Bard Skill Rotation?

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

I regret not taking a snapshot of Majidah's Bard Sucks thread in the Beta forums before that forum suffered Bahamut's wrath.

There are some minor adjustments too, such as Hawk's Eye boosting Dexterity that may worm their way into the rotation.

I suspect Majidah can provide more feedback once there's some downtime. Prior to target dummy testing, will probably go with the following.

Things that I would want to do are:
Prioritize using Misery's End and Bloodletter (attacks that are mostly independent of the global cooldown).

And I say Misery's End, because that ability can only be used when the enemy is about to die, so I would that ability go on cooldown first before my Bloodletter.

Use Straight Shot before Venomous Bite and Windbite to promote critical rate procs. [Pugilist's Internal Release may be used before the two DoTs]
Keep Venomous Bite and Windbite up on a target to assist in proc'ing Bloodletter.
Use Rain of Death to mitigate damage tank receives once all enemies have a red name (meaning tank or another has enmity on them).


Will need to feel out for when to weave Hawk's Eye, Raging Strike, Blood for Blood, Barrage, and Internal Release based on the flow of battle.
