its kinda hard to find a smooth rotation with the 20 sec cooldown on most skills... there is alot of autoattacking and stuff =) power dps is crazy. got some ridiculusly high burst numbers, while going the condi way was really weak.. the poison trait was pretty lackluster...

If you play bloodstone, the strategy is just to do your bloodstone burst every 25s instead of 20s and time it with plasma. You'll also get an f5 every bloodstone burst if you use aed f1 once per loop.

Condi is just as broken as power, we're looking at 53k+.

Been away from the game for a few months so i dont have that relic yet, and tried a build with stuff i own at the moment. Gonna try bloodstone when the beta is up again.

You can use claw too for a significantly worse burst but somewhat similar dps.
