There Are No Bard Rotations Club

[arctic]

The Rules of There Are No Bard Rotations Club:

• 1st RULE: There are no Bard rotations
• 2nd RULE: There are NO BARD ROTATIONS
• 3rd RULE: If someone talks about their rotation you may tell them it’s bad and that your DPS is better with out explanation.
• 4th RULE: You may show your parser data, but only if you haven't disclosed your rotation.
• 5th RULE: You may discuss your rotation, but only if you do not show any parser data.
• 6th RULE: You do not have a rotation.

Okay guys - here is an OPENING rotation my buddy showed me back in December that I've been following:

Straight Shot, Bloodletter (off gcd), Raging Strikes (off gcd), Hawks Eye, Internal Release (off gcd), Windbite, Blood for Blood (off gcd), Venomous Bite, Barrage (off gcd), Blunt Arrow (off gcd), Heavy Shot, Flaming Arrow (off gcd) Heavy Shot, Repelling Shot (off gcd)" - opener

At this point, straight shot should be about to fall off, reapply it, reapply dots after. Use any buffs as soon as they come up (off the gcd of course). The ONLY exception, is to delay barrage to be used with Raging Strikes. Barrage is pretty useless by itself.

If done correctly, your dots will be falling off right as you use internal release every time.

I haven't had too many people fault this rotation, and later today I'll toss out some numbers. If anyone would be interested in trying out this OPENING rotation and comparing it to their own, or have feed back on how to optimize it further I'd appreciate it.
