✭✭both at the same time. Keep the twin slash dot up all the time and use flurry(rapids) as main dps. good stuff now on pts1 -
Stannum✭✭✭✭FB is spammable burst attack skill, BC is healing DoT.
So if your main attack skill is DW - use FB, if not - use BC.0 -

Saw video about this blood craze and rapid strikes with heavy attack weaving and trying that out for some better dps since I've always been bit disappointed of the dw stamina damage. Hopefully update 5 will make it even better, still some learning to do with timing. Also mob special attacks and heavy attacks many times forces you to change to block/interrupt in middle of the rapid strikes.Syntse Dominion Khajiit Dragonknight Stamina Tank [50]

✭Honestly, what dancing.in.the.webeb17_ESO said, Flying Blade is the way to go. Even in my full, 140 spell damage, 2600 melee magicka build I still put FB on my bar sometimes.
If it wasn't for the fact that I really like Shade teleport on my main bar FB would always be on there, it's just perfect when a fight has extended longer than you'd like and you have a stamina dump, with a snare that can even be used from stealth and crit for around 600 even with my above magic heavy build.
FB makes me scream so hard that I don't have 6 slots. 5 slots for the consoles is just an awful idea, you can only put the skills you 100% can't do without on your bar, no room for variation in many builds.Edited by CapuchinSeven on October 31, 2014 11:07AM1 -
TheBucket✭✭✭✭Blood Craze is amazing. Its my main attack. Low stamina cost and weaved with a light attack its great sustain dps.William Reignes

✭✭I use one weapon skill for when my Magicka runs out, so either of them, so long as it does damage, and allows my magicka regenerates.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭✭✭i dont use flurry in PvP. if i do, twin sisters will kill me.
i use blood craze. it costs VERY little stamina, and can be kept on the entire battle if you can manage your stamina right.
for PvE: flurry, as most powerful endgame enemies are completly immune to the bleeding effect; making twin slashes almost useless(as its the bleed damage that makes it shine, the up front damage is not that great) flurries' repeated strikes can do good damage, as most mobs in PvE dont block and cast the entire battle, allowing you to deal good damage.
be sure to use sparks no matter which you use, it is a VERY good ability. i was able to kill an S&B DK with it today, something that i never did before. Also have Aspect of fear, impale/killers blade(NB executioner, first in assassiation skillline) and whatever 5th ability you want)Edited by Cody on November 13, 2014 4:26AM0 -
In pve - u should use both . Mark target up all the time, twin slash up all the time and than rapid strikes . Incapacitate should be up all the time and your left mouse button pressed constantly ( wawing heavy attacks ).
In pvp i use flying blade as only skill from dw coz i finde it more flexible than other two.Edited by tino.antoninieb17_ESO on November 13, 2014 8:56AM0 -

As a dw sorc, flying blade is my main single target attack. Stamina:damage ratio is great for burst and crits very reliably. After a successful dark magic cast, FB can crit roughly 75-80% of the time for massive damage (that heals me, when paired with Crit Surge). To put it in perspective, I can be at 5% heallth in a boss fight and with two or three Flying Blades can be back near 100% health.
I normally roll with this on my PvE single target bar:

Blood craze will heal you a bit+bleed, and you can use it while blocking.
Rapid Strikes will do more dmg, but you can get stunned while using (like from crystal fragment) + your block will interrupt it.
(for me blood craze is 500 dps, rapid strike is 700 dps. so there is a difference, but can get stunned and thats problem+ no heal, no bleed)Edited by Kypho on November 21, 2014 12:20PM2 -

i myself dont use flurry anymore. its easy for players to just roll and dodge half of its strikes.0
