[BM] Lynx Rush vs Blink Strike

[dzidek]

I'm confused. Top hunters in my realm use Blink Strike. But world top hunters rather choose Lynx Rush.

What is your opinion? Which one gives more dps?

I currently use Lynx Rush, but maybe it's time to switch to Blink Strike.

[MasterHamster]

Lynx Rush is excellent for AoE using beast cleave, while Blink Strike... well I guess it can be useful on fights with a lot of target switching far in-between. Otherwise Blink Strike seem to perform worse than Lynx Rush even on single target. Don't quote me on that 'cause I haven't properly tried it out yet, taking different cooldowns in account

[Spiralphoenix]

Pretty positive Lynx Rush does not work with beast cleave. A Murder of Crows is simming higher than both Lynx and Blink - only reason I see to take either is if you need either Lynx: very quick burst or Blink: constant target swapping.

Murder is the biggest dps boost??

[Azortharion]

Go AMoC unless you need quick burst.

Soooo the winner between Lynx Rush and Blink Strike is... AMoC

[Tehterokkar]

I prefer LR over AmoC any day, LR is free and Amoc is 60 focus, which is so damn high ;_;... Also LR is basically 4 seconds, and aMoC is 30 seconds duration, thus I can use it on adds if I want to. Blink strike should not even be discussed, it just lacks compared to LR/aMoC when paired with Readiness.(2 min/1.5min CD vs. 20 sec CD)

DPS: aMoC > LR
Actual viability: LR > aMoC

*with your current items in your simulated setup

The difference is fairly large and neither ability is really complex enough that others will see much different results, in femaledwarf. It's possible that in future tiers maybe that one of them will scale more quickly than the other, but I'm pretty confident in saying that the vast majority of people will see a somewhat substantial simulated DPS increase from aMoC over Lynx/Blink right now. Nothing wrong with simulated setups - what else are you going to go off of?

A valid point, the 60 focus is a PITA I will admit, but it hardly makes it not viable. Annoying =/= not viable. As I said before, of course you would choose Lynx rush in a situation that requires high, quick burst or just doesn't cater to a 30 second long debuff, but otherwise, unless it irritates you that much to use, aMoC should come out on top.

lynx rush is also a lot easier to stack cooldowns with. Amoc you have to try and get as much cooldown time within it as possible to make it worthwhile plus there's a few second delay to when it actually starts doing damage.

Yes it does.

definatly lynx rush.
every 2nd lynxrush you stack with bw and synapsesprings if ur ingi)
+when you have the agi on use trinket every lynx rush is doing dmg with a 4200agi procc + beastial wrath every 2nd lynxrush

[danko215]

Yes it does.

No it doesn't.


Do you see the logic in both these statements? Keep looking.......keep looking........keep loooking. Nope, there is absolutely none. Please try to be more constructive with your information. How many of your 2k+ posts are this bad?

[Tehterokkar]

Yes it does.

It doesn't, Beast Cleave tooltip says "your pet's melee attacks", the attacks that your pet does, not the castable spells you do(KC/LR/BS)

And Lynx Rush makes your pet perform 9 melee attacks.

Unless they've changed it from beta, it should be working with beast cleave now as well

EDIT: tried it, didn't proc Beast Cleave, how unfortunate

The attacks Hunter cast(KC/BS/LR) Do not benefit from Beast Cleave, otherwise LR would be OP as fuck in AoE

really? ive been playing around with them a bit, and murder of crows seemed the worst one to me, the damage on it was amazingly low

sims are not real gameplay... macroing Rabid with Lynx rush is the best DPS in game. Sims are just sims they are not what really happens.

I'm geting more from aMoC then the top BM in logs w/ Lynx rush, and over 1M more. LR doesn't line up w/ any CD's you have to delay some, when aMoC line upe w/ BW, and cost a proper amount of focus under aBW.
Someon talked about vialiability. On each reddines you can actualy "multi dot" w/ aMoC.
And talking about anoience LR is far more anoying when it give's your pet parry as it ports it in the boss face.
So talking pure dps increase aMoC wins on non AoE encounters.
A lot of people neglect aMoC as the fix to mastery increasing its damage came quite late on beta.

Right, because sims can't account for something so complicated as stacking two cooldowns.

[Shinzai]

I'm not so sure about AMoC any more. Given that only 1 AMoC can be in effect at a time, it means you have to delay all of your openings by 10 seconds until it's finished, or just sacrifice DPS. Where as with Lynx, you can hit Lynx, BW and all the rest, then readiness and do it all again, immediately. Also Lynx will sync with Readiness usage if used on cooldown.
