What class/build has the simplest rotation?

peteed1985
Are there any dps with a simple rotation? Like maybe one bar can be single target and one bar aoe? I suck at bar switching mid fight haha

    Most dps builds rely on applying damage over time skills on the back bar, switching to the front bar and either heavy attacking or using a spamable skill until dots are about to run out then switching back and repeating the whole rotation. So asking for a build where you want to stay on one bar for the whole fight will really limit your dps generally. Learning to bar swap as part of your rotation is something you really should do.

    Templars hands down, do not even need to switch bars for AOE or single target, thanks to sweeps/jab.

    For magic temps, bar looks like inner light- entropy- radiant glory- reflective light- sweeps ulti is metoer, rotation is simple, entropy to reflective then sweeps till you need to apply reflective again, keep up entropy at he same time, use glory under 25%. With decent gear and CP, this alone is 20k dps., More in AOE.

    Stamplar is similar, bar looks like trap- hidden blade or rally- power of the light- brawler or blood craze- bitting jabs. Rotation is trap, hidden blade/rally, PotL, then brawler/blood and jabs till everything is dead.

    Kinda hoped Stam Rogue would work like this haha.

    Reason I have issues is i'm an aspie so learning new stuff is hard and then I also have some manual dexterity issues so too many buttons is kinda awkward in combat.WADS is fine with 1, 2 and 3 and even 4 is kinda ok but 5 is awkward and so is `

    Add to that being aussie with 250 to 250ms latency and by the time i finish applying dots they are almost over and need reapplying.

    Perhaps a magplar dps can have a simple rotation but my magplar healer's rotation is not simple at all. Lots of bar swaps and reactive casting to what others are doing (or not doing, lol).

    My magsorc (matriarch, clannfear, lightning) rotation is quite simple. I don't use overload so only deal with two bars. Both bars have two pets on them. Back bar is to keep Purge and EleDrain up (refresh about every half minute). Front bar for Lightning, Blockade, Shield. Heavy attack when not casting. Heal pets when needed.

    Do you know of any reliable guides for this? I struggle in PvP and don't do this. I have a dual wield dagger set up and a bow set up. I pick one for a fight and normally get demolished.

    Ah sorry, my comment was more geared toward PvE dps. For PvP, it's all about single target burst. Focus an opponent and get them down as quickly as possible while trying to avoid anyone else who may also be attacking you. If there are too many to handle, RUN!

    For PVP, the best way to improve is dueling someone who is experienced over and over. Find a friend who can help you practice your CC, burst combo, managing your resources etc. Just remember any of those players you see who are out there killing everybody, at one time they were all beginners as well, just spent a lot of time practicing.
