Teach me when to use Onslaught.

[BluexBird]

Example 1: You used Berserk. Berserk is about to run out. You use 1 last Fell Cleave but you still have 20-40 points on your beast gauge, and 1-2 seconds left on Berserk. Use Onslaught.

Example 2: You have 70 points on your beast gauge, and Berserk is about to come off cooldown (15 seconds or so). It will be better to wait for your Berserk before using Fell Cleave. But if you use any more generators, you'll end up overflowing. So you use Onslaught to free up gauge so that the extra points from your next Maim/Path/Eye don't just go to waste.

Example 3: Like the one above, but in this case, Inner Release is about to come off cooldown along with Berserk. You want to make sure you pull off 2 Onslaughts during Inner Release. So you can't just use Onslaught right before Berserk. You have to predict this situation and use Onslaught earlier. It becomes easier once you get the hang of the fight.

Example 4: You got knocked back really far (during Grand Cross, Vacuum Wave) or the boss is far away (Halicarnassus after tanking White Flame). Use Onslaught to get close.

Also if you use Onslaught as soon as it becomes available your DPS won't be that much different, but it's not the optimal.
