Just experimenting things, it's a dps loss but I probably preferred having a bit more range since Brand is single target so you can stand at absolute max range and the boss was desyncing a lot. It's been a while since I have last played Madness.

I think this guy does a pretty good job at demoing it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Os1yu0bJEWY.html

now thats weird. at least UH wasnt parked next to titax this pull 🤷

Painnnn

I blame Kef

Thank you kind sir

If your team is eating a lot of cleave, then yeah. If you are struggling with healing/dtps, you could try stacking Maras (I'd personally recommend Carnage or Fury, Anni heals can be a bit tricky with curse). The camo "bug" is still in the game where if the Monolith targets a mara with scream and the mara camos right before it finishes cast, it breaks the cast, recasts and fails it. It doesnt work on sin or oper, only mara's camo. You can see this at 7:50 for example.

Thänk juu :)

Draining. You get better output once you get used to it, or so I feel at least.

@@kep7032 Ah ok, I only play juyo atm, but I'd like to learn draining sometime. Also what abilities/rotation did you use/prioritize on the Phase 1 adds?

@@rotatorcuffs8140 This is going to be a bit of a scuffed explanation and might contain some minor inaccuracies. I highly recommend learning draining though if you play a lot of marauder, but juyo is still good and is only slightly worse (probably like only 0.5k parse difference on average rn). I'm pretty sure that on the theorycrafter discord server there is a good break down if you scroll up chat history and search for draining. When playing draining I hit berzerk and rend when there is one stack of deadly saber left to be applied. After that you have the two "special GCD windows" and the priority is a bit difficult to explain. There are a few things to be aware of. First prio is to not proc your tactical in the first ability after hitting zerk and rend, i.e. all the throwing abilities such as DST and VT should be saved for 2nd special gcd slot. Do not use double saber throw or vicious throw on that one. This is because procing tactical on first eats your zerk stacks faster which causes a dps loss since we want to maximize those on deadly saber procs (this is why we hit zerk + rend when there is only one stack of deadly saber left to be cast). This is a minor sin so if it happens when practicing or if situation calls for it (target is at range) it's not a big deal. For 1st ability after rend highest prio is Annihilate, then Ravage > Battering (only if you are going to be 10 rage or lower) > Slash. For the 2nd it's DST > VT > Battering (only if 10 rage or lower) > Ravage (if not used before and below 12 rage) > Annihilate > Slash. However I quite often end up doing in a perfect world with everything off cooldown do the following: DS1 slash DS2 annihilate, berzerk rend DS3 Ravage DST VT because Ravage is a waste to use outside of berserk window imho since it doesnt build rage. I am not exactly sure if this is a very minor dps loss (instinctively i would say yes), but there are better annihilation players out there than me who can probably answer that. You can (and probably should, not sure) do DS1 slash DS2 slash zerk rend DS3 annihilate DST VT. VT after DST is nice because tactical proc from DST gives autocrit on next VT or slash, and VT does more base damage than slash and VT will be up for your next zerk window if you dont re-proc DST from CD. When going for adds in the first phase I sometimes use DST outside of zerk window just because of the range and to maintain dps uptime when predating to an add (better damage than using leap). This kill isnt the best example because I make a few mistakes as im still getting used to the fight (another example can also be seen on wasting undying on phase 2 and not having it for the enrage lol). Outside of the two special windows just spam slash and make sure to activate deadly saber in time/not too late to hit that zerk rend when there is only one stack left. Battering assault is best used in the zerk window (if you absolutely need to) but sometimes you get shit RNG and have to use it during slash spam phase without building rage, but it happens and you can pray to RNG gods that you wont lose 1 gcd before you can zerk and rend again. I believe in delaying my rend by 1 gcd if needed (i.e. i will do one more filler before hitting zerk and rend if i have 2 stacks of DS on me when zerk is available and rend comes off from cd). Zerk rending with 0 stacks of DS is also not good and a big dps loss.

@@kep7032 What was your team composition here?

@@rotatorcuffs8140 Jugg & PT tanks, 2x vengeance, 1x hatred, 1x anni, sorc & merc heals. On some later kills we did 1x vengeance 1x carnage 1x annihilation 1x hatred to have armor breaks on both sides but that's nitty gritty. Anni and hatred are top tier on 2nd phase due to their ability to cheese most slams but PT rebounders and jugg reflects are king on phase 1.

Yeah, I really think getting rid of that 2nd initial reaper in burn (9:48 to 10:52) makes a huge difference since it's so much easier to juggle the one reaper (and manage interrupts if not kited properly) during that penultimate recursive. The timing of the burn was 👌because we didn't even leap it to kill it with the red circle.

2.2k alacrity (minimum 2054), rest to crit. If you are running Zeal perk you can get away with 1.5k alac. As per usual 110% accuracy. Dispatcher implant and Berserker implant with Spiteful Saber tactical

@Kep thanks, I was using berserker and fearless Victor but it seems I wasted my tf and should've bought a dispatcher instead

@@RG-xv3wc Np, dispatcher is almost a must on anni and carnage. On anni you can run berserker or fearless as second implant, but I prefer berserker and think it's slightly better. On carnage i take fearless secondary tho. And fearless is useful on jugg specs so it's not a complete waste to buy.

@Kep I actually have my juggernaut already geared so maybe I'll use it for carnage 😂

Hit escape > preferences > user interface > scroll down to "cooldown settings" section > show cooldown text And thanks, I figured the music needs to be sufficiently creepy for the dread master setting.

For the rotation to work you need to take the utility called Plaguemaster on lvl 27 in the utility tree. Plaguemaster makes your dots "explode" and do all their damage at once when you use Shock. The rest of the utilities is more mix and match and based on the fight. The rotation itself is pretty simple. Impside: Death Field/Death Brand> Force Leech > Force Lightning > Creeping Terror > Affliction > Demolish (should be glowing) > Shock > Creeping Terror > Affliction > Force Lightning > Force Lightning (but you cancel a bit early). Then start over from Death Field/Death Brand. You want to use Force Speed on Force Leech and Recklessness on Death Field/Death Brand. Polarity Shift and Adrenal is best used right before you use Shock. Hope this helps.

@@kep7032 thank u very much!!!

@@Tkokat You're welcome :)

To address some of your concerns: Normally I would say that fish are probably in the clear here since there is no water, but I played the LotS expansion. Those fish definitely walk and breathe on land, but they are also busy being slaughtered on their homeworld. Another peaceful day in the Empire. Unicorns I'm a bit unsure about. Those Nihrot monstrosities could be unicorns that have simply consumed too much of the local basement herbology (or a healthy mixture of moon sugar and skooma), so no promises there either. Hamsters were definitely harmed, since as we all know the servers are quite literally ran by Bob and Jerome who tirelessly spin the hamster wheels to provide us with ample opportunities for entertainment. Unfortunately the only explanation I could think of for the pull at roughly 35 seconds is that Jerome must have sneezed sending Kanoth into the team prematurely. Let's hope that he can recover from his flu. Hopefully my responses seem less schizophrenic than whatever the current expansion story's plotline seems to be :) P.S. My legal counsel would like me to reiterate that I do not encourage or condone animal violence.
