[Guide] DPS Rotation for ALL CLASSES!

[[AfterBurner]]

Hello Afterburner. Nice guide, I was sad to see you didn't include a feral-kitty rotation though. So I am going to shortly do it for you!

As there is no real rotation, we speak of a "priority list" for cat DPS. Try to follow the following instructions in the given order.

1. Keep up Savage Roar
2. Keep up Mangle
3. Keep up Rake
4. Use shred for Combo Point regeneration
5. When at 5 CP and Rip is not up, use Rip
6. When below 30 Energy, use Tigers Fury
7. Use Clearcast Proccs for Shred
8. When at 5 CP and Rip and Savage Roar are running with 8 seconds (might be longer, depending on your gear) or longer each, use Ferocious Bite.
9. When Rip and Savage Roar will drop at nearly the same time (with less than 3 seconds difference), try to recognize it early. Then use SR with a small amount of CP to desynchronize both timers.
10. Use Berserk only at high energy, (but not higher than 85) not directly after TF and as often as possible. If you will get Hysteria or some boss mechanics will enhance your damage, save it for these situations.

Its sort of complicated and nothing you can just read by googleing.

Thanks =] I'll be sure to add this to the guide :P

/castsequence reset=target Sinister Strike, Sinister Strike, Sinister Strike, Slice and Dice, Sinister Strike, Sinister Strike, Sinister Strike, Rupture, Sinister Strike, Sinister Strike, Sinister Strike, Eviscerate

With glyph of SS you should always have 5 CP with only using 3 SS.

Just burn off arcane barrage on 4 * arcane blast effect. Instead off aiming to get oom.

Paladin Retribution.
Read that if you want max DPS, everything is explained. And judgement -> CS is totaly out of question. Too long CD to use it 1st.
Edit: Are you telling us NOT to use Chain Lightning as shaman ele DPS? It's like lightning bolt but less cast time and deal more damage, oh my.

For all you so called Arcane Mages saying to use Arcane Barrage after 4 stacks of Arcane Blast I feel sorry for the people that raid with you.

A monkey with a banana can make this guide.

1.3: Aha, the Warlock. A good DPS Class. Destruction Spec. This may not be the perfect spec but it should perform well

<The Rotation is>

CurseofElements>Immolate>Conflagorate>ChaosBolt>Incinerate
Now the hard part, Spam Incinerate until Conflagorate is up and Use it whenever its cooldown is finished, also remember to keep immolate up.

I feel that your instructions lack and this is not one of the best DPS rotations for a Destro Warlock. I as well would like to see you add the talent spec instead of saying "A good DPS Class. Destruction Spec." There is your criticism. I'm out.

Omfg! hate people knowing ZERO about warlocks!
Always go like this CoE>Immolate>CHAOS BOLT>Conflagrate>Incinerate
And just refresh Dot/Immo and use Chaos bolt and Conflagrate when they are of cd
Done around 40 tries with Chaos before Conflagrate and it show that you will loose 300-500 dps if u use conflagrate before Chaosbolt....

wrong! when using conflag you have a good chance of getting the pyroclasm proc which will then buff your chaos bolt. that's why you ALWAYS use conflagrate BEFORE chaos bolt. also, after using conflag your cast time of chaos bolt is decreased. so actually you're the one who knows nothing about locks. and note that you only have to use CoE if there is no: moonkin, unholy dk, other lock in your grp. if there is, use curse of doom(and curse of agony if your target won't life for more than 1 minute).

Actually it IS better to use chaos bolt before conflag, tested this on my own warlock aswell.

Because:
1. The 0.2-0.3 second lag between immolate being cast and conflag becoming available.
2. Incinerate benefits more from the haste of backdraft than chaos bolt.

Okay guide for a begginer i guess. It kinda helped me understand druid dps. So ya thankies :-p

[Deadly Tomato]

1.5 Druid, never played druid so this is the best i can do,



<The Rotation is>


InsectSwarm>MoonFire>Wrath continue Wrath until Eclipse buff >Starfire> continue starfire until eclipse is done. repeat.

I use IS, Wrath, Moonfire, Starfire and Starfall for max dps. IT's so you can get some big hits on him first up and increase chance of Eclipse.

[Trollblod]

And also! Shammy is always Flame shock, Lave burst, Lightning Bolt, and then just refresh, you will always lose 100-1000 dps if u use Chain of lightning instead of Lightning bolt if it is a Boss ( single target )

You should learn something before you scream. Chain lightning have less casting time than lightning bolt and almost the same damage, therefore it increases your damage. Yes, I've tried. I have that totem which give you 70%chance to get 400haste when Lightning bolt hits, but it's still not worth skipping CL.

[abhorsenjay]

You almost got warlock right, CoD is WAY better for your DPS on raids than CoE. Get another warlock to do your CoE's


CoD, Immolate, Conflag, Chaos bolt, Incinerate until timer is up


And this is all assuming that you are using the deep destro spec

Hi, you should also add rapid fire and hunter's mark on the hunters rotation, the 500 increased atk power on hunter's mark is quite good.

1.1: Lets Start with the Death Knight Class, this rotation is easy after a little practice. this is for blood spec.
<The Rotation is>

PlagueStrike>IcyTouch>HeartStrikex2>DeathStrike>DeathCoil (until DeathStrike cooldown up)> DeathStrike> HeartStrikex4

Sorry, but as far as I know, this is wrong for blood dps. See most (All?) blood dps use glyph of death strike. What this does is, makes your death strike do 1% damage per runic power you have. So, your real rotation should be something like PS>IT>HS>HS>DS>DC(once, and only if capped)>HS>HS>DS>DS
By waiting for hs to cooldown instead of ds, you can use ds after them, gaining RP and thus DS does a lot more damage.
