    I've been using this as my opener: SS (BL,RS), VB (xpot of dex,BfB), WB (HE,IR), HS (Barrage). After that I refresh the dots while I still have all my buffs up and weave in any bloodletter procs or Repelling Shot/Blunt when they are up. Is there something I should change to squeeze out a little more DPS? On our FCoB runs i'm always second when we look at the parse, a little behind our ninja. But I don't know if thats because the others suck or what, but I feel like there's room for improvement.
    got some things that could help you there. First of all you want IR up BEFORE you apply your dots since the higher crit=more BL resets, secondly dont use xpot+another oGCD together, the animation of the xpot is so long that if you use another oGCD with it you will delay your next GCD, also use wind bite before venomous bite.

    My opener:
    8s pre-pull: Foes+BV
    4s pre-pull: Quelling->HE->Raging
    Bl as tank pulls
    straight shot->B4B+IR->WB->X-pot->VB->barrage+blunt(BL instead if reset)->heavy->flaming+blunt/BL->heavy->repelling+blunt/BL->heavy->potent poisoning potion (use BL if it resets) clip the dots @6s left to make sure they get all the buffs

    then after the opener you go in to a priority system that looks like:
    straight shot>dots>straighter shot>heavy shot with weaving in BL and buffs and clipping your dots @ 3s left

    you can also look into delaying your some of your buffs like delay the second B4B a couple of seconds so it lines up with HE+barrage
    IR is about to go off CD= delay reapplying your dots by 1-2 seconds to get IR buff on them etc.

    Yea i´ve seen it takes a while to pop xpot+buff so whatever skill im gonna use next has to wait for a while. Gotta get rid of that.

    Yup. Thats what i´ve been doing so far. And yeah, I use WB first but my brain had some lag while posting with mobile. I even forgot Flaming Arrow.. But thanks for the tips! Gonna train on a dummy and beat it to myself to use IR early on instead and not use xpot with another buff.
