    As for Fracture, yes, it's still a PPS increase, but barely. I estimated it to be around a 0.83% increase. I didn't account for Berserk, Internal Release, or Abandon, but it should always be an increase so long as you don't screw up and lose Storm's Eye.

    Well, I got 2.42 for my GCD and I'm not losing SE before refreshing it, but yes, if you cannot maintain SE, better do two SE combos.

    Yeah, SE x2 is best for the opener, a lot of people don't realize this but SE dropping is also a loss of DPS for your MT's opener as well.

    Afaik, it takes a large amount of uptime on the boss before Fracture becomes a PPS loss and due to the fact that we have near limitless TP there's not much reason to abandon it (hehehehe). The only place I don't really use Fracture is Ravana's attack stance and F2 (b/c I do uncomfortable amounts of OP).

    Edit: My opener is:

    HS -> Maim -> SE -> Fracture -> HS -> Maim -> SE -> HS -> IR + Zerk -> FC -> Infuriate -> FC -> RI -> SS -> BB -> HS -> Maim -> SE -> Fracture -> FC -> Pacified

    I'm actually not sure if this is optimal or not though, just what I've been using. Probably going to test out other things soon.

    OT Opener (without enough SS for 9 berserk hits):
    Heavy Swing->Maim->Storm's Eye->Heavy Swing->Skull Sunder->Butchers Block (STR pot)->Heavy Swing (Berserk) (Internal Release)->Fell Cleave(Infuriate)->Fell Cleave ->Maim (Vengeance or Raw Intuition)->Storm's Eye->Heavy Swing->Skull Sunder->Butchers Block->Fracture->Fell Cleave ->(pacified)

    Use brutal swing whenever it's up.

    these are the exact rotation I figured out as well except I switched out the the last 2 FR > FC into FC > FR. The reason is, at 479 sks I seem to keep clipping Fell Cleave with pacified. Might be a latency issue but I always land the fracture at the end of the rotation. I would also add bloodbath in the second HS but that's just me. 25% of 4-5k fell cleaves *3 = good heals

    If you plan on mt in dungeons do one BB combo at the start and then go into the SE combo but switch to deliverance after the second heavy swing since maim doesn't generate aggro and you want to start doing damage.

    Im at 479 and attempting to reach 460 to see if its the base minimum for sks to hit 9 gcd.
