Thing is im still not sold on doing this, except maybe t12 since it does make the fight easier.
Tank swapping? The WAR is very low but you took more damage.
I know the meta here is tank DPS and all (I love doing deeps on my WAR), but I honestly believe that you'll get more raid DPS if you just stay in shield oath (or have WAR MT in defiance) and have your SCH full-time dps in T10.
I also believe they're not using Storm's Path at all. I know for a fact that Daerion isn't, not sure about Tera. If he's doing 450 chances are they aren't using Path.
Don't think so. SCH can still do around 350 DPS while healing a Sword Oath MT. Warrior can stay out of Defiance the entire time.

Meh, tbh if this meta served some purpose it mightve been interesting. As it stand tho, its just something to do out of boredom, if you have a lot of raid-time on your hands.
Intrigued by these parses; do you two also pull 450+ on a dummy? I'm getting close to 400 in T10 and on a dummy I can pull 420+ if I'm lucky with my crit rate. I might try and convince my group to let me Holmgang the charges.If you are using controller, you MUST use Standard setting to maximize DPS. I think that might be your problem. In my FC, me and one other WAR can do 450+.
Use Defiance only when you have Unchained and so on. Also we Holmgang the Charges.
Here's the parses of me and him.

EDIT: I also use lock on with legacy controls. I recorded my last T10 session at 389 DPS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md5Sh2CxpSc
Also curious as to how other warriors tackle the adds, currently I'm pulling them with Infuriate + Steel Cyclone but I feel like this is a waste of Infuriate so I might experiment with some other ways... Maybe Flash, Infuraite + Unchained + Overpower? Idk.
EDIT II: Just been talking to another Warrior... next week I'm going to try charging an Unchained Skull Sunder for the Son and then Butcher's Block the Daughter, followed by an Overpower to keep aggro since mine are burned down first.

Not one bit, SCH loses nothing by having full Sword Oath on Imdugud. The boss generally hits weak, and with the right CDs and Viruses and phase pushes every Rip is negated to paltry levels.
We basically go Sword Oath in every turn but T11 (gonna do it next week). Our SCH may have to do an occasional extra Adlo or Lustrate for safety's sake but the 100+ DPS we gain from Sword Oath over Shield Oath is far, far more than he loses by tossing the occasional GCD/stack out to help.
The question you should have is, can the WHM DPS more with Shield Oath Oath, and to that I would answer, yes but not to a level of 100 DPS more than Sword Oath PLD - if WHM has enough spare time to DPS with Shield Oath PLD, he most certainly has some time to DPS with Sword Oath PLD.

i saw your video, lots wasted movements on adds and i think you should start rotation with Heavy>Brutal/Zerk>Maim>IR>SE>Xpot>Fracture>HS>Maim>SE>HS>Maim>SE or butchers whatever works you should be pacified after SE or BB
on adds Start HS on boss then pop Def>inf>Unchained SS one then voke+BB the other once unchaied finish drop def, you can do same thing on second set of adds but you dont need to pop Defiance since you picking up second set, try to have Veng and conv for it and it will cover you greatly there
also if you get hit by lightning dont swap, just holmgang ;3
you dont need to lock on btw if you strafe, i changed my Left to Strafe left and Right to Strafe right.
Edit: i did dummy for 3min 4sec since i run out of PT no PT buff etc i did 421 with ragnarok. "still need dat axe and body to drops"

I'm curious about that opener. Currently my opening is HS > Maim > IR/Berserk > SE > X-Pot > Fracture/Brutal > SE Combo > BB Combo. It might be beneficial moving the IR/Berserk to before Maim but I still think saving the Brutal Swing for when you have Berserk/Maim/IR/X-Pot up is much better than using it to delay the Berserk. I will test this later tonight. ^^
Gotta try and convince my healers to let me Holmgang a charge if I get Heat. ;_;
Yeah, my DPS plummets during the adds. I need to work on that. As for strafing... I have remapped Q and E so lock-on is the only way I can strafe.![]()
He means to rebind your A and D to strafe left/right. There's really not that much benefit to the default "move" A and D keys.
