SCH DPS Question.

[DarkmoonVael]

Start casting shadow flare on pull>bio II>energy drain>Miasma>energy drain>bio>energy drain>aero> aetherflow>broil>energy drain>broil>energy drain>broil> energy drain.

Things to note, Shadow flare, Bio II and Bio have no initial hit so have no accuracy requirements. Also the above assumes you have theee stacks of aetherflow and aetherflow off cooldown.

In raid setting, SCH also sometime dissipate during the opener once their stacks are gone for three additional stacks for energy drain.

After that its all about refreshing dots as they are about the expire .

This is your opener, when you have three stacks and Aetherflow ready to use. After the opener, you shouldn't be using Energy Drain in between spells because that delays your GCD; save them to use when your GCD is running (when you refresh Bio/Aero).
Also, I would start with Swiftcast + Shadow Flare + Energy Drain on the boss for the opener, because that helps keep the GCD running.

Almost forgot about Shadow Flare. :P I use Swiftcast + Shadow Flare as an opener on bosses+big trash pulls once I know it's safe to DPS some. (And if it's a trash pull I might elect to use a Bane instead of Energy Drain after the first Bio to spread a bit of damage out.)

Yeah the hardcast shadow flare is under the persumption its a raid and your tank has a pull macro . Should have maybe clarified that a bit more.

Also, as a general asside for continuing this topic, if you really want to push opening dps, use a HQ draconic/x potion of mind before hitting cleric stance and you opener. It can make quite a bit of difference. Hopefully they havent changed how potions and cleric interact, as this is from when i was doing T8 savage to push the towers at the start. The way potions interacted then was that the pot of mind would scale to current mind value, added to that value of mind and then converted fully to int when cleric stance was hit. Tried it with intelligence pots after cleric stance was used, and found that they would scale off your base int value, and basically add very little. Hopefully that hasn't changed, but thats another way sch dps in the opener can be pushed if you are truely into maximising your dps on sch.

I believe that you need Mind pots to add more DPS as a healer while in Cleric Stance.

Why would you use Energy Drain 6 times and waste all your Aetherflow stacks? You don't worry that you'll need Lustrate or Indomitability and will have no stacks just because you used Energy Drain for a 150 potency attack? When AoE damage comes and you have no Aetherflow stacks up, you're pretty limited in your rapid healing ability.

Because most WHM/Diurnal.AST will be solo healing for the first min+ of the fight, leaving you to use all resources for dps.
