Proper way to use Raw Intuition?

[ansoni26]

Hello everyone. This has probably already been covered and I just haven't seen the thread for it. I'm a returning player after being off for 7 months and I remember a weird time when I pulled 8 enemies and popped raw intuition and made sure that all the enemies were right in front of me and I was completely straight facing them and I got crit'ed because I had so many on me(8) that the mobs just slightly brimmed over to my sides slightly and capitalized on raw intuition's downside. My question is should I not be pulling that many with raw intuition's downside or should I be popping another cd with it? Thanks for any help and support

Awareness negates Raw Intuition's downside. Also, the "proper" way to use Raw Intuition is to build a stack for 3x Fell Cleave. Accept no other answers.

Thank you fm fenrir. When you say build a stack for 3x fell cleave you mean being able to use fell cleave 3x in a rotation of some sort?

Raw Intuition gives a stack of wrath/abandon when you use it, so you'd use it to help get back to 5 stacks during a Berserk window. You'd use it something like this:

(have 5 stacks already) -> Berserk -> Fell Cleave -> Infuriate -> Fell Cleave -> Raw Intuition (one stack) -> Vengeance (one stack) -> butcher's block combo (two stacks) -> butcher's block combo (two stacks, interrupt with third Fell Cleave) -> scream at healer to remove pacification with 50 line macro

You can start with four stacks, as Berserk itself gives one.
You also dot need both Vengeance and Raw Intuition, just finish the combo and use one.

It's more like
Maim [3]
Storm's Eye [4]
Heavy Swing
[Internal Release]
[Berserk] [5]
Fell Cleave [0]
[Raw Intuition] [1]
Skull Sunder [2]
Butcher's Block [3]
Heavy Swing
Maim [4]
Storm's Eye [5]
Fracture
Fell Cleave [0]
[Infuriate] [5]
Fell Cleave [0]
[Pacify]

I had a WAR like this in a duty a few days ago. Like it only takes 2 words (esuna please?) Calm down no need for paragraphs about why / when you need a cleanse lol

There's actually a reddit post that goes into great detail about how it's a raid wide dps loss to cleanse pacification off a war, unless you have a brd who literally has no other oGCD to use than warden's paean.
