This is really awesome, hadn't even thought about straying from the 6 FC at outset. Does it fall into a clean rotation after this?

Yea the 6 FC is a DPS loss. this has been the superior rotation for me cause the timing is just that good.

I organized that rotation a bit for myself and thought i'd share.

HS (infuriate) > maim (thrill) > eye >
HS (berserk) > maim (inner rel) > path (upheaval) >
HS > maim > path > FC > FC > FC > FC >

HS > maim > eye >
HS > maim (infuriate) > path >
HS (upheaval) > maim > FC > path >

HS > SS > BB >
HS > maim > eye (berserk) >
HS > FC > maim > path >

HS (upheaval) > maim > path > FC (infuriate) > FC >
HS > maim > eye >
HS > maim > path > FC >

HS > maim > path >
HS > maim > eye (berserk) >
HS (inner rel) > FC (thrill) > maim > path (upheaval) > FC (infuriate) > FC > FC > FC > FC

Here it is visually, but I didn't really find it helpful. http://ffxivrotations.com/umr

6 fell cleave is a dps loss assuming you have a min using trick on the 5th gcd. But this particular rotation is still not in any way optimal.

Has anyone determined what's truly optimal yet? Trying to avoid learning the job incorrectly at 70,my feel for it has been "priority" over "rotation" but especially playing on PS4 with no way to consistently compare numbers I'm at a loss.

I'm waiting until after .05 before i start optimizing my warrior personally.
