    But that means you're staying in WM while the DoTs are ticking, where it's a damage loss unless you get an usually large amount of bloodletter resets. And once you do remove WM, you're going to need to enable it again to reapply DoTs, causing a 15 second period where you can't take off WM. I'm not really following your reasoning because it doesn't make sense outside of pre-pull.

    well... you can use your damage buffs in two ways. depending on what you are looking for, one way isn't necessarily better then the other. if you use your damage buff without WM, this will be higher DPS then it would be with the buff and WM active. that is, without factoring in DoT or any other WM actions beyond WM itself.

    if you use the damage buff without WM and are stance dancing and are applying DoT with WM active, then you will be looking high damage without WM and low~medium with WM. if you use damage buff with WM and are stance dancing and are applying DoT with WM active, then you are looking at medium damage with WM and medium damage without WM. this is not factoring in any WM actions beyond WM itself.

    in the long run, your average damage output would be about equal. but again, that is without factoring in any other WM actions aside from WM itself.



    ANYHOW, all i know is that i can do more damage by toggling WM throughout an encounter as opposed to either always using it or never using it. and this is true even when very first obtaining WM.

    A lot of theorycraft, but without logs, parsers and timeline. IMHO, is a s**t.
