Followup DPS when?

[Khauruk]

Those numbers are right for using both full-bore. The recast on Kron's is 12 seconds while Venin is only 4.5 seconds. (He did use less of other stuff...notice how few poison and cold nukes there are.)

Krons can be cast about 100 times in 30 minutes (>3x/minute).  The disparity may be from how he plays though while burning lesson - when I was in Kaesora w/ Khauruk, I'd be pulling 2-3 and burning the first one(s) down, and letting lifetaps and fpos heal me up on the last one.

I think Nusa is right, try casting 3 Shout at the Moon's for every Tuzil's Feralgia and it should save you quite a bit of mana in the long run.  I would also suggest trying to use Frozen Venin more often and Sarsez' Bite less for the same reason if agro isn't a problem.


For my casting order I'm going on the theory that the BP focus along with all of the spell procs (range aug, resonant tonic, gift of mana, SHAWL) I have will push FV to a higher level of efficiency because I'm getting such a high number of casts and thus procs from all of those items.  I developed this for raids where I almost always have a bard and usually MR for important situations where the spell procs show up in a bigger way.  This might not be ideal for grouping/soloing but it feels like it for me.

Will have to mem Shout then, I only have Tuzil's memmed as far as the swarm pets go atm. I do run out of mana faster than I would like ;) Looked through the spells cast log on gamparse and not sure why it doesn't show all the focused paragons, because I know I pretty much clicked that as often as I could. Only shows focused paragon cast twice, should be more like 20.
This was over about an hour of fighting; moved to MC after killing 4 mobs in Feerrott.

While in MC, couldn't cast as much as I wanted since I kept grabbing agro, and I can't really tank that stuff very well. Not to mention the mana issue if I were to cast as much as I wanted :P Had a good 35 minutes of constant pulls when we ran lesson.

This how I parsed tanking the Gardener mission while using a shield:

The trend I was noticing earlier is repeated here as well.
