    WM might not be much worth using until getting Iron Jaws at lv56. Empyreal Arrow is a really strong action for BRD, and even more so because of WM. so using WM before getting Iron Jaws may or may not be worth it. like if their is a high-priority target and the other DPS doesn't switch to it, you may need the burst in damage. but after that you will be stuck for the next 12seconds. so if the target needs to die quickly you will have that DPS and/or time loss from casting, so if you need that burst try to use it towards the end.

    this is the way i was able to figure it up, also keep in mind i am still only lv56 BRD.

    without DoT and without a damage buff WM ended being around a 15~20% loss in DPS. (vs the same, but without WM.) without DoT and with a damage buff it ended up being around a 5~10% DPS loss. (vs the same, but without WM and without the damage buff) with DoT and without a damage buff it ended up equaling out. (vs the same, but without WM) but also note that this was without using any WM exclusive actions. so even without using damage buffs, just using the WM exclusive actions can allow for superior DPS.


    i think the biggest things to keep in mind when deciding to use WM or not is things like damage over time and how long the encounter will last. if you have already used things like Empyreal Arrow and find yourself in a situation where you don't need to apply anymore DoT, then using WM could be a decrease in DPS.




    anyhow... i don't know, and am not a master BRD or anything ^_^
