Sinjyn Spec 1.5

[Barashin]

This is my new single target spec 1.5. Not only will this spec give you some massive stats, but the dps output is fairly impressive. Feel free to try it out.

32 BD/26 Sin/ 8 RS

2 Macros here.

Hoko Style Macro
#show backstab
suppressmacrofailures
cast backstab
cast puncture
cast precision strike
cast quick strike
cast keen strike
cast blade tempo
cast expose weakness

Double Coup (Burst Macro)
#show double coup
suppressmacro failures
cast double coup
cast precision strike
cast quick strike

Rotation:
Stealth/Jagged Strike (or Flash of Steel to close gap quickly) > Macro > Macro > Macro > Annihilate (+15% AP)
Macro > Macro > Macro > Macro > Macro > Deadly Strike
Repeat step 2 until it's time to refresh Annihilate (Which is 1 minute btw)
For burst dps, use Double Coup Macro for increase +75% damage on Twin Strike, Precision Strike, Quick Strike, and Keen Strike. (and yes, they hit hard.)

AoE:
Twin Strike and Dancing Steel

I have produced best numbers via boss dummy. 8 pts into RS is better than 10 pts MM because you get more AP and also Planebound Resistance (+42 Endurance Buff).

Forgot to add a line to Double coup macro

Last line should have: cast keen strike

What are your stats and how high are you parsing? I'm still looking for a good DD ST spec for an encounter like Grug.

Little tweak, have you compared it to this?

Usually damage reduction > more hps. Serrated blades is usually boosted to full and a good investment, and I think mastery is better then potency.

Doing 1350+ on Boss self buffs only. No fervor, no tablets, etc. Self Stats: 917 AP and 1207 Crit (50.17%)

As for moving pts, the build is pretty much the same. I could test mastery over potency and see if I net some dps.

Here is latest Act parse.

Again, just self buffs and no fervor or outside help.

Tested some other melee specs and I still think this is the best.

10mm > 8rs if u can spare 2 pts, 8rs gives 30% AP, 10mm gives 5% dmg and 25% ap, 5% dmg is HUGE, but the real key to mm is 15mm for the 25% ArP which does nothing to the dummy but is huge on actual raid bosses. build looks fine tho, hate keeping up annihilate tho...

It's something I thought about, but RS also gives ya more HPs as well. Plus, Annihilate is 60 seconds long and hits well.

I'll test the +10 MM and see if there is any difference.

This setup just gives allot of stats w/ the +15% AP.

Managed a couple parses on Boss dummy and the numbers are a tad higher. So, you can go 10 MM instead of 8 RS and get about the same damage (I suspect could be a tad higher w/ more AP). However, you do lose a nice HP buff.

The MM soul makes the roatation much easier though since you don't have to refresh Annihilate every 60 seconds.

I still like the AoE output this build gives you.
