Darkhawks Rating: #4 (I believe the other Beastmaster/RB build will be higher DPS due to energy problems with this build but this is still a very decent build)

Heres a DPS Spec that has been very good for me, it is very similair to the old one.

26 Champ, 26 Beast, 14 Para (2h Build)

Macros:

Single
#show rising waterfall
suppressmacrofailures
petcast bite
cast backhanded blow
cast rising waterfall
cast slashing strike
cast Power Strike

Kill
#show Feral Sweep
suppressmacrofailures
cast deathblow
cast feral sweep
cast bladefury
cast tearing slash

GCD (Can add these straight into both AP generating macros, but i prefer out so I can time them when I want)
#show flinching strike
suppressmacrofailures
cast frenzied strike
cast flesh rip
cast flinching strike

AoE AP
#show mighty blow
suppressmacrofailures

(Mix Proper Timing in before Kill, it doesn't work well in macros from what I've found)

I haven't had a chance to really try out the 2H spec in raids..but yesterday I was averaging 1200-1500 dps on AoE mobs in T2 (hit 2000 on one pull), and 800+ on singles. Was pretty awesome. You are my hero

(hint, it involves pets, bursts and large weapons!!)

Hrmm are you still talking about dps raid specs?

Nothing says that you can't switch specs! use this on trash and a better single target for bosses

Is this the one you were telling me last night you were going to post? And thanks again!

no pie, this is a dungeon spec, I mean it will kill great solo.. but it has very little survivability

Dual weild Paragon / champ / Riftblade spec for Raids:

Paragon (44) / Riftblade (2) / Champion (20)

This as anything with paragon comes with a warning, Path of the Hurricane has a 20m frontal AoE cone. It will pull anything and everything remotely close to you by accident, use it accordingly and feel free to take it out of the macro and only use it manually, when there are no other mobs nearby to worry about.

This build also is designed for those trying to get the highest physical crit possible. S;ayers bearing adds 15% dmg to every crit, so the higher the physical crit rating the higher the DPS.

Macros:

Single Target (look familiar?)

#show Paired Strike
suppressmacrofailures
Cast Turn the Blade
Cast Inescapable Fury
Cast Frenzied Strike
Cast Paired Strike
Cast Path of the Hurricane
Cast Death Touch
Cast Rising Waterfall
Cast Path of the Raptor
Cast Path of the Wind
Cast Dual Strike

Finisher

#show Strike Like Iron
suppressmacrofailures
Cast Bend like the Reed
Cast Strike Like Iron
Cast Deathblow
Cast Fiery Burst

AoE

#show Thread the Trees
suppressmacrofailures
Cast Inescapable Fury
Cast Frenzied Strike
Cast Turn the Blade
Cast Thread the Trees
Cast Paired Strike
Cast Path of the Hurricane
Cast Mighty Blow
Cast Flinching Strike
Cast Bash

Current Raid 2h spec!! (I can't take credit for this, found on the forums though I did tweak it a little)

Spec: 38 Paragon, 22 Champion, 6 Riftblade

Paragon (38) / Champion (22) / Riftblade (6)

Comments: This is currently the highest parsing DPS spec i've seen, in general people do not utilize the paragon abilities in the spec, but for a boost in AoE damage I have used the save/loadequip commands again to switch between Dual Weild and 2 Hand easily. I have saveequip 1 set as my 2h and saveequip 2 as my dual weild weaps.

Macros:

Single Target AP

#show Power Strike
suppressmacrofailures
loadequip 1
cast Bull Rush
cast Death Touch
cast Rising Waterfall
cast Power Strike
cast Turn the Blade
cast Inescapable Fury
cast Frenzied Strike

Finisher

#show strike like iron
suppressmacrofailures
loadequip 1
cast Strike like Iron
cast Deathblow
cast Fiery Burst

AoE

#show Mighty Blow
suppressmacrofailures
loadequip 1
cast Thread the Trees
cast Mighty Blow
cast Turn the Blade
cast Inescapable Fury
cast Frenzied Strike

Path of the Hurricane AoE (use for AoE when available)

#show Path of the hurricane
suppressmacrofailures
loadequip 2
cast Path of the Hurricane

Ranged (Great for certain situations, like extra DPS on the Duke when he's in Fury mode)

#show Path of the wind
suppressmacrofailures
loadequip 2
cast Path of the Hurricane
cast Path of the Raptor
cast Path of the Wind
cast Flamespear

Buffs:
Storm Blade
Way of the Mountain
Slayer's Bearing
Focus of Body

New 2h Beastmaster Riftblade spec!! Hooray!! Typically in a raid setting it is good to have at least one person running a high BM spec for the enraged companion buff which increases damage for the whole raid 5%. This spec is very much so on par with the above Champ/Para/RB spec and overall is a very easy build that should be pulling 800+ DPS single target and 1600+ AoE. My top parses with self buffs and my max gear (800+ phys crit and ~800 AP) were 1100 Single target and 2200 AoE on dummies.

The Spec:

Champion (16) / Beastmaster (21) / Riftblade (29)

The Macros:

Single Target AP Generator:

#show Backhanded Blow
suppressmacrofailures
PetCast Pounce
PetCast Bite
cast Backhanded Blow
cast Slashing Strike
cast Stonespear
cast Flamespear
cast Power Strike
cast Flesh Rip
cast Bash
cast Inescapable Fury

Single Target Finisher 1:

Fiery Burst

Finisher 2:

Tearing Slash

AoE AP Generator:

#show Thunder Strike
suppressmacrofailures
PetCast Pounce
PetCast Claw Swipe
cast Slashing Strike
cast Thunder Strike
cast Flesh Rip
cast Bash
cast Inescapable Fury

AoE Finisher:

#show Storm Burst
suppressmacrofailures
cast Storm Burst
cast Earth Burst
cast Fiery Burst

Buffs:
Summon Greater Companion
Slayers Bearing
Enraged Companion
Planar Blade
Bond of Feline Grace
Bond of Might
Avatar of Water (not needed)

Comments: Bull rush is in the build and I put a point for in combat use, so throw it on the hotbar and use when needed. I don't include it in the macro because for certain fights it can be very harmful (Johlen specifically). Also rotate in Fierce Strike when you have all the bleeds up for a slight DPS increase. Lastly you can substitute Storm Blade for Planar Blade if you are doing AoE for quite awhile as you shouldn't have energy problems with the amount of AoE crits.

Darkhawk · « **Reply #10 on:** August 24, 2011, 07:23:25 PM »

At the top of each spec I have ratings indicating which ones I think are the most viable Raid specs to run. I will try to keep this up to date throughout the patches and hotfixes and I will delete Specs if/when I find something better for the similair roles.
