Missing CP

[Neshama 1]

Hi,

I have simple question.

What to do when Im missing one combo point and all my bleeds are ticking ??

Examples:

1. I have 4 out of 5 combo points, do I cast 4cp Envenom or do I use Mutilate or Hemo to get that one missing point and then cast full 5cp Envenom ??
2. Im 5 out 6 combo points (with Deeper Stratgem talent), same as above, do I cast Mutilate, Hemo to get full 6cp, or I just dump 5cp Envenom ??

From what I read around, the damage isn't that much of concern when it comes down to 1 CP difference when going to be capped. If you're with 1 CP from being capped, do not use Mutilate, you'd be wasting 1 CP (potentially 2 if you crit). Being @ 4/5 (or 5/6) CP is rather frequent, so that behavior can lead to damage loss. I suggest you either using 4/5 (or 5/6) CPs or then filling up with Hemorrhage/Garrote.

Thumb rule is: Rupture try to fit always 6CP (Hemo or Garrote), Envenom don't worry much, save CPs.

Yeah, I dig through some forums and posts. It looks like there is not much difference betwean 5cp vs 6cp Envenom.
However, using 6cp Rupture seems to be more beneficient.

This, yes.

The way I normally say it is:

• if you have 5/6 cp and need to refresh Rupture immediately because it is expiring, use a 5cp Rupture.
• if you have 5/6 cp and don't need to refresh rupture immediately but you will in the next couple seconds, use Mut (or Hemo - Hemo would be preferable, even if it's a little outside its regular refresh window)
• If you have 5/6 cp and have time to build more cp before refreshing Rup, use a 5 cp Envenom

It's very important to note that 5/6 is when this applies, because 4/5 does not give you the guaranteed extra energy.
