Sch dps rotation

[uome]

Sorry...what do you mean shadow flare on 3 sec timer?

Sometimes i will swiftcast shadowflare as soon as tank provokes before doting

I have 500+ dps on A1 savage as scholar. Maybe I can help but not sure, I just do my rotation and keep an eye on the mt/ot everytime.

If you are accustomed to dps then it shouldn't be a problem. But you need good synergy with your whm partner too!

[uome]

been playing with same group since 2nd coil so pretty accustomed to whm and the tanks. Im going to try reversing my order of dots and try to weave in energy drains more often. Do you guys keybind cleric stance to a mouse button or something to make stance dancing easier/quicker?

So we have our tanks use a 5 sec pull announcement macro, so it tells us in party chat "pulling in 5" "pulling in 4" etc. when the 3 sec announcement comes up, i start casting shadowflare so it hits at exactly the same time as the tanks pull, like what BLM do with thunder spells on the pull.

In addition to the above, it should be noted that healer DPS is very heavily tied to the competency of your group. I can reach about 680-700 DPS with appropriate food and pots (and +Accuracy melds) on a dummy, but that damage is attenuated in a real situation by how much damage people are taking. If your party avoids unnecessary damage, it's easy to swap in/out of Cleric Stance at times when you know that heavy damage will be hitting. If they're taking unnecessary damage, it directly impacts the amount of time you can spend in Cleric Stance, and thus your overall DPS.

My standard rotation is pre-cast Shadowflare -> Bio II -> Bio I (Energy Drain) -> Miasma -> Aero (Energy Drain) -> Ruin II (Energy Drain) -> Broil, refreshing DoTs as necessary. I can generally avoid clipping most of the DoTs if I'm on point and don't have to move a bunch. I'm still trying to figure out the best timing for a Mind pot.

For Faust I start with draconian mind potion (hq) > cleric stance (does it matter if I use cleric stance before or after the pot?) > swiftcast shadowflare > bio II > miasma > bio I > aero, then broils and energy drains and refreshing shadowflare and DoTs as they wear. I stand close to Faust for auto-attacks. Accuracy has been 100% or close to it (with standard healer gear) and DPS 563 on our first kill (with shadowflare hitting the adds). Our WHM solo heals until 4-5 stacks.

I hit 420dps on best run so far so im getting there. I need to add aero to rotation and ive started getting into melee range while dpsing which also allows me to miasma2 more.

I would cleric before pot since the pot only lasts 15s and you have to get as much spells out as u can un that time.

Yeah but I mean since cleric swaps your MND and INT and pot adds MND, does it still turn the MND from pot to INT if you use it after you've already used cleric stance?

[Budi]

What I do as an opener is:
Shadow Flare (Potion) Bio II (Energy Drain) Miasma (Energy Drain) Bio (Energy Drain) Aero (Aetherflow) Broil (Energy Drain) Broil (Energy Drain) Broil (Energy Drain) Bio (Dissipation) Aero (Energy Drain) Broil (Energy Drain) Broil (Energy Drain). Keep DoTs up and Broil in between, Aetherflow should be up again before Oppressor 0.5 spawns.

actually not sure if the GCD skills are correct, but the off-GCDs are.

Cleric Stance performs a continual check of your MND and INT, rather than a snapshot. Try using a storebought INT potion while in Cleric Stance and you'll see that your MND goes up, and vice versa for a MND potion. You can use MND potions in Cleric Stance and it'll add to your damage just fine.
