::TIPS::
1) This is NOT a static Rotation, there are times where you'll need to use your own wits to figure out what to fit in based on the situation.

2) Fracture is a near-useless ability. Do not use this if you wish to maximize your DPS output.

3) What this rotation does is allow you to be more versatile. There are times when full-ability setups are not possible, leading to DPS loss for the time you take to setup a rotation far too convoluted.

4) There is less reliance on DoTs as DoTs for a DRG isn't quite potent as it should be in comparison to other classes.

5) This also utilizes combos more frequently, allowing a DRG to DPS as it is supposed to - A spike DPSer.

6) In addition, the rotation would change every cycle, so one would have to be aware of their current priority.

7) For example, HT must always be kept up and PH should benefit from it at all times. DS should also be kept up but CT DoT can fall off occasionally due to its low potency.
