I didn't add this because I wasn't sure I actually had read it right at the time, but for those saying BM is hard because "you have to time FF after BW", here is what EJ say about it:
Also the whole readiness and pet-managing issues are non-existent as all three specs have it.Focus Fire should be used when we have 5 stacks of Frenzy, preferably just before a BW if one is coming up, for the immediate focus boost to the pet, as well as the increased focus regen during BW.
I agree I should've said MM was harder before the patch, but still I find it harder than BM. Maybe it's just me, what can I say. Or maybe it's this (from EJ):
SV is a joke for sure. ^^Careful Aim Phase
Aimed Shot (AI) is always the focus dump.
Do not use Glaive Toss (GT) during this phase unless there are other targets to hit besides the primary target.
When unhasted:
- Perform a combination of the following cycles to balance focus. The cycles should be roughly alternated by just adding in the additional Steady Shots (SS). With the T14 4P, the second cycle is needed in two of every 3 cycles.
-- CS-SSx3-AIx2
-- CS-SSx4-AIx2
During Bloodlust:
- Perform a combination of the following cycles to balance focus. The cycles should be roughly alternated by just adding in the additional SS. With the T14 4P, the second cycle is needed about between 2 of every 3 cycles of 3 of every 4 cycles.
-- SSx3-AIx3
-- SSx4-AIx3
During Rapid Fire:
-- The additional haste and focus generally allows an AS for SS replacement over the Bloodlust cycle.
-- Perform the following cycle. To balance focus, either skip an SS every 5th cycle SS-AI pair or add an AI every 7th SS-AI pair. With the T14 4P, either skip and SS every 7th SS-AI pair or add an AI every 9th pair.
--- SSx3-AIx3
Standard Phase
When unhasted:
- Use Arcane Shot (AS) as the focus dump.
- Perform a combination of the following cycles to balance focus. The first cycle can be used on the majority of cycles with substituting an SS for an AS about every 11th cycle. With the T14 4P, the second cycle is needed about every 8th cycle.
-- CS-SSx3-ASx4
-- CS-SSx4-ASx3
During Bloodlust:
- Use AS as the focus dump.
- The haste from Bloodlust allows an additional AS to be included in the cycle.
- Perform a combination of the following cycles to balance focus. The first cycle is the default with substituting an SS for an AS about every 4th cycle. With the T14 4P, the second cycle is needed about every 3rd cycle.
-- CS-SSx3-ASx5
-- CS-SSx4-ASx4
During Rapid Fire:
- Use AS as the focus dump without the T14 4P and optionally with the T14 4P.
-- The additional haste and focus generally allows an AS for SS replacement over the Bloodlust cycle.
-- Perform a combination of the following cycles to balance focus. The first cycle is the default with substituting an SS for an AS about every 3rd cycle. The same ratio works for the T14 4P.
--- CS-SSx2-ASx6
--- CS-SSx3-ASx5
- Use AI as the focus dump with the T14 4P.
-- Perform a combination of the following cycles with alternating the cycles to balance focus. The second cycle just adds an additional SS.
---CS-SSx4-AIx4
---CS-SSx5-AIx4
Kill Shot Phase
During this phase, the same focus dump should be used in the same situations as for the Standard Phase.
When unhasted:
- Use AS as the focus dump.
- Perform a combination of the following cycles. To balance focus, roughly 3 of the first cycle is needed for every 2 of the second cycle. With the T14 4P, roughly 5 of the first cycle is needed for every 4 of the second cycle.
-- CS-SSx2-ASx5
-- CS-SSx3-ASx4
- This cycle has an AS for SS substitution compared to the Standard Phase.
During Bloodlust:
- Use AS as the focus dump.
- The haste from Bloodlust allows an additional AS to be included in the cycle.
- Perform a combination of the following cycles. To balance focus, approximately alternate the cycles. With the T14 4P, roughly 3 of the first cycle is needed for every 2 of the second cycle.
-- CS-SSx2-ASx6
-- CS-SSx3-ASx5
During Rapid Fire:
- Use AS as the focus dump without the T14 4P and optionally with the T14 4P.
-- The additional haste and focus generally allows an AS for SS replacement over the Bloodlust cycle.
-- Perform the following cycle every cycle which despite performing the minimum number of SSs, still overcaps focus. The same applies for the T14 4P.
--- CS-SSx2-ASx6
- Use AI as the focus dump with the T14 4P.
-- Perform a combination of the following cycles. To balance focus, 5 of the second cycle is needed for 1 of the first cycle. The second cycle just adds an additional SS.
