    So folks coming up with theorycrafted rotations, but I've got a question...according to Gamerescape, Atonement is off the global...so why would you just go with 3 atonements at the end of a RA combo? Right now folks are theorizing that the combo would be Fast Blade>Riot Blade>Goring Blade into FB>RB>Royal Authority, followed by three Atonements and then Requiescat and our magic phase...

    But you could also just as easily go FB>RB>GB into FB>RB>RA>At>FB>At>RB>At>RA>At>FB>At>RB>At>GB>Magic Phase...Yeah, its probably not gonna line up quite as clean as the other, but we're talking six 550 potencies instead of just three, and then into resetting our DoT to move into Magic Phase...

    So, barring the Gamerescape stuff being wrong on its OGCD status (Which it very well might be, cause that above looks somewhat ridonkulous), could someone a little more versed on this explain why that's the setup instead of the other? Or tell me that someone else got their preview stuff wrong in regards to the OGCD status of Atonement? heh

    You do normally want to weave the oGCDs in between GCDs, but I suppose if the potency is high enough then popping 3 oGCDs in a row might not be a loss?

    Edit: Atonement is on the GCD? 2.45 sec recast. It is in the "OGCD" box on GamerEscape but recast would indicate it's a GCD

    I mean it would sync up to Goring Blade easier...but I suck at Math, so I'm kinda wondering if the loss of a few cleans ticks of Goring Blade would be worth the extra damage from an additional 3 Atonement...that is of course if it even IS an OGCD...
