Bard Question - When to use Straighter Shot Proc?

[Fevelle]

Hey all,

I've just been messing around with the Bard for awhile and came across the question of when is it the best time to use straighter shot proc?

Right now, I am saving Straighter Shot Proc for these situations:
1) When Empyreal Arrow is about to come off cooldown.
2) When two oGCD's are about to come off cooldown.

My question is, should I be saving my proc? Or should I be using it right away as soon as it pops? It's really been bugging me lately.

It depends. If you get a proc near the end of Straight Shot duration, wait a little to use it and renew Straight Shot. If not, use it instead of a Heavy Shot, since a crit Straight Shot will hit for more than a non-crit Heavy Shot. In any other cases, when you have ogcds to use and other things, save it for when you need to run or dodge mechanics, so you can keep your dps high.
