Fury of the Titans 18k DPS- A52

[@seleckt6600]

Great vids, mate. Been on ascension for close to 10 years now, but it's nice to have a touchstone to see where builds are at after taking a hiatus without needing to do weeks of experimentation again. FotT has always been a favorite of mine, even if it's always underperformed. Glad to see it's holding it's own now with tbc on Thrall.

[@gogautote]

I don't play ascension anymore, but i still love watching your vids on builds. It scratches that itch in me. much love, thank you :)

[@Cyl444444]

TBC launch on Thrall is in 2 days , lots of big updates coming from the League 4 server , complete rework on applying RE's now they go ON THE SLOT instead of the piece of gear . Loads of new builds coming with new abilities , gonna be a fun one !

[@borionwaffles1068]

recently I've been attempting to adapt your builds for pvp. So far, been doing really well actually!

[@Optoe]

Thats good to hear! Usually if it performs well in pve it does well in pvp too minus all the CCs lol.

[@teodorsota875]

Your builds are always Nice to watch :D WP If by any chance one day u would make a Spell Shredder that would be cool as well ! Big Up for the good work :D

[@Cyl444444]

Love when you post , one of the few who still makes build videos that actually fuck . Is there any chance you would be making a Stormborn build on Thrall ( whenever it decides to come back up or another day ) ? Would be hype to see an updated version from your old Stormborn video :D

[@Optoe]

Thanks! We'll see.. I am pretty limited on what i can test because i always run out of mystic orbs and it take a while to farm them up again. Takes me like 300+ orbs each time i try to test a committed build 🤣

[@chefchori4926]

Im pulling low numbers while running FoT and i often lose dps while doing heroic strike, hope this video helps me with it

[@Bibliofish]

Hey I love the videos, I am just curious how you manage to cap your rage while Heroic Striking so much. Although I'm on Thrall I've found I have to throttle my heroic strikes just to get to 300. Do you think it's just a matter of gear and abilities or is there something particular you do for rage gen?

[@Optoe]

you only use hs during titanic phase

[@Bibliofish]

@Optoe oh, doy. Thank you. One last question, do you think imp berserker stance is worth getting if you're not putting the 4 points into imp wf and rampage?

[@Optoe]

@@Bibliofish Yep. It's definitely more worth.

[@JonnyLor90]

Man, I enjoy watching your builds! I was wondering if you ever tried a SMF Dwar, or Molten Earth build with chapter 3 of season 8?

[@Optoe]

Ty! Smf dwar was good before the smf nerfs. Now anything that plays smf is pretty bad. I have not played molten earth

[@JonnyLor90]

Do you have any builds with current updates? I'd love to see more Dwar since that was what I started out with in A'lar!@@Optoe

[@Optoe]

@@JonnyLor90 I was messing with dwar on A52 a couple weeks back. Planned on posting it but i wasnt getting good numbers with it. I was only getting around 15-16k ish which is more than enough for most content but compared to other specs its kind of lacking.

[@nullevoc]

Any plans for showcasing a Dragon Warrior build ?

[@Tangies]

do you use sword spec for proc's or hit?

[@boogaboogamem180]

when do you use raging blow?

[@TheLocoreaper]

Wait, can I ask about your rotation macro setup? How is that so dynamic and does it flawlessly switch between 2 and 1x hemo? And also, is arp still worth it after the armor nerfs on bosses ? I currently have 2x heroic twinblade with Twisted Assault and no longer need the energy from Relentless Strikes.. so that's one less source of arp used in the build as well. Is the roughly 25% arp for 6 TP still worth it? You also seem to not be using Raging Blow as well. Is it best to just keep hitting targets with 3 stacks until you can use Steel Wind, instead of consuming inbetween with Raging Blow? Especially with getting off 1 more second of Recklessness by using Raging Blow? There also seem to be versions who forego Heroic Strike and use Seal of Command, dropping Rampage (as it's one of the most brought raid buffs anyways). What are your thoughts on that?

[@Optoe]

1. /castsequence reset=combat hemo, hemo, titanic strike (ofc type it out correctly) 2. Arpen is meh if you have low amounts, mostly used relentless strikes for energy..BUT UR RIGHT. I think I won't even need it since i run adrenaline rush and chasin the rush!!! I will drop that and try w/o relentless strikes for extra 3 te into physical %. 3. Im terrible at the spec. You should be using raging blows when you have 3 stacks of the titanic buff. But i keep forgetting bc theres so much other stuff to track. Maybe use a WA so you do it better lol. 4. Yeah you can remove HS if you wanted and just use command. Im using both. HS is a minor dps increase and just extra buttons to press. I took rampage just for the 2% crit and 2% more attack speed. But tbh you can drop that too. I wanted to stack attack speed.

[@TheLocoreaper]

@@Optoe 1. Really? Because the way your screen seems to work, it seems like it actually update between 1 and 2 hemos, depending on being in and out of the 20% dmg window. Also as a question... what are your thought on capping white hits with FoTT? Especially now that they brought the hit cap up from 27 to 34%. Worth it, or just stick with 14% and put points into other stuff?

[@Optoe]

@@TheLocoreaper Yea. Thats the macro i use. Hit cap still 24%. I think im at 20% hit chance with the set up and a 22% with wep procs. Try to get as much hit as you can passively. I would aim to be around 17-18% though if you cant. This spec is all melee hits so its good to be near hit capped.

[@TheLocoreaper]

​@@Optoe 1. How/when do you use cooldowns? Blade Flurry, Death Wish, Recklessness and Adrenaline Rush? 2. How does this build compare single target to TG Muti or Gurubashi Berserker agi? Or are those versions played with str?

[@Optoe]

@@TheLocoreaper You want use your cds during titanic phase so you stack all your buffs. Its very tedious and can take awhile to get used/track. Recklessness, bloodrage, and berserker rage should be used to keep up enrage uptime. Ideally you should be able to maintain 95%-100% uptime if you do it correctly. Not sure about tg muti. Gurubashi and fott can both do 20k

[@ZOMGWTFALLNAMESTAKEN]

Man, people must be 30k in raids w/ BL&heroism. Absolutely cracked

[@Optoe]

Some burst 30k but most sustain around 23-25k

[@2dumb2live64]

What would you reckon is the dps increase from the pet?

[@2dumb2live64]

And also what does most of your damage come from? I playe withthis LRE a long while ago, and back then most of the damage came from white hits

[@wutkeks4063]

Took me a while to find the rage bar up top lol. Do you actually look at that tiny number or do you know what your rage is at based on rotation/procs?

[@Optoe]

Yeah just gotta watch rage or watch for the titanic buff.

[@runelinnemannjrgensen1170]

only mouse shake for this one, damn

[@Lildonwavey]

Hey opto, do u have any idea which is stronger between fott and kote

[@Optoe]

hybrid generally stronger

[@YuhSeco]

Which is more fun to play / better this or Heavy weight ? sorry for all the questions im trynna pick a new build before TBC cause my KOTE got nerfed hard!

[@Optoe]

up to you lol. i personally enjoy hw more. idk whats fun to you. kote still pumps like crazy

[@keegancharlieboy1385]

you going to play the new chapter opto coming this friday or ??

[@Optoe]

We'll see ! Probably try too.

[@wnbb153]

Will u show off more builds on a52?

[@Optoe]

The builds i know yes. 😃

[@Jajsemdobrej]

Can you make video in raid with new specs?

[@Optoe]

We'll see.

[@TOCCL]

tried adding gloomblade?

[@Optoe]

only dagger

[@TOCCL]

@@Optoe brainfart, my bad. Good video

[@gordokgwe]

Finally

[@Optoe]

🤣

[@gordokgwe]

Now tow or ambi >:)

[@Optoe]

You can refer to my previous videos. Im sure after the slight buff to smf it can do at least 16k 🤣

[@gordokgwe]

I saw dudes doing 13--14k only, full M t5. Idk

[@Optoe]

@@gordokgwe It just got buffed so it might be slightly better now. Im just guessing the number based on previous tests
