    Warrior Full DPS Rotation?

    Trying to maximize dps on Twintania as a Warrior. Can't seem to find any guides for a Warrior DPS rotation. Anyone care to share theirs please?

    Turn Defiance off. Use Berserk and Internal Release on cooldown. Keep Fracture up, do not clip, do not break a combo chain for it, but keep it up as often as possible.

    Spam Heavy Swing -> Maim -> Storm's Eye combo. Every time Unchained is up, turn defiance back on, Infuriate-> Unchained -> Vengeance -> Combo to 5 wrath -> Inner Beast -> Defiance off and back to spamming Storm's Eye. Try to time this for Berserk as often as possible, but don't delay Berserk for it.

    Use Butcher's Block combo only when you can do it without taking threat, it is the higher DPS combo, but it will rip threat if you use it often.

    Heavy Swing > Maim > Storm Eye > Fracture (Keep it up) > BB Combo/SE Combo depending on threat position.

    Brutal Swing, Internal Release, Berserk on CD

    If threat is far from MT, Defiance > Infuriate > Unchained > Till duration over. > Defiance off
    on other scenarios, Defiance > Infuriate > Inner Beast > Vengeance (If available) > Combo till Defiance CD off if at 4 Wrath follow up till Inner Beast before turning off.

    Also on another note, try to land Berserk on Unchained as it will generate 1 more Wrath.

    Misinformation so far, unfortunately.

    1. You do not want to use Berserk and Internal Release on CD. You want to use them together, in almost every possible scenario.

    2. Do not touch Defiance. Going into Defiance, using Infuriate so you can get that fatty Inner Beast off is more detrimental to your DPS than anything. When you go into Defiance, you are forced to stay in it for 10 seconds. All DPS gain you will get from being able to use Inner Beast you will completely lose from being forced to sit in Defiance for 10 seconds.

    Everything else mentioned in this thread is correct. Spam Storms Eye combo until threat allows you to weave in Butchers Block. Never let Maim fall, do not clip Fracture and don't let Fracture fall off.

    Using them together will get you roughly 1.4x benefit per 90s, while CD is 1x benefit per 60s as a baseline. However, since you're overalapping on one third of your uses (every 180s), using it on-cooldown will actually get you roughly 1.13x benefit per 60s, or about 21% greater benefit than waiting for Berserk every time.

    You could not have explained that any more vaguely than you just did.

    Unchained is 20 seconds.

    So with this in mind, say you use unchained, build 5 stacks of wrath quickly and blow off inner beast, does that mean you can sort of nullify the damage lost from 10s of forced defiance?

    It takes around 20s of global cooldowns to go from 0 to 5 Wrath stacks. However both Vengeance and Berserk add Wrath stacks, meaning that 20s Unchained countdown can be cut short enough to get an Inner Beast off with Unchained Still up.

    You can also do this, though it depends on your MTs aggro.
    – Keep Defiance on from the start (watch your aggro)
    – Work up to 5 Wrath the old fashioned Way
    – When the tank has sufficient aggro, blow Unchained
    – Berserk + Internal Release + Vengeance
    – Get to 5 stacks with 3x Combo
    – Inner Beast
    – Infuriate
    – Inner Beast

    I think you have maximum damage, and maximum spike damage confused.
