    Fell Cleave x 3
    Heavy Swing -> Maim -> Onslaught before IR ends
    Back to Defiance (or not, up to you/your healers/your agro)

    If I'm not tanking:

    Heavy Swing + Infuriate -> Eye Combo
    Heavy Swing -> Upheaval -> Maim -> Onslaught -> Path
    Butcher's Block Combo -> Path Combo -> Eye Combo
    Heavy Swing -> IR + Berserk -> Fell Cleave -> Maim -> Path -> Upheaval
    Fell Cleave x 3
    Infuriate
    Fell Cleave x 2

    Open to suggestions. c:
    U wanna use infuriate after the FIRST fc to maximize the infuriate trait.

    So after getting 100 rage on stormseye combo, do

    Hs, IR, Berserk, Fc, upheaval, infuriate, fc, maim, stormspath, fc x 4

    I can't do that. After the first Fell Cleave with Inner Release, you're down to 55 (Inner Release costs 20, minus 25 from the Fell Cleave). Upheaval is on cooldown, so I can't use it there either. I must wait after Storm's Path to use it. Plus, Infuriate is on cooldown too until after the 4th Fell Cleave.

    If the boss has a facepull range (unlike a9s, for example, where you can start with heavy swing without delay), it might be better to tomahawk > infuriate before your first heavy swing.

    6 fell cleave is a dps loss assuming you have a min using trick on the 5th gcd. But this particular rotation is still not in any way optimal.

    Has anyone determined what's truly optimal yet? Trying to avoid learning the job incorrectly at 70,my feel for it has been "priority" over "rotation" but especially playing on PS4 with no way to consistently compare numbers I'm at a loss.
