    You are correct on the feytouch / IT bug. IT extends the cooldown of Feytouch but not the buff....permanent downtime.

    I thought the same about icy rays, but was advised by Sharpie to use repel. Probably due to short cooldown. However he also did not see that there would really be a reason NOT to use ROE since meeting the cap would be harder in mod 12. @thefabricant can chime in if he wishes.



    As for ROE, did you test the debuff AND the dot? I understand that the dot does not stack (it gets refreshed) but was under the assumption (false?) That the debuff would stack with more than one CW. To be honest, I always run with ROE just because of the debuff and am usually the only CW.

    RoE dot definitively stacks.

    Tested it on a dummy with high enough recovery and I don't lose a single tick, heck, I sometimes GAIN one!

    Since i only play one main and nothing else i didn't have much to spend ad on so i bought both a fey and a bile for testing purposes.

    To this day i have been using aoe rotation with lightning on bosses, now trying to get the fey, coi,roe, chill, disintergrate rotation polished, a couple of questions, my rotation is so messy especially when i use Cavalry's warning and GWF as new active.

    1. So i upgraded the GWF sigil to mythic and use that as active but i don't fully understand why this is better than wheel, does it proc stuff wheel doesn't or, on a single target it gives 6% and nothing else?

    2. After i switched to company cloak i have 36 INT, would i benefit more putting 5 into learned spellcaster compared to having 2 in Arcane Enhancement and 1 in Fight on as i have right now?

    3. Does the gwf active stack with cavalry's warning so i should first pop mount power to get +10% stats and then directly after gwf active to get 6%+?

    4. How do u manage to have 240k HP and still high life steal, i have about 180HP and 8% Life steal, do you proc lifesteal on companion? I use sellsword with 6 offensive and 6 brutals in there so no lifesteal to proc there. I cant see any logic to switch to con artist to get a defensive slot for lifesteal?

    I once again feel that i'm missing something here, after a couple of test FBI:s i feel that i hardly do any more dps compared to when i run full aoe with lightning, maybe it is the single target rotation that i totally messed up but feeling a bit depressed.

    SH LS boon plus defensive slots on companion equipment equal about 39%LS. I use loyal avenger gear, so offensive and defensive enchantment slots.

    Also read the CW Mechanics guide in this thread by @thefabricant (Sharpedge, sharpie...amoung other names) to understand enchantment interactions.

    I use Bloodstained Shirt, 2/3 last ToD boon for 5% LS, 2x Savages and few insignias of Leeching and it gives me around 13-14% LS.

    1. The GWF sigil boosts all your forms of damage, while the wheel doesn't proc off a lot of CW procs (or aura of courage) You can see the full review in fabricants mechanics guide. Whether or not that makes the GWF sigil better than the wheel for single target, I'm still not convinced on.

    2. Not quite sure what you mean, you have to put those points in arcane enhancement and fight on in order to unlock learned spellcaster.

    3. Shouldn't matter which order. Though using the GWF sigil last is probably best as it's the bigger buff, so you'll want as much uptime as possible on it.

    4. Boons alone can get you to 8% then, depending on your defensive enchantment of choice you can get another couple percent. You can also use blood stained shirt for another 2%. I usually hang out around 10% total and close to 220k HP.

    I too went through a similar phase when I couldn't get the "proc rotation" to work. My advice, just use whatever rotation you like more. The difference is negligible.
