I am getting all my positionals.

Clipping your DoTs like that will result in damage loss. I think its safer to even not have them up a second or two instead of clipping them.

It's safer,loosing 1 or 2 sec is not a big deal if you were doing an action just before.With our low GCD we can allow ourselves to do that,DRG can't..

Clipping Demolish when it has <6s left is a DPS increase, not a loss.

If I recall correctly, it is better to clip at <3s than <6s...

Obviously. Nothing to even recall there. The less you clip, the better. However, since Demolish comes around once every 3 hits at best in a combo rotation, it's better to clip at <6s than to use a Snap Punch and go another combo. If it just so happens Demo is at <3 when you get around to the finisher, even better.

The only option for Demo clipping (without fracture or forced disconnect) is Snap+Demo rotation instead of Snap+Snap+Demo rotation, so pitting Demo potency against a single Snap would be incorrect imo. From personal testing, while clipping Demo at around 4 sec left with Snap+Demo rotation isn't a huge loss, Snap+Snap+Demo will pull ahead in overtime potency even if you drop the demo effect occasionally. Personally the only time I would clip Demo is when I refresh ToD in the same cycle, as that makes the Demo run a GCD longer and be in better clipping range.

I got my Animus! And yes, those eyes ARE glowing! <3

Btw, has anybody else noticed that if your Skill Speed gets high enough with Greased Lightning, your GCD will be less than 2 seconds? Mine has reached that point, and I just BURN through enemies now.

Yes, and you also burn through TP too! :P As much as I like attacking really fast it kind of sucks on long fights. However, congratulations on the awesome looking weapons.

I actually like the GCD being that low, it makes burn phases in the endgame fights absolutely trivial for me.

Hey guys, relatively new 50 Monk here. So far my ilvl is sitting around 58 and I've got my relic. I've been running Brayflox hard over and over trying to get the gear there, but half the time we just get crafting items. Is it better to use the Myth tomes for gear, or should I save those to upgrade my relic, and just hope for drops?
