Could you elaborate on that? I really don't understand how cleaving off the leg to the body could be a DPS loss even with the hotfix.

My impression is that Blade Flurry damage cleaved from the boss to the legs does not benefit from the 100% damage buff. It seems like it should, but the testing I've seen so far indicates that it doesn't.

I will attempt to locate the logs for my previous garalon kill.
If not i'll keep in mind to log this week's kill to clear up this issue.
My apologies if i might have confused anyone.

I use the "Need to Know" (NTK) add-on to track and display the time remaining on Envenom. I also use it to track Rupture and other key rogue buffs, debuffs, CDs. Highly recommended you take a look at it, via Curse.

For me, the energy pooled before Envenom depends on what else is going on at the moment, but generally as much as I can without subsequently capping energy. NTK gives me a good snapshot picture of overall status . . . whether it'll be a rupture or SND next, how many CPs are in Anticipation, etc.

On almost all fights I'll delay a few seconds to make sure I'm loaded before using SB. The exception would obviously be when delay would cause me to lose a CD during a fight. Getting max damage done during SB is more important to me than pooling for the next set of moves. Once SB is done, back to the normal pooling.

I'll leave the last two questions for those who know those areas well.

So far as I know, for Garalon, it is optimal to target each leg as it spawns, and let Blade Flurry hit the boss's body.

1. I use Rogue power bars. Allows me to add trinkets and such as well all in different colors, so i can see all my buffs and boss debuffs under my character's legs.

2. SB is quite dependent on whats going on. I generally find that using it with Vanish allows me to start while at 1/2 energy or so.

3. I tried this last night. The cleave to the leg doesnt take the 100% damage. What you are suggesting now is how it *should* work. But it doesnt.

4. Keep SnD & Rupture up and use the CT bug to generate loads of extra combo points. Personally, i dont target swap to multi-rupture that much , but we have only started 25m Wind Lord as we were stuck on Garalon for weeks.

Can you equip both the normal version and the heroic version of Elegons trinket, and would the procs stack?

Is there any idea on what might be the best items to upgrade with your valor points? Weapons that won't be upgraded soon are probably a good choice, but what about trinkets? Relic of Xuen is agility base with agility proc, might that be worth upgrading over the Bottle of Infinite Stars or Terror in the Mists?

Well, without knowing exactly how upgrading works - particularly for things with procs, like trinkets - its hard to be sure what the biggest upgrades are going to be. But as an initial assumption, it seems that the slots that provide the most benefit are the ones most likely to be worthwhile to upgrade. Under that assumption, the best slots are presumably:

1) MH Weapon
2-4) Chest, Legs, and Helm in some order.

Trinkets would generally be next on the list based purely on their direct benefit; Relic of Xuen might outperform that expectation based on its high quality relative to its ilvl (although whether it catches up to the above entries is anyone's guess). After that you get to, in some order, OH Weapon, Shoulders, Gloves, Belt, and Boots, with Rings, Amulet, Bracers, and Cloak bringing up the rear.

Sorry for my english, but it's not the first time i read about a CT/anticipation bug, and even after a research (not so big i apologize but so many thread and post...) i can't found the orignal post about it !

What this bugs do and how it works ?!
thanks for you answer...

CT/ Anticipation bug has been fixed.
