About this module
The priority
- The Hunt — when it is ready
- Reaver’s Glaive — when ready, with no empowerment waiting
- Chaos Strike — with rending strike
- Essence Break — during metamorphosis
- Blade Dance — inside essence break
- Chaos Strike — inside essence break
- Eye Beam — when it is ready
- Blade Dance — when it is ready
- Chaos Strike — to spend fury
- Felblade — at 80 fury or less
- Immolation Aura — when a charge is available
Common mistakes
- Pressing Chaos Strike outside Essence Break when Eye Beam is about to come up.
- Throwing Reaver’s Glaive while Rending Strike or Glaive Flurry is still waiting.
- Using Essence Break outside Metamorphosis.
What’s simplified
- Each turn is one decision (about one global cooldown). Cooldowns and buff durations are converted to turns, so timing is approximate.
- Priority order follows SimulationCraft’s default priority list for this build, simplified to the abilities modeled here. Costs, cooldowns and effects come from Blizzard’s spell data. Rule wording is our own.
- Automatic glaive hits (they show up as Throw Glaive damage) are not button presses, so they are left out, along with Shattered Souls pickups.
- Eye Beam (30 Fury, 13-turn cooldown in the trainer, an approximation of its talented cooldown) grants Metamorphosis for 6 turns: Chaos Strike becomes Annihilation and Blade Dance becomes Death Sweep.
- Blade Dance has a 4-turn cooldown (spell data: 15 seconds before talents; shortened here to stand in for cooldown reduction). Essence Break lasts 3 turns.
- Fury caps at 120 and passive generation (Demon Blades, soul fragments) is a flat 22 per turn. Felblade adds 40.
- Reaver’s Glaive becomes available every few turns (a 30% chance per turn, an approximation). Vengeful Retreat, Initiative and Inertia are not modeled.
