so yeah... not the greatest of solo parsing specs on the raid dummy because it energy starves so fast.
HOWEVER, in raid where you have massive opportunities for energy regen (bard) and aoe heal/dps core's (crit proc from either returns 4 energy per, no internal cooldown on this) the dps from this build scales exponentially.
On a fight with only 1 boss this spec does respectable dps and provides some useful utilities such as power core and curative core.
On a fight with 2+ mobs that are stacked or able to be in the cone range of the torrents, this spec pretty much obliterates all other specs and classes en masse. And the more rogue dps in raids running this spec the more it buffs the raid via Power Core and provides passive healing through curative core.
And for mass aoe burst it even beats/keeps up with sabo. =)
While the opening rotation is somewhat particular.. you can pretty much cheese the rotation down to this..
Glacial torrent full cast for max debuff stacks on boss/mobs>> infernal torrent>> glacial torrent>> infernal torrent>> empyrean bolt>> torrent primer finisher>> (Rinse and repeat). DO NOT LET YOUR DEBUFF STACKS ON YOUR TARGET FALL OFF. You can let your torrents run full duration or you can clip them. Clipping them will net you a little higher dps.
***Keep infernal beam up whenever it drops off. Keep up curative core- only exception is when you are running power core for the raid buff. technically you could use necrotic core but that is only worth it if there are 10+ mobs stacked. Reason is when your cores/torrents crit (heal or damage) you get 4 energy back which is HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE in this spec. Cannot stress this enough. Your energy gets hammered to crap if you don't get the most from energy returns.
***Use battle remote with Power core to simplify the cooldowns if you want.
Self Buffs-
Electrified munitions + Rending munitions + Restorative Engine + Energy alteration (not important unless you want to have rays/curative blast be no energy cost/instant cast/return energy which in most cases is a waste)
While it sounds complicated it really really really... is not. the most complicated part of it is positioning. Trust me when i say... stuff melts with this spec with 2+ mobs.
Niyah and I haven't played with it yet but I'd imagine with just 1 mob sub 30% you could switch over to necrotic torrent spam + necrotic bolt + necrotic engine. This we are still working on.
