#saint.txt#bc that spec is DoT central and only some of them are on similar timers (and this is an MMO with no CDs on abilities)#keep both of your AoEs rolling constantly but also DO NOT overlap casts or we'll kill you bc that's a waste of mana.#they are both on similar but different timers and typically on your backbar.#(not overlapping casts bc it wastes resources to refresh too early goes for literally all of your abilities btw)#also you have three different buffs (all are also on differing timers) that need to also have 100% uptime. the bow one especially we'll tal#abt that in a minute. your other fill-ins (your spammables) are also all either single-target DoTs (debilitate) or summon shade and#guess what these also have timers. all of these timers are different even slightly so drift is common and it becomes more a game of#'oh god all the timer alerts are going off all at once deal with it' game than a typical MMO rotation.#that's not even talking abt the NB bow skill which is core to the class and requires you more than any other class to know and be good#at weaving bc for both the bow (which requires 5 LAs to use) and your own sustain bc of a self-buff you have to keep rolling#you HAVE to be constantly light attacking for your DPS AND your own sustain you literally do not have a choice#so you also have to manage not overcapping bow casts while also having to flip bars constantly to refresh your timers while weaving#bc in my case bow is on front bar and if you overcap bow charges bc you're on the back bar refreshing wall of elements#we will personally kill your ass.
