    Can someone on Beta help me out with a bloodbath question?

    Hey guys! So I'm curious about bloodbath when it comes to fury: would it be better to pool bloodsurge, raging blows, storm bolts, and maybe even sudden deaths for bloodbath, or is it better to just hit bloodbath on CD regardless of how much rage/how many abilities or procs you have? Just curious, because without CS I like the idea of saving things for bloodbath, but I don't want to be doing it if it's a dps loss :3

But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass.”

    Game is in open PTR now.

    Oh I know, but I have no way to track DPS. I was under the impression that those in Beta did?

    You can get a version of Skada that works on the PTR as well as the beta. I can't post a link yet because of post count, but just google 'skada wod'. It's on wowinterface.

    Recount (MOP version) works on the Beta/PTR too, PTR/Beta is basically the same thing aside from the content you have available to you.

    Other option is to just record logs and upload them. More accurate than recount or skada.

    But that's pretty impractical and more time consuming, "more accurate" is also questionable.. Since that would imply that either of those are inaccurate, which they are not. I've never seen World of Logs differ from Recount or Skada unless you're down to the arguement of which way is the best way to calculate a "dps" figure from this data.

    Please show me a skada version that shows you your buff/debuff uptimes or allows you to check what abilities were cast while Bloodbath is active.

    Accuracy and detail are two different things. You're confusing them.

    F'realsies though, anyone have an idea as to the answer to the question instead of just running in irrelevant circles? I'd assume on CD as is usually the case and was the case when we had CS, was rarely if ever worth delaying stuff more than a few globals even if it meant getting it inside a CS window. Similar to BS I'd think.
