Rupture-less cycle is the best way to go. 20/51 is by far the best combat spec, regardless of your MH weapon choice, as the increase to your poison damage will up your dps. As far as ArP goes i sit at 633 ArP and a futher 678 ArP when trinket procs. I use a combination of ArP gems and Agil gems, to maintain AP and Crit whilst gaining the bonus of ArP. I usually top the dps with 8.2 – 9.5k dps. Its a balancing act, but rupture, should no longer be used in your rotations.

The new Rupture-less cycle atm since 3.3 is…20/51/0, i am agi gemed and i am usually top dps at about 6-7k, rupture cycle would bring me to about 6k and now with poison buffed 20/51 is really the best way to go

Lower Gear = Rupture > Evis in rotations
Higher gear = Evis > Rupture in rotations

What is the best rotation for 15/51/5?
My previous rotation —>
1st Cycle —> Tricks of the Trade > Pop Trinket (670 AP for 20 sec.) > Killing Spree > Blade Flurry > Adrenaline Rush > SS 5/5 > 16 sec. Rupture > 14 sec. SnD (If Ruthlessness 3/3 procs. If not then SS 1/5 to a 14 sec. SnD). Start 2nd Cycle
2nd Cycle —>SS 5/5 > 16 sec. Rupture > 14 sec. SnD (If Ruthlessness 3/3 procs. If not then SS 1/5 to a 14 sec. SnD) > SS 5/5 Evis > 14 sec. SnD (Again only if Ruthlessness procs.)

My gear score is 2147, pretty average. I’ve always used that cycle above. I just now tested the Ruptureless-Rotation , all I did was switch the 5/5 Rupture with a 5/5 Evis. I gained 450 DPS just from that small change.
So my question to you all… What is the best

note:

for those of us without t8 4pc set bonus, the threshold of gear to switch to ruptureless is much lower. I get a ~40dps gain from 18/51/2 ruptureless build according to latest sheet.

“Low Rupture” is ~70%, “High Rupture” is ~90%.

Quick question to those in the know,

When the sheet is recommending a Low Rupture cycle, what kind of uptime should we be aiming for?

Zaltu,

again great post.

I was wondering if you could clean up some of the other rumors/theories/and ideas going around.

Lately it seems that there is just so much going on at EJ its hard to follow.

like ruptureless cycles, weapon offhand swapping, tier 8 vs tier 9, double WP, diff btw high rupture and low rupture cycles, serrated blades for mut/combat specs, etc.

I know that there is no hard rule as to what you should be doing and Aldriana’s spreadsheet for the most part will tell you what you should be doing based on your current gear level but it would be nice to get some understanding around some of the talk that is going on out there. Thanks.

So the best spec I should do is 15/51/5 ?

Great info. as always. I am a little behind the curve in raid progression due to so many reasons, but the T8 bonuses seem too good to give up. I have 3 pieces of T9 and my numbers (thanks to the spreadsheet) are still better wearing the 4 T8… so until I get the 4th piece of T9 I’ll be enjoying my rupture crits thank you very much.

I wish I could continue to use that spreadsheet, unfortunately if you happen to have shit luck with drops or raid casually for a while, you’re gear will be removed from the sheet making it a useless tool.
