If the issue was as simple as taking miasma II out of our rotation, we wouldn't really have an issue. Weaving in ruin II between each GCD ability is a fairly substantial DPS increase. It's an extra 80 potency per cast. It's also extremely hard on your MP. Once we reach a low amount of MP, unless you have the BRD play ballad specifically for you, energy drain is required. Energy drain deals 150 potency vs a 300 potency fester, and restores a very small amount of MP. Having to use energy drain even 6 times in a fight is a 900 potency loss. We don't have the MP to keep up with our max DPS rotations that we've been using for previous patches. Other DPS classes are not having these extreme resource problems meaning they are able to keep their standard rotations up. The other half of the problem is all of the spell speed on our gear.
