Hi there,

Currently im Specced 40/0/21 in Sunwell so that the tanks get an IMP, aswell as the Debuffs (Malediction, 5% less dmg).
My Classleader has argued that the following rotations:
Rotation1: SB -> Corr -> SB -> SL -> x SB
Rotation2: SB -> COR -> SL -> X SB.

I have wondered how that is supposed to be possible so i did some work:

Sorry for not adding a legend i was quick when doing this in Photoshop so heres a quick summary:
The Yellow background is just for enhanced visualization of your Timeline.
The Red Blocks represent a 2.5 Second shadowbolt cast.
The Blue Blocks represent one Global Cooldown of 1.5 Seconds.
The Vertical Turquoise lines represent an Initiated cast or a Global Cooldown start (quite logical when viewing)
The Green line above the Yellow box Represents an 18 Second Corruption duration.
The Orange line above the Yellow box Represents a 30 Second Siphon Life duration.

Assuming your main goal is to get off as much shadowbolts between reapplying CORR/SL you will end up with the exact same amount of SBS for both rotations, which in this case is 7 SBS for Rotation 1 and 7 SBS for Rotation 2 BEFORE you have to reapply corruption.

Now i might be getting something wrong here as im sure my class leader wouldnt say that Rotation 1 is superior to Rotation 2.

Might somebody please correct my analysis and point out where im wrong, or if my perspective/analysis has nothing to do with whether rot1 > Rot 2 and its superior for other reasons, i thought long about it and i cant come up with anything different.

And before somebody asks: Yes im assuming you have 0 Haste (in this scenario here) and you play with 0 Lag and you manage to time everything perfectly without moving and an Infinite Mana pool.

I would greatly appreciate anybody pointing me in the correct direction or stating where my analysis is flawed/wrong and or why my class leader is right about the rotation 1 being superior.

Thanks,
Stoli
