damage increase FW is Find Weakness, which is what Sub revolves around for its damage output Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lipsinch 46 Report post Posted February 2, 2015 Carrn, basically I ignore Hemo nowadays? I can forgo it completely and still not have a high DPS loss? If so, I believe this would justify me to stop using the glyph, since it works just as a cushion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrn 284 Report post Posted February 2, 2015 It's still a marginal dps gain to use when Find Weakness is down, but it's not significant. I still use it and the glyph when target swapping, since Rupture is a waste on small adds, but I replace it with CoS glyph for Butcher (for example) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
