Alternate Rotation

This rotation avoids using crit buffs like meteorstrike, leading to a far more consistent albeit slightly slower rotation

Phase 1

dba spec → wait for 120% adren → zerk + adrenrenewal → vulnbomb + nip + gbarge + callfollower → 4t smokecloud + destroy → 5t gflurry → equip jawsoftheabyss + gfury → veng + backhandflank + escape → assault → overpower

​

Phase 2

smash → ingen + ezk spec → sever → gfury → backhandflank → sever → dismember → bloodtendrils → smash → reflect → smokecloud + sever → veng + powerburstofvitality + reprisal → res → gbarge → gflurry → dismember → smash → equip vestmentsofhavochood + gfury → anti → zerk → equip jawsoftheabyss + gbarge → destroy → smash → dragonlongsword eofspec → sever → stall slice + run to Nefthys + pre-throw vulnbomb at 1st Nefthys

​

⬥ Pray soulsplit for all 3 hits of Obliterate, res should heal you on the 2nd hit

⬥ This phase is not 100% consistent, it is normal to be 5-10k off phasing before scarabs

⬥ Stalled slice is just to build adren, it is not released on Nefthys

⬥ Aim to finish P2 by 1:00

​

Phase 3

​

Wait 2t after Nefthys spawn + gbarge → gflurry → 3t assault → gfury + surge / bd to 2nd Nefthys → vulnbomb + smash → overpower → punish + surge to Nakatra → dismember → ‎ ‎chaosroar → ezk spec → sever

​

Phase 4

Shadowsands

divert + surge / bd to Soul Storm → TC 1st felineakh + gfury → pulverise → TC 2nd felineakh + 3t gflurry → deci → TC gorillaakh + sever + release Soul Fragments + equip vestmentsofhavochood

​

⬥ Spam click Nakatra before getting dragged into Shadowsands in order to retain target

⬥ This rotation is given as an example, but will require improv depending on adren. You want to end on at least 100% adren and equip vestmentsofhavochood before leaving

⬥ Aim to leave Shadowsands by 1:45

​

Nakatra

anti → freedom → vulnbomb + nip + gbarge → bd to Hieroglyph + zerk + veng → limitless + destroy → equip jawsoftheabyss + zemouregalsnexus + stall gfury → release gfury + backhandflank + adrenrenewal → assault → punish → smash → overpower → reflect → gfury → divert → ingen + dragonclaw eofspec → dragonclaw eofspec → improv until dead

​

⬥ Assuming you don't lose ticks, you should walk back to dodge the Sanctum Shockwave after punish and after overpower

⬥ Pray deflectmage for the 2nd and 3rd hit of Obliterate

⬥ Optionally can bring a portentofdeath and proc it on the Sanctum Hieroglyphs after Obliterate in order to get a free 30k damage
