    Warrior rotation/strategy advice

    New player here who would love some advice/critique of my current strategy and rotations. I\\'m level 38 so I don\\'t yet have all abilities. Titan was the last thing I completed. My current additionals are Conv, Fleetfoot and Provoke.

    I generally alternate Foresight and Fleetfoot throughout a fight thinking it\\'s decent mitigation over time. My normal rotation: HS>SS>BB>HS>Maim>SP and start over. The thinking being I hold enmity and get a slight hp recovery while keeping Maim up and getting Wrath quickly. If I see a DPS eat something big or anytime I think the healer needs to give serious attention elsewhere I\\'ll usually go HS>Berserk>Bloodbath>Maim>SP>IB then start at the second half of my normal rotation again. I save Conv and ToB for when I eat something I shouldn\\'t have usually.

    Yep, s'about right. BB Combo > SP Combo is the basic thing to do. The only thing that really changes once you get SE combo is you go SP > SE when you're off-tanking or when you've got enough of a threat lead that you don't need BB mixed in.

    For cooldowns, sure. You're not at a point where you need a huge amount of strategy with them, but you've got the general idea. You can either rotate through the small ones to keep your average mitigation a little higher, or combine them to make them a bit more worthwhile. Either way, you save the big ones for big hits. A lot of people pair Conv and ToB together, since Conv helps get the extra HP of ToB filled back up. You can use ToB (to a degree) either reactively or proactively; if you use it right before a big hit you know is coming, it's basically like absorbing part of the hit with the extra HP.

    Anyway. You're doing fine. You'll figure the fiddlier stuff out when you need to.

    Yeah, so far my big CDs are pretty much always reactive because of a lack of familiarity with boss tactics. The only thing I've run a lot now is Brayflox to finish off my Calvalry set. And with that so long as don't take a breath attack there's not much oncoming damage to proactively avoid. Unfortunately Titan was a horrid lagfest that took us forever to get through. I never want to do that again till I know the lag is fixed lol. I couldn't learn anything from it because half the time nothing was working or was so delayed as to ruin rotations and CDs.
