    Really good guide as usual, Xeno.

    In terms of the OT rotation, I think this one posted awhile ago is about as min/max as you can get:

    IMO, move Brutal after Maim or Eye, but for the most part this gives you an IR + Pot + Maim + Eye buffed Fracture, 2 fully buffed FCs, and a Berserk buffed FC + Fracture at the end. I don't parse b/c PS4, but this seemed the most ideal to me, though I'd love to see numbers with your rotation vs this one.

    Your MT rotation is exactly what I use, so I'm glad to get some confirmation from another WAR that that opener is ideal. I typically use Unchained after OP/Tomahawk, though, as I've yet to have any aggro issues (will probably need to make the switch eventually).

    Also, I really like SW over Awareness to this day (except in the case of an auto-crit heavy fight like Shiva Bow phase), because:

    1. It nearly negates any crit and isn't RNG dependant
    2. You can use it as a pseudo-Equilibrium in Deliverance while maintaining Equilibrium's TP refresh

    Ideally, though, in fights like AS1 or AS3 you just replace Flash with SW and keep Awareness.

    I like to keep flash for pacification--rather than having my healers have to time esunas on me for those 2 gcds lost, can pop flash flash and keep my threat going before driving back in.

    Lol flash's threat is so low for single target, doing that is just useless. Especially when you're a WAR and you probably have a fucking high threat lead after a Berserk phase. You can just sit and auto attack during pacification. For fights where you don't need AoE threat flash is really forgettable and I think it's better to take both Awareness and Second Wind.
