WHM DPS Rotation

[Menae]

Aero 1 do less damage than stone 3. so i think it is only worth using to save some mana or while you have to move.

You can pair it with an off GCD ability like Assize or Fluid Aura and it's more damage than Stone 3.

By itself, though, you are correct.

For groups using quick DPS

HOLY > HOLY > HOLY > ASSIZE > HOLY > SHROUD OF SAINTS > Wait a min / drink an x-ether > Repeat holy / Assize

For Single targets using heavy front load damage

Presence of mind > Stone 3 > Stone 3 > Stone 3 > Stone 3 > Stone 3


Combination of DOTS and front loaded damage

Aero 2 > Swiftcast > Aero 3 > Aero 1 > Presence of mind > Stone 3 > Stone 3> Stone 3 > Stone 3 > Assize > Stone 3 > Shroud of saints > Stone 3 > Apply dots again and repeat

When going for maximum single target burst at the beginning of a fight *Stares at Faust and Oppressor* I tend to do Aero II >> Aero >> Swiftcast + Aero III >> Pressence of Mind >> Stone III spam (reapply Aero II when it's about to fall off).

Admittedly, Aero III during pull into Aero II >> Aero >> Pressence of Mind >> Stone III spam is probably much more effective if you can predict tank pull.

As has been mentioned, Stone III does more damage than Aero, but weaving Aero in and using oGCD abilities will maximize oGCD efficiency, so make sure to take that into account.

Is Divine Seal and Presence of mind off the gcd?

WHMs have a DPS rotation? I thought it was just DoTs + Stone III x infinity

It seems like WHM doesn't have enough time on trial boss to put out high numbers.

WHM can push 400+ in Bismark/Ravana EX and Alex 1-3, at least 250 on Alex 4. But this is more about the healer partner you have, his job (is it another WHM, a SCH or an AST ?) and the whole level skill of the party. For those who are interested, the comparison with AST : 300+ and at least 200 on Alex 4.

P.s. Small ask, does divine seal/presence of mind effect spells cast while the buff is active or when the spell is cast? Like if I case Cure II when I have divine seal up but it fades before the end of my cast will I still get a bonus?

Presence of mind will affect the spell as soon as it starts to cast, even if the buff drops before it lands. Divine seal will not, it will only affect the spell as long as the buff is up when it lands.

Depends on the situation. Holy is still a good use when AOE's are needed and tied with Assize. This can bring out some quick / large DPS. DOTS and Stone 3 are the typically standard for long fights but during that process you should use some GCD's to squeeze out a little more. Presence of mind is nice because the faster you are the more dps you can unleash

Me as a WHM i am using this Rotation: Cleric Stance --> Presence of Mind (Recommended) --> Aero III --> Swiftcast --> Holy --> Assize --> Holy Spam
Got a dps of 2000-2100 (Multitarget) as WHM if i do dps. As long as you have MP you can hold it.

I personaly have Cleric stance macros to switch my bars it helps greatly anyways I usually start the battle with devine seal- cure- regan-asylum on tank that gives me good time to dps. For single target I usually go A3-A2-A1-Presence of mind than span stone 3 until dots need to be replaced. By that time den I go back to heal devine should be up I pop devine and heal away.
