I'm in a relaxed guild myself, but i find competing with my self and other DPS'ers to be big part of the fun of the game for me personally. I recently saw sparkuggz Video, Destruction Workshop Episode #1, while i was trying to check if i could find anything new under the sun. Most of what he said i would agree with, but what really got me Questioning myself is what he says around min 11. Where he talks about the execute phase part of fights.
At the moment, when i reach this part of the fight is just swap CB for SB. Treating it the same way i would chaos bolt, meaing only casting it unbuffed if i was capping on embers, keeping track of buffs, and spending it with the biggest possible buffs i can. (also delaying DS 10-15 secs if my trinkets are about to get off CD, and trying to time 4 set if possible aswell) and ofc, only recasting Immolate if i can get atleast 2 ticks of prio to the targets death.
What he suggests is to Use CB if Procs are up, and else use SB to keep you from capping embers. Hes reasoning is that SB is only really worth it if it crits or to get it off right before procs are about to fate and you can't get off a CB. One of his reasoning also behind it, is that CB scales better with meta and haste and does more dmg than SB unless SB crits..
What do people Suggest for the Execute phase ?
And does CB higher dmg, really make up for the fact that SB is a instant cast, meaning more possible incinerates and conflags ?
