The Bottom Feeders: Moves You Never Use and Why.

[Syzygian]

I don't know if this is right or wrong (and a more experienced Drk can feel free to set me straight on it)

Here's my big pull ritual in dungeons:

1. Unmend first target.
2. Plunge to the next.
3. Unleash as I run past packs.
4. If my GCD is ticking such that I'll be in melee range by the time my next Unmend goes off, I Scourge instead for shits.
5. If a pack is out of range or stragglers fly past me to eat the healer, I throw an Abyssal Drain at them.
6. I put down Salted Earth wherever the final group is as I approach that spot.
7. Pop Blood Price +Shadowskin or Shadow Wall.
8. AD > DP > AD > DA > AD > unbuffed C&S> AD > DA > AD > AD
9. Blood Price falls, then: HS > DA > SS > (some oGCD here) > DE > DD > HS > DA > SS > (some oGCD here) > DE > DP > Scourge > Awareness
10. Multidot with Scourge if my MP is above like 2.5-3K and mobs are still at around 75% or more.
11. Salted Earth again.
12. 1 or 2 other defensive CDs.
13. Blood Price again.
14. Rinse&Repeat/Wing it.
15. Stuff dies.

I typically pull 10 or so targets in this fashion, and I'd say at least 6-8 mobs are necessary to burn MP as liberally as I do.

Here's my big pull ritual in dungeons: 8. AD > DP > AD > DA > AD > unbuffed C&S> AD > DA > AD > AD
9. Blood Price falls, then: HS > DA > SS > (some oGCD here) > DE > DD > HS > DA > SS > (some oGCD here) > DE > DP > Scourge > Awareness

This is pretty much exactly what I do on mobs of 5 or more, or near enough depending on Mp regen (damn those Whm holy's for wasting my blood price) and which CD's are up at the start of the pull.

Some differences would be that I almost always use DA with DP on any group of 4 or more. Around step 14, "wing it" would be replaced for me with dropping Grit and using Blood Weapon to prepare for the next pull. I typically try to save Shadow Wall for this part, or some sort of a combination of Fracture/[DA-DD/Raw - DD] + Awareness (with DA being applied only if the Dps is slow and have yet to thin out the ranks to my liking) if Wall is still down.

I know I should be more considerate to my healer (and often am if they seem to be struggling), but most healers I've come across don't seem to have a problem with dropping Grit for Mp Regen near the end of the pull.
