This benchmark uses meaty asparagus (torment duration food).
This version is with the Jade Core Level 10.
Nightmare or Tormenting Runes?
I achieved very similar numbers with tormenting runes. Cant really tell you whats better because I didnt do the math here but it appears that nightmare runes + meaty asparagus food is the best. (Will update when this changes)
The rotation is very straight forward and easy, once you understand why you are doing what. Here are some tips I can give to you:
The precasted elixer´s blight does not get removed when you enter combat, that means you can precast it in every situation. The blight remains for 25 seconds and You consume those stacks in less than 10 seconds in your opener, so you can start precasting your elixers very early.
The opener focuses on applying your main dmg source which is torment. Overall you enter shroud almost off cooldown which allows for a high uptime of soul barbs.
Pistol2 and Scepter3 grant life force and is your priority when you cant stick to the rotation because of short boss phases or multiple enemy targets.
Make sure to hit the boss and yourself with the elixers so you apply the conditions and the blight to yourself. Prioritize the blight on yourself tho.
Dagger4 transfers conditions from blood is power and plaguelands to your target. If you know your conditions are about to get stripped, skip dagger4 since it does not do any important dmg.
Shroud1 is similar to axe1 on Necro. That means you will always have 2 hits. Make sure to not interrupt your second hit of your autoattack "chain".
